Web Hosting Provider Sponsors St. Patrick's Day Gynecological Visit
March 17, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider Globat.com (http://www.globat.com) has announced it is sponsoring a visit to a gynecologist on St. Patrick's Day. Alongside promoting the company, the move is intended to raise awareness of cervical cancer prevention issues and will feature eBay celebrity, Shimmer.
Shimmer, who has offered a range of unique promotional services on eBay in the past, will be taken to a gynecologist in a limo where she will undergo a gynecological examination. Throughout the day Shimmer will be highlighting cancer prevention while providing plugs for Globat.com. During her visit to the doctor, she will be wearing a temporary Globat.com logo tattoo on her chest after which she will hand out St. Patrick's Day-themed Globat.com t-shirts, hats, stickers and leaflets which promote women over 18 to getting tested for cancer on a regular basis.
"A pap test is a screening procedure where an OB/GYN looks for signs that might lead to cervical cancer. It is up to 90% accurate and still is the best way to prevent certain types of cervical cancer," explained Ben R. Neumann, President and CEO of Globat.com. "Shimmer is a really exciting woman who loves life and to get involved with these sorts of promotions. She embodies all of the qualities we like to associate with Globat.com and DefyingGravity.com from her eagerness and enthusiasm to her passion for trying new things. She's shown she has a lot of skill in unique promotions and we're glad to have her involved with us."
Globat’s visit to a gynecologist is the latest in a string of offbeat promotional events that have so far including purchasing an antique fly on eBay, sponsoring an MBA student’s term paper and sponsoring the birth of a child.
