TAMPA, Fla.--Oct. 1, 20051, 2005--Online Sales Strategies Inc. (Pink Sheets:OSSG) ("the Company") announced today that it has signed an exclusive co-marketing agreement with CarTHINK, the leading online sales service provider for retail automotive dealers. The agreement will add significant scale, capacity and revenue potential to the company's current automobile consignment model by allowing the Company or its franchisees to fully service new and used automobile dealers in their communities.

We believe that when it comes to selecting a franchise opportunity, the combination of our proprietary software program, CarTHINK, and other B2B models we are working on will make the difference."
