PorscheZone.com Launches the First Porsche Portal
MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 8 -- PorscheZone.com, a joint venture of
Jump Internet, LLC and Heishman Porsche, today announced its Porsche specific
vertical portal is live and available free to Porsche enthusiasts at
http://www.porschezone.com. The new destination site features a Porsche specific
search engine, free classifieds, calendars, forums, e-mail and soon the
largest inventory of Porsche merchandise and related parts and accessories on
the web.
A simple intuitive interface and enhanced features enable Porsche
enthusiasts or the Porsche curious to search the web for Porsche specific
information, interact with members of the community by participating in
discussion forums or events listed in the Porsche related calendars.
"Community is not just a brand extension of PorscheZone.com; community is
our business," said Charlie Romero, President and CEO. "We are solely focused
on building customer loyalty for Porsche and our partners by empowering each
PorscheZone user with knowledge in the easiest most fluid manner possible."
"Who hasn't been frustrated when searching for something and having
thousands of results returned? PorscheZone has been engineered from the ground
up to alleviate non-relevant search results," continued Romero. "Take our
classifieds, for example. Unlike other auto classified services that require
the user to select from multiple pop-ups and check boxes, PorscheZone
classifieds offer a more familiar search box allowing the user to simply type
what they're looking for and retrieve relevant results."
"The web is no longer about aggregating massive amounts of unrelated
content, it's now about creating relevancy, increasing productivity," said
Romero. PorscheZone.com aggregates Porsche related content from all over the
web in one central, easy to use portal.
