Press Release Summary = After a brief discussion the whole department agreed upon
the fact that prize competitions, additionally, violate the portal's working codex,
which consists in reducing the user's informational overload by filtering the
supplied selection of information instead of further distracting them by even more
impressions and improbable prizes.

Press Release Body = Dublin, Ireland, April 23, 2007 - Immediately after market
launch, the developers of auto-betterdeals.com dissociated themselves from
competitions as an instrument for acquiring customers. According to the marketing
department, nowadays' consumers already face too many information offers, so that
low chances of winning a price are only confusing.

Planning the marketing strategy for auto-betterdeals.com, one collaborator presented
the idea of organizing an inaugural prize competition to attract customers. But
George Peterson, marketing manager, did not agree on that, pointing at the fact that
call centres use these competitions to obtain customer data. Following Peterson, his
own family suffered several months from constant phone calls. The callers referred
to a competition someone had participated in but then wanted to sell something.

Referring to cases like this, Peterson explained that in recent times consumers tend
to have a negative attitude towards prize competitions. He argued that they assume
that enterprises have to sell the obtained data in order to amortize the expensive
lure used as a prize. In view of this, Peterson made out a possible image loss for
auto-betterdeals.com. "There are sufficient new and used cars, insurances, and
finance matters! We do not need any other arguments to show consumers that our site
is worth a visit," he expressed confidently.

After a brief discussion the whole department agreed upon the fact that prize
competitions, additionally, violate the portal's working codex, which consists in
reducing the user's informational overload by filtering the supplied selection of
information instead of further distracting them by even more impressions and
improbable prizes.

Regarding the economic viability of this rejecting attitude, again Peterson's
argument convinced the department. Everyone considered the number of new and used
cars, insurances, finance alternatives, accessories and testimonials presented on
auto-betterdeals.com as a convincing argument for all potential customers.
