Exhibit 99.1

Imergent  Announces  Appointment  of Don  Danks  As  New  CEO &  Brandon  Lewis,
President and Chief Operating Officer

OREM, Utah, July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Imergent, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:
IMGG - News) announced today that its founder,  John (Jay) Poelman, was retiring
as CEO effective July 1, 2003.  Mr.  Poelman's  retirement  comes as the company
completes its turnaround that saw Imergent's  performance rebound from a loss in
fiscal year 2000 to record revenues and earnings during the first three quarters
of its fiscal year 2003.

Mr.  Poelman was one of the early  founders of Galaxy Mall in 1995.  Galaxy Mall
was  acquired  by  Imergent  (formerly  Netgateway,  Inc.  at  the  time  of the
acquisition)  in  June  of  2000,  after  which  Galaxy  Mall  transitioned  its
operations  to the award  winning  StoresOnline  technology  platform,  owned by
Netgateway.  Mr.  Poelman  was  instrumental  in  improving  all  areas  of  the
companies'  operations,  leading the company to profitability  and positive cash
flow.

Said Company Chairman and newly appointed CEO Don Danks, "We will miss Jay's day
to day involvement but look forward to his continued  support as a consultant to
the company. I have worked closely with Jay and Brandon both on the board and as
the previous CEO during the company's transition.  Brandon has been a key member
of the  company's  management  for 11 years and has  served as  President  after
heading the company's sales and marketing efforts for many years, so he is fully
acquainted with all of the company's operations."

Mr.  Poelman said, "I leave the company in good hands.  Brandon  Lewis,  who has
been with the company from the  beginning  knows and  understands  the company's
business  better than  anyone.  Together  with the entire  executive  management
group, and Don's continued  involvement with the investment  community and clear
focus on  having  the  company  work for its  shareholders,  I have the  highest
confidence  that the  company  will  continue  its rapid  progress as the market
leader."
