| Jacksonville, FL (March 2, 2006) �The past year
brought outstanding results for SECURE-RES clients from coast to coast.
A national leader in online marketing services for the hospitality industry,
SECURE-RES helped its clients achieve $176 million in consumer-direct bookings
for 2005. Two typical clients were located in highly competitive markets
on both the East and West coasts.
On the West Coast, Gidget Gratin, director of marketing for Pacifica Hotel Company, reported similar results. �The way we define success in marketing is measuring ROI,� said Gratin. �Using the SECURE-RES complete suite of marketing products, some of our hotels achieved a greater than 17 percent total return directly from their websites. The year 2005 far exceeded our revenue expectations for Internet bookings. SECURE-RES is always searching for innovative marketing opportunities. In fact, our latest pay-per-click campaign from SECURE-RES produced a 17-to-1 ROI, compared to the 9-to-1 ROI of a major brand�s campaign during the same period.� SECURE-RES VP of Operations Mike Murray said one of the reasons for his clients� success is an ongoing program of product development and improvement. �We�re very gratified by results like these,� said Murray. �And the best part is that they are typical of all our clients. We work hard to continually refine and improve our services to achieve the highest measurable return on investment possible.� One of the first and largest companies of its kind, SECURE-RES has been a pioneer in offering Internet marketing services exclusively to the hospitality industry.
