Best Buy Lands Coveted National Retail Slot for Vestalife Ladybug

Upstart Brand's iPod Speaker Dock Debuts at Best Buys Across the Nation

May 6, 2008 — Big-box electronics powerhouse Best Buy will become the first-ever national retail outlet for lifestyle product manufacturer Vestalife for its sensational award winning Ladybug iPod speaker dock. The Ladybug will arrive on the sales floor at over 600 Best Buy stores across the nation. The Best Buy deal marks the first major brick-and-mortar debut for Vestalife.

"We are thrilled to make our first national retail sale to Best Buy," says Vestalife founder and CEO Wayne Ludlum. "We have seen tremendous enthusiasm for the Ladybug since it was first unveiled. We're delighted Best Buy will be able to deliver the Ladybug to eager, waiting consumers and we look forward to a longstanding partnership."

After securing twin bragging rights in January with the coveted "Best of Show" title from Mac experts iLounge and an Innovations & Design Award from CES, the Ladybug quickly became the darling of media and the public alike, all of whom love the Ladybug's award winning combination of great sound, groundbreaking design and tactile pleasure. Celebrities from Britney Spears to Shane West eagerly snapped up the device at the Silver Spoon Oscar Suite last February. Numerous national media ranging from Spin Magazine to Teen Vogue have enthusiastically reviewed the unit--along with NBC's Brian Williams' national broadcast from the floor of January's Consumer Electronics show, which featured the Ladybug as one of the season's hottest new products.

"After all the attention, it's rewarding to see that consumers will now be able to see what the excitement is all about," concludes Ludlum, "and seeing and feeling, as well as hearing, is believing."
