Tough day, people moved over to the NASDAQ for today...***TLTG** news
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 1999--Since launching its new
web portal, teltran.com, Teltran International (OTC BB:TLTG) has seen
a very substantial increase in the number of users visiting the site.
More importantly, the number of daily hits has been steadily
progressing since the day the portal opened. In fact, the largest
number of visitors in a single day occurred on Friday, Feb. 19, when
the site received over 23,000 total hits.
Overall, total hits for the site during the two-week period
ending Feb. 21 exceeded 100,000 with over 46,700 people visiting
teltran.com Feb. 17-19 alone. Perhaps the most telling fact is that
more than 5000 people have clicked the "make teltran.com my home page"
feature which will ensure repeat visits.
Teltran is also pleased to report that users have shown a very
enthusiastic response to teltran.com's virtual shopping mall by
purchasing products and services on-line. In addition to offering
users the ability to access all of their on-line shopping needs
without leaving the teltran.com web site, Teltran also receives a
percentage of all sales made as a result of purchasing the product or
service through a link on teltran.com.
"We are extremely encouraged by the activity that the web site
has generated," said Byron Lerner, president & CEO of Teltran. "People
are not only looking at the site, but they are using it to make
purchases and returning to it as well. In the future we fully intend
to explore additional e-commerce and advertising opportunities through
teltran.com and, in response to requests from users, teltran.com will
be adding many new options in the near future. The financial sector is
of particular interest to teltran.com and our users and will be
expanded as a featured area of coverage soon."
