The Day Newspaper In Connecticut Interviews Ais Media Inc. On The Importance Of Restaurants Implementing Internet Marketing And Maintaining A Professional Web Presence

(Tuesday, September 11, 2007) - AIS Media CEO, Thomas Harpointner, was interviewed by The Day Newspaper in Connecticut, to discuss the importance of restaurants implementing the Internet as their prominent marketing tool. Results from AIS Media's 2007 National Restaurant Consumer Internet Usage Survey were highlighted throughout the article. His statements included:

Results of a national survey by AIS Media, an Atlanta-based Internet consulting firm, show that 89 percent of the more than 2,500 consumers who answered an e-mail questionnaire said they research a restaurant online before visiting it. Of those, 57 percent said they check out the restaurant's own Web site.

In companion polling of nearly 6,000 U.S. restaurants, 280 of which responded, AIS found that 89 percent maintain Web sites.
Thomas Harpointner, AIS Media's chief executive officer, says he was surprised at how high that last percentage was given that so many restaurant Web sites are rudimentary and hard to find via Internet search engines.
