Birmingham, MI – Mar. 24, 2007 – If you want to grow a successful eBay business quickly and cost-effectively, check out StartupNation’s new blog, “E-mail Marketing Tips and Advice,” by Ryan Allis, CEO and co-founder of Broadwick Corp.

Allis began his entrepreneurial career at age 11 by helping senior citizens learn computer skills. A few years later, with partner Aaron Houghton, he co-founded Broadwick and launched IntelliContact, now the leading on-demand e-mail marketing service used by more than 9,000 customers nationwide. Allis recently was named one of Business Week’s Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25, and his book, Zero to One Million: How to Build a Company to $1 Million in Sales, describes the journey from business inception to success.

“For Allis, the essence of a successful business is relationship-building,” says Rich Sloan, StartupNation co-founder. “Through his new blog, he will share insights on providing top-level service and using e-mail to help make the difference between a one-time sale and a lifelong customer. It’s all part of our growing roster of thought-leading bloggers at StartupNation.com”
