Sparta Commercial Credits Product Line Synergies For Helping to Fuel Sales Growth

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (OTCBB: SRCO) today announced that its subsidiary, Specialty Reports, Inc. (SRI), is experiencing broad penetration of its Specialty Mobile Apps, Cyclechex online Motorcycle History Reports, and RVchecks recreational vehicle online history report products throughout the United States and internationally. With respect to Cyclechex and RVchecks combined, SRI has sold those products into all fifty states and the District of Columbia, as well as into thirty-five countries. Sparta Commercial's Municipal Lease Division (www.spartamunicipal.com) has also been experiencing greater penetration with current contracts that include sixty-nine jurisdictions across the country. Sparta believes that the growing opportunities for its products come about through referrals from within its product lines.

Sparta's deep knowledge of the powersports industry gave credence to the idea that motorcycle history reports deserved as strong a place in the powersports sector as auto history reports had already established in its own sector. Consequently, Cyclechex.com was born. The implementation of that online product quickly prompted the recognition of a similar need in the retail Recreational Vehicle and Motor Home industry, so Sparta, under its new subsidiary, Specialty Reports, Inc., created RVchecks.com to operate with its own brand. As a result of the recent partnering with such preeminent industry names like Kelley Blue Book (KBB.com) and NADAguides (NADAguides.com), as well as several other online outlets, Cyclechex and RVchecks have solidified their position as the industry leaders.

After identifying the need, and as a result of positive feedback received in the course of processing consumer lease, municipal lease, Cyclechex and RVchecks transactions from retail dealers, Sparta developed Specialty Mobile Apps (www.specialtymobileapps.com) to help dealers catch up with the consumer rush in adopting mobile technologies. Specialty Mobile Apps is designed specifically as a product for retail powersports, RV, auto, and marine dealers, with capabilities to also suit the needs of auction houses and other consumer facing specialty companies. The apps are designed to work with any brand of smartphone or any type of mobile tablet. Specialty Mobile Apps are being adopted by companies throughout the country and the dealers are describing the results as "outstanding" and "wonderful." As an example, one Harley-Davidson dealer in a relatively small city in Ohio with a population of slightly over 12,000, has had over 15,000 downloads of their Specialty Mobile App in under a year, and a Honda dealer in a Kentucky city of under 4,000 people has had over 9,000 downloads of their app in approximately the same time frame. According to both dealers, the vast majority of these downloads were by individuals previously unknown to the dealers, but, because of their apps appearing at the Apple Store and Android Market, people became aware of the dealers, liked what they saw, and proceeded to engage with the dealers .

As dealers or consumers become engaged with any one of Sparta's or SRI's products, they are introduced to the other product lines that the company offers which often results in additional sales opportunities. Whether it is a consumer using an SRI mobile app that alerts them to the availability of a Cyclechex report, or a dealer who purchased a SRI mobile app becoming a supplier of the equipment for a Sparta Municipal lease transaction, or an RV dealer who was using RVchecks prior to purchasing his inventory purchasing an SRI mobile app, cross-selling is always in focus and a growing source of business.
