Reply! Grows at Unprecedented Rate, Rips Beta Off Its Marketplace
Company Posts Annual Growth Rate of Over 50 Percent in Real Estate and Autos, Adds Key New Categories


San Ramon, CA - September 2, 2009 – Reply.com (www.reply.com), a leader in locally-targeted online marketing, announced significant growth in terms of revenue, new categories, and enhanced features and services since launching its beta Reply! Marketplace platform a year ago. In the face of a struggling economy, Reply.com has posted over 50 percent revenue growth for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 compared to a year ago in the Automotive and Real Estate categories, and has experienced increasing profitability over the last six consecutive quarters.

Since the beta launch, the company has added key new categories including Foreclosure, Home Improvement, Used Cars, and Home and Auto Insurance. The technology is highly scalable, and its effectiveness as a platform for efficiently and profitably acquiring locally-targeted traffic has proven itself. Due to the platform's steady and optimized performance, today the company has rolled out the full production version of the Reply.com Marketplace, lifting the "beta" label.

With a strong track record of success in performance-based marketing, Reply.com has introduced a breakthrough new model for the acquisition of locally-targeted and category-specific consumers on an Enhanced Click™ or per-lead basis that has led to significant growth. By eliminating the need for complex and expensive online marketing infrastructures and large teams of experts, Reply.com is making Internet marketing profitable and user-friendly for businesses of all sizes.

Company Founder and CEO Payam Zamani said, "Historically, lead generation has been scrappy and not as professionally implemented as CPC- and CPM-based platforms. Our Marketplace solution provides a platform that is designed to be comparable to Adwords and RightMedia, but is designed to charge on a per-lead or per-Enhanced Click™ basis, offering complete control over price, quality, and volume with a live auction for bidding," said Zamani. "Our technology makes online marketing accessible to the $100 billion locally-targeted ad market."

Reply.com's Enhanced Click™:
  • Represents a consumer with interest in a particular product or service in a specific geography
  • Eliminates the complexity of managing keywords while increasing targeting precision
  • Enables local advertisers to come online without needing to hire an agency or become experts in SEM
  • Leverages HTML widgets to convert remnant content inventory into high-ROI, targeted local traffic
Reply.com's Leads:
  • Provide lead buyers control over price, quality, and volume. Leads are sold in an auction-based, market-driven pricing format where a ratings system communicates quality
  • Enable lead sellers to maximize yield by taking advantage of Reply.com's single platform to access one of the most complete networks of lead buyers
  • Allow publishers to launch a white-label lead generation and monetization solution
"To best serve our advertisers, we also created an advertiser-centric exchange where ad dollars can be recovered by selling off poorly-targeted traffic generated through other CPM and CPC solutions through the Reply! click and lead exchange," said Zamani. "This helps our clients acquire what matters most to them—consumers with intent to purchase in locations where they can service them. Also, by selling excess clicks or leads into the Marketplace, they can recoup ad dollars for traffic acquired through other platforms that fall outside of their areas of coverage."

Reply.com has been active in events and speaking engagements–including Search Engine Strategies and LeadsCon East–and was invited to join elite industry companies at the upcoming TARGUSinfo Online Lead Quality Summit in Las Vegas, September 23-24, and at the J.D. Power Automotive Internet Roundtable in Las Vegas, October 14-16.
