We have held several events such as the America's Next Top Model casting call that were beautifully displayed and promoted on the ZSpotlight newsletter. Of course we utilize our own airwaves, however ZSpotlight is a great addition to our campaigns as subscribers look forward to receiving their weekly e-mail. They have invited ZSpotlight to send them information on the local happenings, so we know they're paying attention to the message. I suggest that event promoters and entertainment venues use the combined power of the unique ZSpotlight database and of course, television!"

you about our other events in the spring!

Vincent Barresi - Owner of Vincent's Pizza of New York and Pres. Food/Beverage Services at RBC Center Rocky Top Hospitality Group (Bogart's American Grill, Michael Deans, Hi5, Red Room, Twisted Fork) "Going with ZSpotlight.com just made good sense given everything it offers. Viewers love the ease of use and how visually appealing it is but, most importantly, from a business perspective, it allows us to utilize a full spectrum of powerful marketing tools to drive business to our establishments. Also the price point was so attractive that we actually wanted to make sure to secure this service for 2 new restaurants that had yet to open." Bill Cokas, Creative Director for Strategic Insights, the marketing firm that handles the Rocky Top Group Tosca Ristorante "We came on board with ZSpotlight the first month they launched and quite honestly it's been the best investment dollar for dollar we've ever spent. The features and benefits almost seem endless in terms of what they offered. Each aspect of the site was exactly what we were looking for in an on-line marketing tool." Heather Brown, General Manager North Carolina Museum of History Young Associates "ZSpotlight enabled the Young Associates of the North Carolina Museum of History to reach out to a new audience for special events. The staff of ZSpotlight was extremely helpful by providing step-by-step instructions for setting up our client portal. They met with me on several occasions to set up a relationship that has benefited both the museum and ZSpotlight. We are looking forward to using ZSpotlight as a regular marketing vehicle for the Young Associates to share the mission of the museum with the Triangle community." Patricia Evans, Membership & Volunteer Coordinator Rum Runners Dueling Piano Bar "We have found ZSpotlight.com to be a valuable tool for our business. It is easier to navigate than some of the similar sites, and seems to cater more to our customer's needs. In addition, the ability to send out mass informational emails about events we are doing at our locations is an extremely valuable tool for our business." James Auerbach, Vice President for Rum Runners USA March Of Dimes event (Great Chefs of the Triangle '04) "I recently had the honor of chairing a gala charity event, Great Chefs of the Triangle, to benefit the March of Dimes. As with most charity events, one of our biggest challenges is getting the event information out to our targeted audience as much and often as possible. ZSpotlight helped us tremendously by including our listing in their weekly e-mail newsletter, with a circulation to over 30,000 triangle residents. The Great Chefs of the Triangle listing was seen by thousands of potential attendees, who would otherwise never have known about our event. ZSpotlight's e-mail included pertinent event information, our logo, and even a link to our website. This year's gala was a huge success and raised more money than ever before! Thanks ZSpotlight for supporting Great Chefs of the Triangle and the March of Dimes!" Mrs. Karen Trachtman, Chair, Great Chefs of the Triangle 2004 Lincoln Theatre "ZSpotlight's E-Newsletter is one of the best ways to reach people online in the Triangle market. Their target audience for entertainment & nightlife is a great way to help promote our shows to potential patrons. When ZSpotlight highlights one of our events, it definitely helps our advertising campaign." Pat Dickenson, Owner, Lincoln Theatre Alzheimer's Association "In preparation for the 2004 annual Triangle Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk, we were looking for new and exciting ways of getting the word out about the walk. I contacted ZSpotlight to see if they would be willing to post information regarding our event on their website and they could not have been more willing to help. I will definitely be contacting them again next year for their help!" Becky Cunningham, Volunteer, Eastern North Carolina Alzheimer's Association The Write Company Marketing and PR (on behalf of The Burning Coal Theatre) "It's been a pleasure using ZSpotlight.com to promote my client's theatrical production. Their comprehensive calendar of events reaches a broad demographic, so my client has a fresh opportunity to attract many new audience members for their shows." Becky Suzik, The Write Company Marketing and PR NC State Department of Music "Thank you so much for listing our performance on the front page of your weekly e-newsletter. I have shared this site with the performer & she is very excited to be listed there. You made her day. I'm sure she will now be a frequent visitor to your site. I would also like
to say thank you for making your site so easy and accommodating to list
events. As well, your prompt & courteous service when I call regarding
