/EINPresswire.com/ -- NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 24, 2017) - Andrew Waters, Executive Chairman of Ecom Products Group Corporation ("EPG" or the "Company") (OTC PINK: EPGC), announced today the launch of another platform to better serve the company's clients. This is the first in a series of product launches the company has planned over the next several months.

Chinese based e-commerce platform, International Brands Direct Limited (IBD), which is part of the Ecom Products Group (EPG), is launching its latest Shop Abroad destination, Shop NYC, which markets and builds brand awareness of key shopping destinations and brands in New York City to independent Chinese travelers.

Following the success of Shop LA, which was recently launched with Rodeo Drive, The Grove, Santa Monica Place and South Coast Plaza among its participating members, Shop NYC is IBD's latest US offering to Chinese consumers, with Shop Florida, Shop SF and Shop Las Vegas to follow. Shop NYC boasts participating shopping destinations such as Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Westfield, Century 21 and Woodbury Common. http://www.shopibd.cn/travel/region/view/id/17

Up to 60 % of Chinese consumers still buy their international luxury & aspirational brands offshore. Heritage, uniqueness, and authenticity of the products are their major concerns. To capture this growing opportunity, IBDSHOP.COM was created to help retailers directly connect with millions of savvy Chinese customers without losing control of their brand. IBD is also a cost-effective solution for retailers who have limited presence in China and need to connect and communicate to millions of Chinese consumers in tier 2, 3 and 4 cities.

IBD is both a brand building and sales tool, reaching millions of target consumers daily and can drive brand awareness and attract travelling consumer to retail brands or provide an online sales platform to connect and transact with Chinese consumers.

EPG's Chairman Andrew Waters emphasizes: "Both retailers and Chinese consumers want to connect and are hesitant to sell and buy on the major portals in China due to concerns over brand destruction and product authenticity. We help connect the dots by bringing unique luxury brands to Chinese shoppers and directing Chinese shoppers to stores and shopping destinations around the world when they travel."

Mr. Waters also stated: "This is part of our overall platform development as we continue to deploy products and solutions that serve our clients. With the US being such a large market geographically, we are intending to follow through with three more Shop Abroad cities within the next quarter, as well as launching our IBD USA e-commerce platform that allows unique European and UK brands to sell directly to consumers in the States. These are very exciting times."
