Among the features on this interactive Web site is the capability for users to search specific titles of government officials or select titles on a geographic basis. The Web site is being constructed by Mountain Media, Saratoga Springs, NY, and features a variety of interactive features to assure that all of the directory's 20,000-plus entries are current. As with the hard copy version of the directory, advertising opportunities will be available. For example, each issue of ESR carries a special advertiser supplement. If an advertiser buys an ad in the special section they are invited to submit a 300-400 word article highlighting their activities in the particular sector that's being featured.
Photos are also welcome.
Besides the usual distribution in the monthly issues of Empire State Report, these sections are also printed as stand alones for bonus distribution at conferences and trade shows. In addition, participating advertisers are provided with their own supply of the sections to use as handouts or for other promotional purposes.
