Dear Business Professional,
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Poolandspa.com, the World’s Oldest & Largest Pool & Spa Web Site with over 5000 pages of useful information, pictures, products and articles that are of interest to pool and hot tub spa buyers and owners.  We have been involved in all aspects of the recreational water products and backyard industry since 1980.   We have been on the Internet since 1994 – that’s practically the Stone Age in Internet years!  We were one of the first companies to see the tremendous value of nationally marketing to consumers online.

These days you can’t go anywhere without hearing about the Internet.  More and more people are using the Web every day and are turning to it as a resource for information as well as a place to shop.  But for advertisers, it’s like the Wild, Wild West out there – so many Web Sites, so many choices.  Often, companies must spend money needlessly on Internet Advertising because it is so hard to target their particular demographic audience.  That’s where we come in !

We have the customer's eyes that you want to reach !  If your company currently benefits from print, web, TV, and/or radio advertising direct to the high end consumer, then you will certainly benefit from an advertising program on our site !  Poolandspa.com is of interest to a very select, high quality demographic group.  Since we’ve been on the Internet for 15 years, our site is extensively linked to every major search engine on the Net – often appearing in the top 10 listings – making it very easy to find by pool & spa owners and buyers.  Our site gets great national exposure with millions of visitors each year !

Switch to target marketing on Poolandspa.com.  We hope that your company will join us on the Net – read on for more details !

Special for new advertisers only.  Select the plan of your choice and get $0 Down, 0% Interest and No Payments Until May 1, 2008
For further information on any of our advertising packages, see details below or call 1-800-876-7647 or 1-702-437-4343.
