The Portal Attack Begins!The Portal Awareness campaign has begun! By Emma Kae - 5th October 2001 - Back to News Tell us your opinion See what others have said This entire week the Messenger Office has been humming with excitement as the Gippsland.com launches its Portal Awareness campaign, introducing the delights of the Portal world to the local business community.
The time has come to ensure that no stone is left unturned and no business left in the dark about the Portal and all it has to offer. The girls in the office have been walking the streets, dialing up the phone lines, feeding the fax machine and filling inboxes with news of the mighty Gippsland.com
The response has been amazing, with the majority of businesses prepared to sign up for a listing immediately. The news of the Portal is spreading like wild fire, with talk of the business directory overheard in supermarkets, hairdressing salons and fast food restaurants across the region.
With the television advertisement, newspaper releases and radio announcement, the order forms are set to be coming in the form of a paper avalanche. The Internet support system for the Gippsland region is looking good!
