That's one hell of a pump to move this rotten stock. Gonna take more than sloppy websites, green screens and white couches.
Here's one of the originals.
WINTER PARK, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
IC Places, Inc. (OTCBB:ICPA) is pleased to announce that it has signed Marketing
Campaign agreements with Godaddy.com, Eastbay.com, Brookstone.com, Petco.com and
FootLocker.com. Under the agreements, IC Places runs commercials and site wide
banners offering Coupon Codes for each company. IC Places show host also do
in-show shout-outs talking about each discount coupon code. In each instance, IC
Places receives a commission on purchases made whenever the coupon codes are
used.
Coupon Codes have quickly become the fastest way for websites with strong
visitor loyalty to generate above average revenues. Each year, coupons generate
nearly 3 billion dollars in transactions within the U.S. alone. Hundreds of
well-known online stores have a place within their shopping cart for a "Coupon
Code" that gives discounts at checkout. Coupon Codes are taking over the old
pay-per-click system in Advertiser`s hearts. The reason is simple, with Coupon
Codes the Advertisers only pay when the lead generates revenue. "This creates a
win for IC Places," said Steven Samblis President of the company; he went on to
say, "Our sites offer highly watched Video Programs. According to Alexa, our
average visitor spends over 10 minutes on our sites, this gives us time to forge
a bond. This means a higher number of our viewers tend to respond to the various
coupon codes we offer."
