Globat.com Sponsors St. Patrick's Day Gynecological Visit
LOS ANGELES, March 15, 2006 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Los Angeles-based Globat.com(R), the world-leader in Performance Web Hosting(TM), in a very unique effort to raise awareness to cervical cancer prevention, today announced the world's first sponsorship of a gynecological visit for Shimmer, a long-time eBay celebrity from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Shimmer will be riding to and from her gynecologist in a limo, will undergo a gynecological exam and will be promoting Globat.com and cancer prevention throughout the day.
Shimmer is not new to extreme marketing, as she has offered a range of unique promotional services on eBay in the past, attracting interest from customers such as Golden Palace Casino, and now Globat.com. During her visit to the doctor, she will be wearing a temporary tattoo of the Globat.com logo on her chest, and will then hit the clubs handing out St. Patrick's Day-themed Globat.com t-shirts, hats and stickers and, of course, promoting the necessity for women over 18 to get tested frequently.
"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," said 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.com is launching a wave of unique sponsorships and events such as a sponsored birth, and a tattooed human billboard under the banner of "Defying Gravity," with the ultimate goal to launch at least one such special event in each of the 50 states.
