Gebbie Press Announces Online Version Powered by TrackVia
Partnership Continues Gebbie Press’ 52-Year Commitment to Providing Accurate and Reliable Media Contact Directory in Innovative WaysNEW PALTZ, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gebbie Press, provider of an industry leading media directory since 1955, today announced that it has partnered with TrackVia to offer an innovative and powerful online version of the Gebbie Press All-In-One Directory. This partnership represents a true innovation in the way Gebbie Press customers receive their media contact information. Because the information is now delivered through TrackVia's powerful and easy-to-use online database, customers have an all-in-one solution to act on the information without needing to export to a spreadsheet, database, or various "point" solutions for tasks such as email campaigns, fax broadcasts, and mail merge.
"We pride ourselves on being one of the longest continuously operating, privately held media directory publishers in the U.S.," said Mark Gebbie, president and owner of Gebbie Press, Inc. "Online delivery of our content to our customers is something that we've considered for several years. But we didn't want to offer only a limited online application, as many of our competitors have done. We wanted to provide a true turnkey solution for our customers to view the information, search it, and then to act on it, all through the same application. Our partnership with TrackVia allows us to offer a true online media directory solution."
TrackVia has created an online database platform that allows content providers to easily, affordably and securely provide their information to their customers and clients through an all-in-one information management solution. For end users, TrackVia is an easy and flexible way to manage their data and improve their businesses. Features include the ability to send targeted email campaigns, fax broadcasts and mail-merge form letters and labels; search, sort and filter information; and create custom reports and custom database fields for tracking and workflow. In addition, TrackVia enables users to share and manage information in real-time and set appropriate permissions to ensure users see and change information at appropriate access levels.
"Millions of organizations today subscribe to important industry content, such as the great media directory information provided by Gebbie Press," said Matt McAdams, chief technology officer of TrackVia. "But they have to export the information into other applications to work with it, and to do specific tasks like mail merge into form letters. TrackVia closes this loop and allows content providers to offer an online version of their directory that provides all of the features their customers need to view, search, and act on the information in one application. And TrackVia allows content providers to update their information during the year without it becoming 'out of sync' with the information their customers have exported into other applications."
The new Gebbie Press online Professional version is available today at www.gebbie.com/online. The Professional version is offered at a price of $565 for a one-year subscription and includes two user accounts, 1000 emails per month, and 100 faxes per month. The Print-Plus version is available at a price of $230, which includes a printed copy of the 2008 Gebbie Press All-In-One Directory, as well as updated online content for one year.
