Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 12, 2006

The Houston Technology Center, a business accelerator and the largest technology incubator in Texas, is offering a new online advertising program on its web site http://www.houstontech.org, designed for companies seeking to reach entrepreneurs, small businesses and professional service firms in the greater Houston area.

“We came up with the idea to launch this program with our online agency Spur Digital,” said Paul Frison, HTC president and CEO. “There is a shortage of quality Web sites in this market that offer significant reach to targeted audiences.”

While inaugural advertisers include FedEx Kinko’s, Amegy Bank and Southwest Airlines, HTC is offering online advertising space at competitive rates in order to make it available to small- and mid-sized companies with ads starting at $1,000.

"Amegy Bank supports HTC’s new online advertising initiative,” said Scott Fuller, senior vice president of corporate marketing, Amegy Bank of Texas. ”We are excited about this new and unique opportunity to build our brand cost effectively among one of our most important audiences.”

“The Houston Technology Center Web site is an important online destination for technology entrepreneurs and professional service firms in the greater Houston area,” said Steve Latham, founder and CEO of Spur Digital. “We’re very pleased to partner with HTC to deliver value to its online audiences, and to provide this service to advertisers seeking to reach entrepreneurs and small businesses.”
