targeting the US government and hotel markets, today announced it has signed
an agreement to become a Certified Partner with PRWeb. Terms of the agreement
allow Softscribe to distribute content via PRWeb�s RSS newsfeed to over

too numerous to mention. PRWeb is a leading online press release newswire.

for Rich Site Summary or the blogger friendly version Really Simple Syndication,
is a way of publishing short summaries of content to which people may subscribe.
Vantis Website Visits Spike 300% "Nine months of work culminated in the launch and rebranding of our company in October 2004. The day Softscribe distributed the press release on PRWeb�s RSS distribution channel, visits on our new website doubled; the day after, visits spiked 300%," said Kelly Blake, president of Calgary-based Vantis International Corporation. Vantis is the largest provider of marketing and revenue generation services for independent hotels, car rental companies and airlines. The newly rebranded and renamed company unites the people, services and more than 25 years experience of VIP International and Lexington Services. Blogs Launch News Squires noted the use of blogs is reshaping the influence public relations has on a company�s sales. He recommends organizations cautiously consider blogs for standalone product reviews, to promote an aggressive analyst relations program, and for launching new products or major company news. "A dedicated blog launched in parallel with a news announcement can create a personal, conversational, subjective sounding board for shaping opinion," said Squires.
