Happy Birthday to us!

Tarsus Group, the international media group with interests in exhibitions, conferences, publishing and online media, is this year celebrating the tenth anniversary of its leading website for the promotional industry, www.Promotional-Merchandise.org.uk.

The last ten years have been a huge success for the website with over 60,000 unique visitors using the site each month. The website is a valuable resource for marketers across organisations of all sizes, helping them to find thousands of promotional merchandising items for marketing campaigns, events and corporate hospitality. The website provides an easy to use 'one stop shop', saving people time and cost. With the website's strong growth, the brand has expanded in recent years with entry into new international markets.

In 2005, a German website, www.PromotionalMerchandise.de was launched and in April this year, an American website, www.PromotionalMerchandiseUSA.com was unveiled.

The Promotional Merchandise brand is listed as the top entry in Google in over 300 relevant searches, making it easy for users to locate the website. Over 700 promotional suppliers feature on the UK website and more than 900 different product categories give users a vast choice of items to purchase, ranging from badges and mouse mats to computer accessories and clothing. In May 2006, Apple Computers signed up to advertise on the UK and German website, promoting iPods and other products enabling companies to brand them as required for their marketing campaigns.

Ash Ali, Online Marketing Manager at Tarsus, said: "We are number one in the world out of 47 million websites for 'promotional items' and we're delighted with the huge success of the brand over the last ten years. We're looking forward to further expansion into new markets later this year and continue to regularly update the site with new exciting product categories and suppliers. Visitor traffic grows day by day and we're pleased to receive some great feedback from users and suppliers alike."

Ruth Baker, Managing Director of Oceanshade Limited, said: "The Promotional Merchandise Quick Quotes board promises hundreds of sales leads a month and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Quality, bonafide requests arrive on a daily basis, resulting in exciting new business with most of them coming back as repeat business."
