Medical Alarm Concepts and Harrington Multi Media - Results for MediPendant™ National Television Campaign Test Launch

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Feb. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. (OTCQB: MDHI.PK) and Harrington Multi Media, today announced the positive results of a test launch of the new MediPendant™ television commercial.

The test launch was very positive. It included a number of airings at various times on multiple stations, in order to find the best time of day and station for our targeted demographic.  "We were definitely concerned about the number of sales during this test," said Paul Green, VP of Sales and Marketing at Medical Alarm Concepts. "But we were even more interested seeing the number of calls per airing, the type of caller, as well as their interest level.  Before we move ahead with the campaign, we want to carefully target the most popular stations and times for our buyer's demographic," added Green.  The MediPendant™ users generally do not order this product for themselves. The buyer is typically the son or daughter, niece or nephew, or primary caregiver, and that is who we are trying to attract. Fortunately, we were very pleased with both the number of sales and the number of callers from this initial test.

"Based on the positive results and the feedback we have received from our media test, we have decided to make adjustments to the commercial and continue to run media tests in an effort to improve the results before we go full scale. We are particularly encouraged that a large percentage of orders have closed in the last week, well after the test ended. This is unusual with our other product base, but appears to be the case with a medical alarm device because the caregivers so often get involved in the buying process. We are very excited and are very confident that the MediPendant™  will be successful with the large population of elderly customers who want to maintain their independence and live at home for as long as possible," said Tim Harrington, CEO of Harrington Multi Media.

Under the terms of the signed agreement, Harrington will finance and produce multiple television spots and an Internet-based marketing campaign for the MediPendant™.  Harrington will be responsible for all of its costs in connection with the marketing of the products.  This will include financing all television media and purchasing units from the Company at a pre-arranged price.  Medical Alarm Concepts will book all revenue from the joint venture.

A long-term television campaign will be launched by mid to late March, with a strong concentration on networks such as Lifetime, CNBC, Discovery, and a few other stations.
