Does their PR bandwagon ever stop! They just submitted this press release to our site. :eek:

==============================================
One More in a Line of Right-On Marketing Decisions - Hits the Target 18 to 45 Male Market Where They Live BEDFORD, Texas, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ --
First it was Evander Holyfield's boxing trunks. Then Howard Stern returns to Dallas radio. Then an auction of e-Business in a Box packages on eBay. Now *****, the fastest growing Web hosting and Internet solutions provider in the world, has become the Official Web Host of the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network.
"We know where we are likely to find our target market," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of *****. "Most of the owners and decision-makers of the small and medium sized business that we serve are men between 18 and 45. They watch sports, they listen to Howard Stern, they find cool stuff for cheap on eBay."
A spokesperson for the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network said: "The Cowboys Radio Network website is the number one source for up to the minute information about the Cowboys for fans around the world. We chose ***** to give us the creativity of an interactive site with the speed, reliability, and flexibility to keep up with the tremendous volume on game days."
The marketing savvy, combined with top customer service and cutting edge Internet tools at reasonable prices, has pushed ***** to the top of its industry and kept it growing even in the midst of a troubled economy. ***** has sold more than 3,600 of its "e-Business in a Box" kits since the product was introduced in March.
The company is adding staff and expanding into London. It is now acquiring 5,500 new customers a month, up from 5,000 a month six months ago, and still has the lowest churn rate in the industry.

I love it when people make assumptions, but maybe I'm in the minority. If so then I'm glad I'm not part of the majority.

I'm in that target age group. The only sports I watch (seldom) are fencing and football - and when I do watch the latter I root for Minnesota or Hamilton (CFL). I think Howard Stern is, well ... <censored for politeness sake>, and the things I buy cheap on eBay I buy because they are useful not cool.

What a crock!



My 2 cents for the half-penny it's worth.
