Hostway Launches a New Site to provide a One-Stop-Shop for Businesses to Enhance Their Online Presence
To celebrate the launch of Hostway Business, Hostway announces a $10,000 marketing budget sweepstakes to help small businesses drive traffic to their Web sites.
Chicago, IL—Monday, August 18, 2005—Hostway, a leading Web hosting provider, announced today the launch of HostwayBusiness.com, a service exclusively devoted to helping small businesses maximize the ROI from their Web sites. In celebration of the launch, the company is offering a $10,000 Marketing Budget Sweepstakes to be awarded to one lucky small business.
Hostway has always been dedicated to supporting the growth of small businesses by utilizing easy-to-use online services. This passion is the driving force behind the development of HostwayBusiness.com to help small businesses attract more customers, streamline operations, save money on IT infrastructure and gain peace of mind. The robust product line available at this new site bundles Hostway’s Web site design services, search engine marketing tools and site management features.
Many businesses realize that money invested in establishing a presence on the Web is well spent. However, it’s also true that many small businesses are not maximizing the ROI from their Web sites and are losing potential customers as a result. A large component of this is not taking advantage of search engine marketing, through the use of search engine optimization and pay-per-click keywords, to drive traffic to their sites.
“The majority of our customers are at a phase where they want to roll out their innovative marketing ideas, but don’t have the funding to do it. We want to help our customers fulfill their dreams and this $10,000 marketing budget sweepstakes will help a lucky customer do just that,” said John Lee, VP of marketing at Hostway.
Small business owners and employees in the US are eligible to enter the sweepstakes simply by visiting www.hostwaybusiness.com/sweepstakes. One lucky winner will be able to use the cash prize to conduct search engine optimization and other essential online marketing components of today’s marketing mix.
“For many small businesses, the task of designing their own Web site, marketing it and maintaining SPAM-free e-mail accounts may seem a little daunting. With this in mind, Hostway wanted to offer a one-stop-shop that includes all these features and most importantly to get any business quickly on its way to being the next success story,” added Lee.