questions or concerns is appreciated. You're always so helpful and easy
to work with. I look forward to continuing to list performances on ZSpotlight." International Focus (The International Festival) "ZSpotlight helped us promote the International Festival to the Triangle's on-line savvy audiences. Easy to work with, great communications with their staff, a no hassles way to promote our event!" Marcy Hege, Executive Director, International Focus Leukemia - Lymphoma Society (NHI Dream Home Project) "As chairperson for the Leukemia -Lymphoma Society's largest independent fund raising event in Eastern N.C. - The NHI Dream Home Project, I've come to realize that no matter how hard you work or how worthy the cause is, if you can't get the word out to the right people your event will not be successful. For the last two years we have worked with ZSpotlight to educate the Triangle on upcoming events & have had terrific results. Thank you ZSpotlight for joining us in the fight against the nation's number one disease killer of children under the age of 15-Leukemia…. ZSpotlight is great!" JT Cayton, Chairperson, NHI Dream Home Project Raleigh Jaycees (Brookhill Steeplechase) "In 2002 we were taking a close look at the advertising channels we used to promote the Brookhill Steeplechase. When we learned about ZSpotlight's strategy we were impressed from the start. The triangle area is full of events like the Brookhill Steeplechase that needed a localized venue where the Internet savvy customer could learn about area events. ZSpotlight over the past several years has significantly grown their subscriber base and is by far the best online resource in the Triangle to learn about the local entertainment scene. From a nonprofit point
of view the Brookhill Steeplechase is one of the Raleigh Jaycees main
fundraisers. In order to grow the event it is vital that we reach our
target market to ensure the event is successful year over year. ZSpotlight
has provided an additional means for us to grow awareness of the event
in the community. With ZSpotlight's ever growing local subscriber base
of active individuals we are able to get our message across to the people
that will attend our event." Brian Cox, Race Director, Brookhill
Steeplechase O2 Fitness "As president of O2 Fitness I have had the pleasure of working with the team at ZSpotlight to promote our clubs, and am very thankful for all of their hard work above and beyond the call of duty. The amount of additional exposure they afforded us has been phenomenal, with our information being placed in the laps of thousands of potential members we might never have reached any other way. In almost all of the cases where a guest found out about us from ZSpotlight we have experienced a trend of them being educated young professionals with a fair amount of disposable income. The ownership team is also of the highest caliber, always personally making sure everything goes smoothly in all aspects of the business, from online ads to promotional events. In addition to all of this is the service they have been able to provide our members, allowing them to access pictures of themselves and their friends at socials from the easy to navigate website. I would recommend ZSpotlight to any business owners who wants to reach more customers and drive guests to their establishments." Michael Olander, President, O2 Fitness Development The North Carolina Theatre " Spotlight has been of wonderful service to the North Carolina Theatre. Their "ZWeekly" events newsletter is an eye-catching piece that links the consumer directly to our product. We've found it particularly useful to boost our online presence and, in turn, increase online ticket sales. We've also had the opportunity to be a part of "On Z Town" through our Cabaret Nights event with April & George Gallery & Wine Bar. This provides an unparalleled opportunity for prospective customers to view "behind the scenes" at North Carolina Theatre. ZSpotlight is an amazing reference tool for all of the entertainment possibilities in Raleigh, Cary, Durham and Chapel Hill. We're thrilled to be a part of it." Heather M. Millen, Director of Marketing and Publicity, The North Carolina Theatre Wil-Mar Golf Club "ZSpotlight has been my source of upcoming events in the Triangle area since it came on line. It is very easy to navigate and full of information. Searching for specific types of events like golf, or dining is so simple. The wide variety of listings gives me everything I need to know. We know our relationship with ZSpotlight will be long term." Fran Wilkerson, Owner, LPGA Professional, Wil-Mar Golf Club A Typical ZSpotlight Viewer Dear ZSpotlight Staff, "I just wanted to send you a quick note to say what a great job I think you are doing with your weekly newsletter. Last week I was trying to think of something I could do with my friends and their kids. I was looking for something that would be fun for the adults and appropriate for the little ones. I opened my ZSpotlight newsletter and it reminded me that the Durham Bulls were playing at home all weekend. I was able to click on the link and order the tickets right then without having to search for anymore information. It was so easy. All of the kids, big and small, had a great time at the game. Thanks for the great idea and making it so easy! Keep up the great work." Amy Bristle If
