eROI and Marqui Team to Help Clients Simplify Web Content Management, Search Engine Optimization and Other Online Marketing Activities

Playgroups USA, Fertility Retreats and Prospera Events Among First to Benefit From Relationship

Portland, Ore. – September 27, 2005 – Marqui, Inc., the company revolutionizing the way organizations handle marketing communications, and online marketing expert eROI, Inc., today announced details of an alliance that will make it easier and more affordable for companies to engage in a wide range of Web-oriented marketing initiatives. The agreement between the two companies represents a broad partnership that involves sales, marketing and development, and has already resulted in multiple customer wins, including Playgroups USA, Fertility Retreats and Prospera Event’s Austin InnoTech Web site.

eROI helps customers generate and capture qualified leads online through brand communications, email marketing, e-commerce, search engine marketing and Web site development. The company’s services are a natural fit with Marqui’s Web-based software, which empowers customers to automate and simplify a wide range of marketing communications activities, such as Web content management, program measurement, email subscriber management and more.

“Marketers have grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of technology suited to their needs. It is for this reason that Marqui developed a suite that addresses so many areas critical for effective marketing, such as process management, content management and analytics,” said Janet Johnson, Vice President of Communications at Marqui. “When combined with the portfolio of technology and consulting services offered by eROI, customers get a powerful set of capabilities at a very reasonable price point. That we have been able to secure a large number of customers with the joint offering in such a short timeframe is proof positive of its value.”

The partnership with Marqui has quickly proven to be very beneficial for us,” said Ryan Buchanan, eROI President. “Our goal is to continually raise the bar for our clients. We recently upgraded our e-commerce engine, ecomROI, making it search engine friendly – this new release, in combination with Marqui’s Web-based suite, will have a significant impact on search engine visibility improvement for our customers’ static and e-commerce sites.”

By working together, eROI and Marqui have already secured several new customers, including Playgroups USA, which provides a social network for parents and caregivers; Fertility Retreats, which specializes in helping individuals overcome fertility issues; and Prospera Event’s Austin Innotech – the Business and Technology Innovation Conference & Expo’s Web site.

“In working with eROI on our current branding efforts it became necessary to implement a content management strategy,” said Dr. Randine Lewis, Founder and Principal of Fertility Retreats. “The solution that eROI and Marqui have provided us has been extremely effective and is producing exactly the results we wanted.”
