Put Your Business in the Spotlight at JumpUp.com
Would you like to get your business profiled on the home page of a major business site?
JumpUp.com has a new feature called the New Business Spotlight, appearing on its home page.
You can submit a Spotlight application for your business. It could be an excellent way to get free online visibility for your business.
The New Business Spotlight section profiles a real business. Unlike so many awards that focus on businesses which are firmly established or have reached certain revenue levels, this New Business Spotlight encourages participation from very new startups, in addition to established businesses.
In other words, your business can be a startup and have an equal opportunity to appear on the home page.
I have been asked by Intuit, which is behind JumpUp, to be the judge to pick out the businesses that will be spotlighted on the home page in the future.
You have until November 15, 2006 to submit your New Business Spotlight application. This one-page flyer gives additional information about what’s involved (PDF).
Go ahead, it’s easy — complete the application form to spotlight your business on JumpUp.com.
Thanks for sharing the site.
My pleasure, David. I hope this means you are submitting your business.

I appreciate your generosity in sharing this web site, Anita. Submitting my business will be on my “to-do” list, and I’ll be passing this information along to other colleagues. Thanks so much.

This is an excellent and original marketing idea. I love the fact that a startup can have equal opportunity as well – they need all the help they can get.

Congrats – that sounds like fun and I’m sure you will receive all kinds of interesting applications. I’ll be curious to see who you choose!
[...] Back in October and November 2006, the JumpUp.com site put out a call for entries to tell your story and be profiled in a New Business Spotlight. Ganesh, Tim and Gina all applied via Small Business Trends, and I assisted Intuit in judging the entries. I was struck by the fact that each of these business owners faced challenges that were not exotic or all that unusual. Rather, they are the kind of common-yet-difficult challenges that other business owners have to deal with all the time. I felt the experiences of Ganesh, Tim and Gina would be inspiring. [...]
