DM News Article Covers Citrix and IceWEB "Software As A Service" Marketing
HERNDON, Va. -- IceWEB, Inc., www.iceWEB.com (OTCBB:IWEB), announced today that DM News, a widely circulated publication covering Direct, database and Internet Marketing, published an article covering successful emerging trends used in the marketing and sales of Software As A Service (SaaS) products. The article, entitled "Demos and Trials New Selling Tactic for SaaS", reviewed marketing campaigns and efforts by Citrix (NASDAQ:CTXS) IceWEB, Inc. and Procuri, and can be viewed online at the following link: http://www.dmnews.com/cms/dm-sectors/b2b/42478.html
An excerpt from the article follows:
IceWEB, Inc., a provider of hosted Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint portals, is driving trial by partnering with other technology marketers.
While the company does a lot of marketing via Google, it finds this method "fruitful but expensive," says Gary Dunham, VP of corporate development at IceWEB, Herndon, VA.
This spring, the company partnered with RIM, makers of the BlackBerry, for a campaign targeting small and midsize businesses. The companies sent out e-mails and posted banner ads offering IceWEB's e-mail service free for 90 days and free synchronization up to a company's Blackberry users.
With "hundreds of clients" signing up for the service and most staying on after the 90-day trial period, IceWeb considers the campaign a success.
IceWeb also tracks the world of technology closely to see if there are ways that the company can capitalize on emerging trends. For example, when the iPhone was released, IceWeb quickly sent out a press release indicating that the phone can be synchronized to IceWEB's on-demand e-mail.
The release was picked up by numerous technology publications and IceWeb saw its Web traffic spike between 6,000 percent and 7,000 percent in one day. "We did quite a bit of business from that," Dunham says.
