Armacost Antiques Shows Selects Vocus Small Business Edition for Public Relations and Online Marketing
Vocus' On-Demand Press Release Distribution System Enables Company to Attract New Customers, Drive Website Traffic and Increase its Online Visibility.
Lanham, MD (PRWEB) December 10, 2008 -- Vocus, Inc., (NASDAQ: VOCS) a leading provider of on-demand software for public relations management, today announced that Armacost Antiques Shows, a nationally known promoter and producer of fine antiques shows, has selected Vocus' Small Business Edition (SBE) to promote its business. Using Vocus SBE, Armacost will be able to drive traffic to their website and help create a renewed interest in the antique business.
"As a company, we're at a juncture where it's time to sharpen our media outreach activities and try to replicate the sort of intensive PR effort you'd associate only with large companies with vast resources," said Bob James of Armacost Antiques Shows. "In the past, we've depended on methods to get our message out that proved unsatisfactory given the high stakes and the level of effort demanded."
James continued, "Now, Vocus' small business public relations software has enabled us to grab the media's attention in ways we simply couldn't in the past. It's put us on the path to creating a solid PR foundation for our brand."
Armacost Antiques Shows provide distinctive and profitable venues for dealers, plus opportunities for antiques lovers to buy with an assurance of quality and authenticity. Its nonprofit sponsors help generate enthusiasm for antiques, while delivering much-needed financial support for their communities. In recent years, antique collecting has waned and the downturn has noticeably affected antiques shows.
"If our shows are to remain strong sales events in coming years, we need to attract new generations of buyers to the world of antiques, requiring a sustained, national public relations effort that precision-targets the media with regular frequency. Without a tool like Vocus SBE, we couldn't begin to run an effective national campaign," said Bob James of Armacost Antiques Shows.
