RISE INTERACTIVE NEWSLETTER

March 2009

Hi Everyone,

As the year’s first quarter comes to a close, Rise Interactive is progressively moving forward.

This newsletter provides updates and announcements on Rise’s services, new clients, our quest for the best people, and information on our latest blog posts.

This month's topics:

Rise Offers New Service - International Search Engine Marketing

Rise Interactive is proud to announce we have added International Search Marketing as a service offering. The Internet has no borders, and neither do the marketing plans of many Global companies. In recognition of this reality, Rise has been researching search’s International landscape and is excited to offer our newest service.

We have developed an extremely detailed process for managing both SEO and PPC campaigns regardless of the region or native language. Rise is eager to put this system into effect and to obtain more International clients – so much so that we are offering a 30% discount to a select group of International SEO and PPC clients.

We plan to start out cautiously, so we are granting these discounts to only a small number of clients to ensure that the Client Service team is not overwhelmed. The first client we obtain for each new geographical region and/or language will be eligible for the discount.

If your company or someone you know is interested in our International SEM services, please simply reply to this email, call Mark Benoit at 312-646-1282 or go to the Rise Contact Us page.

The discount is a limited time offer that will be granted on a first come, first serve basis.

Our suite of services also includes:

» Affiliate Marketing

» Creative Development

» Display Advertising

» Email Marketing

» Media Strategy

» Paid Search

» SEO

» Web Analytics
