ContactAtOnce! LLC Selected as Top 40 Innovative Georgia Technology Company

ContactAtOnce! LLC selected as top 40 innovative Georgia technology company. The ContactAtOnce! Web-based communication service helps websites better convert shoppers into ready-to-buy prospective customers.

Atlanta, GA (PRWeb) February 28, 2007 -- ContactAtOnce! has been selected as one of the Top 40 Innovative Technology companies in Georgia by the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), the state's leading technology organization. Roswell-based ContactAtOnce! is a pioneer and leader in the fastest growing segments of online advertising - those in which the goal of marketers is to engage prospective customers shopping on the Internet ahead of big-ticket offline transactions such as the purchase of a car or home, the leasing of an apartment, or the selection of an attorney.

"By helping providers of online classified and vertical search websites better serve their advertisers, we help them accelerate revenue growth", said Marc Hayes, Founder and EVP Products of ContactAtOnce!. "Big brands and ecommerce providers drove early innovation in online advertising, but local businesses such as auto dealers, real estate brokers, apartment managers, and service providers are expected to drive the next wave. These businesses don't value impressions or clicks so much as they value live conversations with their prospective customers. We understand that, and the ContactAtOnce! service delivers results."    

The TAG Top 40 were chosen based on a number of criteria, including: degree of Innovation; scope and financial impact of innovation; likelihood of success; and promotion of Georgia's innovative efforts nationally and internationally. Companies selected to be in the Top 40 also participate in a showcase exhibit at the Georgia Technology Summit, attracting some 800 of the state's technology leaders.
"Our congratulations to ContactAtOnce! for making this year's Top 40 list," said Tino Mantella, president of TAG. "Nearly 100 companies applied this year, the highest in the history of the Top 40 program."
