Group Cites Strength of Search Marketing and over $100 Million Search Marketing Spend in Dallas/Fort Worth
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DALLAS, Jul 10, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — The board of the Dallas/Fort Worth Search Engine Marketing Association (DFWSEM) is perplexed at the recent announcement that Google would soon close its Dallas sales location.
“Bottom line, North Texas is a great place to do search engine marketing. We believe it’s the best place in the country to do search marketing,” said Tony Wright, Vice-President and spokesman for DFWSEM. “According to our internal survey at DFWSEM, our members represent more than $100 million spent annually in search engine advertising, and much of that money goes to Google. And while our membership is large, it’s only a fraction of the actual amount being spent or allocated from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I just don’t think the guys in Mountain View have ever been to Dallas and don’t know what they are missing.” Read the rest of this entry »
We are currently accepting board member nominations for the 2008-09 board. We are looking for volunteers who will have the time and resources to help grow the organization over the next year. If you would like to volunteer your time as a member of the board this year, please send in your name, or the name of anyone in your organization, or other organization for consideration. Also include the phone number of the nominee, if you have it available.
You may still nominate board volunteers who are not currently dues paying members – all they have to do is pay their dues to take their board seat upon confirmation.
We will be accepting nominations via email at rob [DOT] garner AT icrossing [DOT] com until the end of the day, July 14, 2008. Once the volunteer board is determined, the elected board members will vote on roles at a separate board meeting.
Thank you for your continued support of DFW SEM. Let me know if you have any questions, or need additional information.
