helpdesk.com Announces Winner of 2008 Exclusive Sponsor Auction

Dear Service & Support Vendor:
helpdesk.com, the leading online directory and resource destination for service, support and IT professionals, is excited to announce that AdventNet Inc. has been selected as the winner for its 2008 Exclusive Site Sponsorship auction. AdventNet, Inc. (www.adventnet.com), is a leading provider of a diverse range of enterprise IT, networking and telecom products targeting the help desk market. Their annual exclusive sponsorship program will begin January 1st, 2008.
The helpdesk.com Exclusive Site Sponsorship auction, now entering its sixth consecutive year, is an annual event where qualified service and support vendors are invited to bid on the right to obtain exclusive site sponsorship on the helpdesk.com web site and related properties (including the www.helpdesk.com newsletter for IT professionals).
A record number of vendors participated in the 2008 auction process, which opened October 1st and closed November 9th. The auction was ended earlier than originally scheduled due to exceedingly high vendor interest. Vendor participation and consideration for this year's event was based on a minimum bid offer of $11,000 USD monthly (with twelve month contract) in addition to vendor history, relevance, stability and performance. This year's top bids were 30% higher than last year's top bids, and next year's bidding is expected to begin at $13,500.
Exclusive site sponsorship is a unique advertising model that hurdles many of display advertising's most challenging and persistent problems including ad clutter and competition, effectiveness, and overall performance. helpdesk.com's Exclusive Site Sponsorship program affords the sponsor unrivaled visibility and access to hundreds of thousands of qualified visitors annually. The helpdesk.com site sponsor benefits by obtaining exclusive advertising rights on one of the service and support industry's most trafficked and respected destinations, prominent display, text, and link placements across top trafficked pages, the ability to market directly to site visitors and newsletter subscribers, and unlimited lead and revenue generation potential.
