                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Lanham, MD (PRWEB) December 10, 2008 -- Vocus, Inc., (NASDAQ: VOCS) a leading provider of on-demand software for public relations management, today announced that Armacost Antiques Shows, a nationally known promoter and producer of fine antiques shows, has selected Vocus&#039; Small Business Edition (SBE) to promote its business. Using Vocus SBE, Armacost will be able to drive traffic to their website and help create a renewed interest in the antique business. 



&quot;As a company, we&#039;re at a juncture where it&#039;s time to sharpen our media outreach activities and try to replicate the sort of intensive PR effort you&#039;d associate only with large companies with vast resources,&quot; said Bob James of Armacost Antiques Shows. &quot;In the past, we&#039;ve depended on methods to get our message out that proved unsatisfactory given the high stakes and the level of effort demanded.&quot;  

James continued, &quot;Now, Vocus&#039; <a href="http://www.vocus.com/content/prsmallbusiness.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="small business public relations">small business public relations</a> software has enabled us to grab the media&#039;s attention in ways we simply couldn&#039;t in the past.  It&#039;s put us on the path to creating a solid PR foundation for our brand.&quot;  

Armacost Antiques Shows provide distinctive and profitable venues for dealers, plus opportunities for antiques lovers to buy with an assurance of quality and authenticity. Its nonprofit sponsors help generate enthusiasm for antiques, while delivering much-needed financial support for their communities. In recent years, antique collecting has waned and the downturn has noticeably affected antiques shows.  

&quot;If our shows are to remain strong sales events in coming years, we need to attract new generations of buyers to the world of antiques, requiring a sustained, national public relations effort that precision-targets the media with regular frequency.  Without a tool like Vocus SBE, we couldn&#039;t begin to run an effective national campaign,&quot; said Bob James of Armacost Antiques Shows.

Using Vocus, Malibu Boats has been able to not only increase its exposure in both traditional and online media but to automatically <a href="http://www.vocus.com/content/prnewsdemand.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="track and monitor">track and monitor</a> its coverage to assess its public relations impact.  



&quot;The Malibu marketing department is a skeleton crew and needs to be as efficient as possible. When we realized the PR processes were taking too long and not giving us the opportunity to quantify results, we began looking for a new solution,&quot; said Amy Mauzy, public relations manager at Malibu Boats. &quot;We thought there was no way to solve the problem until we discovered Vocus and found exactly what we were looking for in a <a href="http://www.vocus.com/content/livedemo.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="PR solution">PR solution</a>.&quot;

Mauzy continued, &quot;Before Vocus, we were unaware of half of what was being printed about Malibu Boats. Now, Vocus&#039; news monitoring automatically sends regular alerts as stories appear on the company, including articles in blogs and online publications. Without Vocus, not only would we probably not be getting as much attention in the media, even if were, we definitely would not know about it!&quot;

Malibu Boats is a manufacturer of quality boats. Since its inception in 1982, the company has been dedicated to building the best boats possible and having fun doing it. The company recently launched a campaign surrounding its brand new Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V. With Vocus&#039; PR management software and its PRWeb online press release distribution platform, the company received an amazing media response. 

&quot;Through Vocus&#039; PRWeb, we released a social media press release about the new Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V from Malibu. As a result of our campaign, we have been featured on just about every automotive related blog as well as classic and performance car sites. We also generated coverage in some of the biggest industry magazines including Popular Mechanics and Hot Rod and created consumer buzz about the Corvette boat that is still going on.We are seeing the Vocus benefit directly in our sales, plain and simple,&quot; said Mauzy. 

Mauzy continued, &quot;Vocus is the conduit to our electricity. We have an awesome company and an even more impressive product, but if no one ever hears about us we become the tree falling in the forest. Thanks to Vocus we are creating a loud thundering roar in the media and the Malibu Boats brand is getting the kind of amazing attention it deserves.&quot;  

About Malibu Boats
Since Malibu&#039;s inception in 1982 President/CEO Robert Alkema&#039;s mission has been very simple even if the evolution of design and engineering has become increasingly complex. &quot;Build the best boat possible. Enjoy your workplace. Give Malibu owners the best... To read the press release in full goto http://www.prweb.com/releases/vocus/malibuboats/prweb627911.htm]]></content:encoded>

                        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[LANHAM, MD (PRWEB) January 18, 2008 - <a href="http://www.vocus.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Vocus, Inc.">Vocus, Inc.</a>, (NASDAQ: VOCS) a leading provider of on-demand software for <a href="http://www.vocus.com/content/publicrelations.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="public relations management">public relations management</a>, today announced that <a href="http://www.malibuboats.com/" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Malibu Boats">Malibu Boats</a>, a  manufacturer of quality boats and the team responsible for the new Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V, has selected Vocus&#039; PR software to manage its public relations activities. Using Vocus, Malibu Boats has been able to not only increase its exposure in both traditional and online media but to automatically <a href="http://www.vocus.com/content/prnewsdemand.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="track and monitor">track and monitor</a> its coverage to assess its public relations impact.  



&quot;The Malibu marketing department is a skeleton crew and needs to be as efficient as possible. When we realized the PR processes were taking too long and not giving us the opportunity to quantify results, we began looking for a new solution,&quot; said Amy Mauzy, public relations manager at Malibu Boats. &quot;We thought there was no way to solve the problem until we discovered Vocus and found exactly what we were looking for in a <a href="http://www.vocus.com/content/livedemo.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="PR solution">PR solution</a>.&quot;

Mauzy continued, &quot;Before Vocus, we were unaware of half of what was being printed about Malibu Boats. Now, Vocus&#039; news monitoring automatically sends regular alerts as stories appear on the company, including articles in blogs and online publications. Without Vocus, not only would we probably not be getting as much attention in the media, even if were, we definitely would not know about it!&quot;

Malibu Boats is a manufacturer of quality boats. Since its inception in 1982, the company has been dedicated to building the best boats possible and having fun doing it. The company recently launched a campaign surrounding its brand new Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V. With Vocus&#039; PR management software and its PRWeb online press release distribution platform, the company received an amazing media response. 

&quot;Through Vocus&#039; PRWeb, we released a social media press release about the new Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V from Malibu. As a result of our campaign, we have been featured on just about every automotive related blog as well as classic and performance car sites. We also generated coverage in some of the biggest industry magazines including Popular Mechanics and Hot Rod and created consumer buzz about the Corvette boat that is still going on.We are seeing the Vocus benefit directly in our sales, plain and simple,&quot; said Mauzy. 

Mauzy continued, &quot;Vocus is the conduit to our electricity. We have an awesome company and an even more impressive product, but if no one ever hears about us we become the tree falling in the forest. Thanks to Vocus we are creating a loud thundering roar in the media and the Malibu Boats brand is getting the kind of amazing attention it deserves.&quot;  

About Malibu Boats
Since Malibu&#039;s inception in 1982 President/CEO Robert Alkema&#039;s mission has been very simple even if the evolution of design and engineering has become increasingly complex. &quot;Build the best boat possible.
