Apache Advertising & Design Offers Prize to an Equine Non-Profit, a $2000 Custom Website.

Online, September 18, 2009 (Newswire.com) - With the economy in deep recession, non-profit and charitable groups across the country have struggled to make ends meet. The horse community has been especially hard hit, as additional horses are abandoned, fewer wild or rehabilitated horses are adopted, and volunteers and donors struggle to maintain a good quality of life for their equine friends and offer vital community services, like therapeutic riding for children and adults with special needs.

In the spirit of giving back, to a community that gives so much, Apache Advertising & Design Services wants to do their part to support the charitable equine community. They are holding an on-line contest for non-profit equine organizations and the winner will be given a professionally designed custom website valued at over $2000. The contest is ongoing, until November 15th, when on-line readers of the blog will have the chance to pick a winner. To suggest a worthy organization, go to www.apacheadvertising.com and follow the link to the Equestrian Non-Profit Website Giveaway.

Apache Advertising specializes in marketing and design services to the equine community, from equine products, to horse trailers, stallion/breeding services, and more. Through their close association with horse lovers all across the country, they know that many worthy non-profit equine groups, like horse rescue and therapeutic riding schools, operate on little more than a shoe string, surviving primarily through the love and dedication of their volunteers. There simply isn't room in the budget for professional communications services, like custom websites.

A quality website allows organizations to establish a first class presence on the web, reach a new and wider audience, communicate quickly and effectively with members, and raise funds on-line. It can be a vital key in promoting and polishing their message, leading to future growth. For organizations that already have a suitable website, Apache will substitute search engine optimization, or other design and marketing services that may be needed, equal to the value of the website prize.

Matt Hoffpauir, President of Apache says, "The growth of equine charities in the past decade has just been explosive. There are so many people doing good things, necessary things, to save horses and make their lives better along with our own, I wanted to do my small part. And then I thought, a lot of these people need professional communications and marketing, like a really great website, but they just can't afford it. What if I contribute one for free? The idea of the contest seemed like a good way to learn about who was out there. Letting the readers vote just seemed the best approach to picking the winner. We are really excited about our opportunity to help."
