Removed Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament I95 Banners Go Virtual

Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament 100 foot banners on I95 ordered to be removed by the State result in free virtual banners added by Fairfield County Online area guide.

(PRWEB) August 17, 2005 -- If anyone happened to be driving through New Haven over the past month, you could not help notice the brightly colored 100 foot banners draped across the Pirelli building promoting the Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament.

Unfortunately, the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation says they are a distraction to drivers and presented a citation for the Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament to remove them one week before the tournament begins. It is unfortunate after being in the same place for the past five years.

In learning of the news, Fairfield County Online (already an online sponsor of the event) has stepped up and responded by doubling their promotional/advertising agreement with the tournament at their own expense.

While we are not a building, we are in the banner advertising business," says John Cahill of Fairfield County Online. Already promoting the Pilot Pen Tournament through banners on the site, Fairfield County Online will double the amount of exposure by placing more banner ads throughout the site. It is not apples to apples, but felt if we could help, we should," stated Mr. Cahill, In fact, we even placed the Pilot Pen banners throughout our Traffic Cams of Intersate 95 this morning."

Fairfield County Online is a online area guide offering quality information, goods and services throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut. Over 20,000 visitors a month turn to the site to learn about restaurants, events, attractions, shops and more.
