While most Internet companies, especially those in the online marketing sector, have recently been battered and bruised, one online marketing firm is actually enjoying success. ePrize, a company that
develops and administers online sweepstakes and promotions for corporate advertisers, has seen revenues grow substantially during the recent economic fallout. Since 1999, the company has managed over
400 promotions and 2001 year-to-date sales are up 38% over last year. This is compared to an average 44% fall-off in revenue of similar companies. More importantly, while many companies have seen
losses widen, ePrize actually sells more than it spends. A refreshing note in these market conditions.
