Background Information

Writing love poetry is one of the most pervasive activities of the human mind; an attempt to give form to the formless, powerful feelings that accompany the emotion we call love. Emotion Promotions Co. has created the web site: http://www.lovepoetry.com (LovePoetry) with the “lover” in mind. As such, LovePoetry is attracting an immediate following that is increasing significantly every month.

LovePoetry was envisioned as a web site where anyone can post his or her poems to share with the world. This accommodating policy serves to encourage the site visitor to post his/her poems. The reasons a visitor would want to post his/her poems are varied. Chief among them is a desire to communicate with a loved one. A second reason would be the desire to “publish” a poem for the sake of the poem itself. Because the appeal of love poetry, at one time or another, is pervasive the saturation level for web site visitors is expected to be quite high. The LovePoetry domain name was chosen to lend itself to easily identifiable brand advertising.

The Advertising Opportunity:

Advertisers that market their products towards women should find that the LovePoetry web site offers significant advantages over untargeted “network” advertising. 80% of all the visitors to the web site are female, and 70% of the web site visitors are between the ages of 15-25. In this regard, advertising on LovePoetry will produce a highly targeted advertising audience of young females. Recent marketing demographics have shown that people visiting the Internet are highly educated and earn above the national average income. They represent a highly desirable market for any business.

The LovePoetry(.com) web site delivers 6,000,000 page impressions monthly. The site has 600,000 user sessions a month and the average dwell time is approximately 12 minutes per visit. The average LovePoetry visitor views 10 pages per visit. Studies show that if an Internet user views an ad, on average, 6 times they will be very likely to react to it. Since the average LovePoetry visitor views 10 pages per visit the LovePoetry advertiser has the opportunity to present their ad several times to each visitor.

PeopleAreTalking TM

“I just want to let you guys know that your site is one of the coolest site ever. I mean it's very unique and creative.”
“I must say that I really love your website. I mean even the URL address is just lovely itself.”
“I just wanted to thank the creators of this page for making a place where poets like myself who know we will never be pro's can put our work out for the world to see. And so that I can read what other people like me are writing about.”
"This is my favorite web site ......I love it....never take it away”
"This is the best web site ever, have spent many hours here and found such great enjoyment.. Keep the great poetry coming. Truly a wonderful site, the best!”

LovePoetry’s Effect on Peoples Lives:

Here are a few comments of how LovePoetry and its poems have helped change lives.

“I first began to get serious about my poetry when I first submitted my poetry to you. After I did, I entered a contest. I just recently found out that I am a semi-finalist in the American Northwest and they are going to get me published in an upcoming book called "The Mystical Night". Your site was the first place I went when I decided to start making my poetry public. I'm shooting for being a writer now. And I have just started my own website. Just wanted to say thanks.”
“A friend let me read this poem she found on the net. It just so happened that I felt this way about a guy I knew. He had no idea how I felt until I gave him this poem. That was over a year and a half ago, and now we are married and expecting our first baby! What a great poem!”

Feelings Change, My Friend
by Amylynn E.R. Schanbacher

                        I would really hate to say it,
                        But our friendship just can't last.
                        The remarkable times we shared together,
                        Have faded to the past.
                        I told you it would happen,
                        Our friendship was bound to end.
                        Although I know you care for me,
                        I cannot consider you a friend.
                        Please don't try to argue,
                        Just try to understand.
                        That time can change some people,
                        As the tide can change the sand.
                        Our friendship has been lovely,
                        But you see it has an end.
                        For now I fell in a different way,
                        I've fallen in love with you, my friend.

“I really liked your poem because my father and I don’t have a very good relationship. So when I read your poem it made think of how stupid I’ve been and I called my dad and told him that I loved him.”

never
by Meghan Colleen Moffett

                                   I never took your advice,
                                     -too headstrong to listen.
                                   I never tried my best,
                                     -too stupid to recognize.
                                   I never heard the truth,
                                     -too ignorant to believe.
                                   I never thought ahead,
                                     -too childish to know.
                                   I never wait to talk,
                                     -too emotional to control.
                                   I never say, "I love you",
                                     -too stubborn to admit...
                                       "I love you daddy."
