A VALENTINES STORY: ATTORNEY FINDS HEART ON THE INTERNET

(ALEXANDRIA, VA - January 1998) Seeking a respite from the often antagonistic world of practicing law, attorney Dianne Mayfield has found a labor of love on the Internet. She has created an internet gift boutique that caters to shoppers who want to give unique and elegant gifts, but who lack the time to spend hours shopping, gift wrapping and shipping. Her Netique Gift Boutique, can be found at http://netique.com.

Ms. Mayfield says "In starting Netique, I wanted to create an environment where everyone is happy. The gift givers are happy about sending tokens of their love or respect. The gift recipients are happy to be remembered through thoughtful gifts. The creators of the gifts are happy that their exquisite products are being enjoyed. And we are happy to be a part of the process. For me, Netique is truly a business with heart."

For Valentines Day, Netique features items such as a heart-shaped picnic basket, a chocolate bar that looks like a Monet painting, and Laderach Swiss chocolates - artfully crafted gourmet chocolate truffles. There are also many elegant and unusual gift selections for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions.

Netique's first priority is customer satisfaction, offering rapid responses to inquiries, confirmation of orders, and a satisfaction guarantee. The site is easy to navigate, and all gifts are displayed in clear, professionally produced images. The company also offers special terms and services to corporate gift buyers.

Equipped with a secured server for credit card purchases, Netique also offers both a toll-free phone number (1-800-WEB-GIFT) and a fax number (1-703-689-3703) for those hesitant to submit credit card information on-line.

Ms. Mayfield, who co-authored the award-winning business book, The Entrepreneur's Road Map to Business Success, practices technology and franchise law in the Washington, D.C. area.
