how we generate publicity

Identity client Epcon Communities was recently featured on multiple CNBC news broadcasts throughout the day. Nanette Overly, spokesperson for Epcon Communities was featured prominently in four pieces that aired from 8 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon.

CNBC was examining the current housing market, in light of a recent jobs report that showed construction jobs being added to the economy. This, like Epcon Communities, defies the current conventional wisdom that the housing market's bubble has burst. What Epcon Communities is finding is that, while single home sales are cooling in places, many markets are still experiencing growth, while the condominium market has remained strong generally, and is expected to continue to do so. This, Nanette explains, is due in part to the fact that the nation's largest single demographic -- the Baby Boomers -- are moving out of their houses and looking for the more maintenance-free lifestyle that condo living has to offer.

Dublin, Ohio-based Epcon Communities is one of the leading developers and franchise operators of condominium developments in the United States. Since its founding in 1986, Epcon Communities and its franchise partners have developed more than 25,000 homes in 28 states. Epcon Communities expects to have 160 franchisees in 33 states by the end of 2006. Epcon Communities' long-term goal is to expand to all 50 states and Canada.
