BUFFALO, New York, January 9, 2006 - - Software upgrades in its exclusive Stet Net Admin platform and the resultant increased usability and productivity for its national clients allowed Buffalo, NY-based Rare Earth Interactive Design to increase its client base by a company record 30% in 2005 versus 2004, as it was announced today by Rare Earth Interactive Design’s President Craig C. Chapman.

As a result of the firm’s unprecedented growth, the eBusiness services and consulting group added nine staffers in 2005 primarily in the internet technology and sales and marketing departments.  The increase in capacity was the direct result of the addition of new clients and increased engagements with some of Rare Earth Interactive’s current clients.

“Software will get you in the door with many prospects but our successes in getting new deals and expanding our engagements with existing clients is a direct result of the extraordinary talents of our staff,” Mr. Chapman said. He continued, “The internet is a tool for increasing sales through e-commerce, or creating brand awareness through design and interactivity. However, its impact can be a waste of resources, unless you have experienced technologists and creative professionals who know how to harness the internet’s power and funnel it into the overall objectives of the client.”

Some of the clients Rare Earth has recently welcomed include Taiyo Birdair, Elixsure, Kerasal and the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors.
