Global Auction Guide Media Group Forms Strategic Partnership with Kansas's Grass and Grain

August 18th, 2005

Portage la Prairie MB - Manhattan KS -The Global Auction Guide Media Group announces the launch of a strategic partnership with leading farm newspaper Grass and Grain of Manhattan Kansas.

"The ability to combine the best of Internet and print advertising is what sets Global apart from any other Internet advertiser " says Global Auction Guide Media Group President Dwayne Leslie. "Kansas is a very auction oriented marketplace, and joining forces with a long time leader in print auction advertising allows us to expand further into the Midwest."

"We were very careful before moving any of our content online." says Grass and Grain General Manager Tom Carlin. "Rather than simply putting our print ads online and trying to attract traffic away from the websites that auctioneers have already developed on their own, we wanted to provide them with a service that was much more than a simple online ad. Working with Global gives www.grassandgrain.com features that are unavailable on any other auction site, and allows us to add value to our current auction advertisers. Being the local access point for our auctioneers to reach across the country is a great service to provide to them, and having hundreds of auctions outside our regular territory available on our website is a great service to provide our readers.

Leslie adds "Auctioneers who are comfortable with the Internet are able to administrate their own information so that they don't have to depend on anyone to do it for them. " Being able to easily add unlimited photos with slideshows, unlimited text, and most importantly, unlimited sales for a flat annual fee of 360.00 will greatly help to reduce auctioneers Internet costs and hassle, while increasing their local and national coverage exponentially.

Global Auction Guide Media Group first began in 2001 with the launch of Farm Auction Guide.com. This quickly grew into the largest farm advertising website on the Internet. Global Auction Guide's syndication program has for many years worked with 50 other leading newspapers, radio networks, and portal websites. The ability to work with traditional medias to gives auctioneers an unprecedented level of exposure to potential bidders for very economical cost is the cornerstone of Global's success. Syndication partners benefit by providing cutting edge online features to their regular auction advertisers . Antiques, Real Estate, and Industrial are also featured prominently across our network.

Global Auction Guide Media Group is the leading auction advertising network on the Internet with over 17,000 auctions listed in the past 5 years from over 300 of the most progressive auctioneers on the continent.
