NEW YORK, and STAMFORD, Conn., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iVillage Inc. (Nasdaq: IVIL - News), a leading women's media company and the number one source for women's information online, and American Homeowners Association (AHA)®, the nation's #1 member-based homeowner organization, today announced a renewed and expanded marketing relationship. Under the new agreement, AHA will market to iVillage visitors several subscription services of interest to women. The expanded relationship aims to more deeply impact the iVillage audience and provide solutions for their core needs in the Healthcare and Homeownership categories.

"This expansion of our relationship with AHA demonstrates how smart marketers targeting women understand the benefits of being on the iVillage Network," said Douglas W. McCormick, Chairman and CEO, iVillage Inc. "The fact that AHA has not only renewed but also expanded its relationship with iVillage speaks volumes about the kind of results we can deliver."

"Our Healthy Advantage® membership service makes healthcare more accessible to the masses," said Richard J. Roll, Founder and President of AHA. "Nearly three in 10 of American women had no health coverage at some point in the past year according to Kaiser Women's Health Survey. Our program offers them a leg up on all health related expenses by providing deep discounts."

AHA, on behalf of its American Health Association affiliate, will market the Healthy Advantage® savings program, which offers savings of up to 60% on the most common day-to-day healthcare needs including vision, dental, prescriptions, and more through over 600,000 physicians, pharmacies, dentists, and other health providers nationwide. It also offers the convenience of online accessibility including a search function for local provider listings.

In the homeowner category, AHA will continue to market its homeowner membership benefits to women on iVillage, as well. Single women are the second largest segment of homebuyers so far this year, accounting for 21% of transactions, according to a recent survey by the National Association of Realtors®. Fannie Mae has forecast that female-owned households will increase to nearly 31 million -- 28 percent of all households in the U.S. -- by 2010.

AHA's 30 membership benefits offer homeowners and first-time buyers savings and convenience through over 200,000 participating providers nationally, including 24/7 emergency assistance through 40,000 pre-screened contractors, free legal consultations with a choice of over 6,000 lawyers, and grocery savings through 170,000 supermarkets. Members also have access to AHA's award-winning AHA Home University(SM), which features over 100 authoritative courses designed to help members improve the process of buying, selling, financing, maintaining and remodeling their homes.

One of the new AHA membership benefits provides guaranteed free shipping and rebates of up to $25 on online purchases through over 600 top brand name merchants including Old Navy, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Disney, Lane Bryant, KB Toys, Circuit City, and Payless Shoe Source.

An additional new feature of the AHA Membership is a prescreened remodeling contractor matching service backed by a $1,000 satisfaction completion guarantee. Members are able to receive competitive bids from contractors who have been prescreened for critical criteria, and have special access to contractor reviews from other users.
