meetingpages.com Celebrates First Year Online

If you are doing any type of meeting planning or holiday event planning, chances are the first place you look is online. Last year alone, 40,000 Minnesota meeting planners sought out critical venue information and more at meetingpages.com, a comprehensive online meeting planning tool.

Since the website went live on Dec. 1 last year, meetingpages.com has had 1 million hits and the numbers are expected to exponentially increase, judging from recent month hit averages and expansion plans.

"We expect to double or even triple the numbers in 2008," said meetingpages founder, Casey Romano. "November averages alone would indicate climbing to over 80,000 visitors next year, plus we are entering another market in January where we will serve thousands more."

The company is expanding into the Wisconsin market this January, a clear sign meetingpages is a vital resource for the targeted world of online meeting planning, reaching more planners than ever before.

To plan and manage corporate events, such as parties and conventions, planners can find suppliers for facilities, services, activities, attractions, transportation and more. But the suppliers that advertise enjoy the advantage of increased visibility. Advertisers get a spotlight profile, with expanded information and photos on the site, where last year 29,000 profiles were viewed and 10,000 searches were performed.
