Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease)
March 05, 2008 - Tempe, Ariz. — It’s no secret that the new generation of college students are always connected and have the resources to access information instantaneously. But until now, the Valley’s college community has had to search multiple outlets to find various businesses, restaurants and services. With the launch of CampusSpots.com, the nation’s most comprehensive, interactive online resource guide customized specifically for college campuses, students have all the information they could need at their fingertips.
In addition to finding where the closest laundromat, pharmacy or hair salon is around their campus, Arizona State University students are the first to experience CampusSpots.com newest feature, ‘The Spot’. ‘The Spot’ is the editorial section of the website and is run by student media teams; providing site visitors with the ultimate view of campus-life and activities straight from students.
‘The Spot’ will include a variety of information for the ASU college community—from restaurant reviews and profiles to a comprehensive list of Happy Hour places and prices. ‘The Spot’ will also feature articles about campus activities, concert promotions and reviews, dating advice and other topics that relate to the students. In addition to the online articles, the student media teams will be putting together bi-weekly video productions for ‘The Spot TV’.
“While the internet is a fantastic resource, it is broad and users can get lost in an ocean of information,” explains James MacDonald, President of CampusSpots.com. “We designed CampusSpots.com to allow the ASU college community to find exactly what they want within one site. The addition of ‘The Spot’ gives the students a voice in the search—when a recommendation comes straight from another student, it has far greater value.”
MacDonald, along with Vice President, Steve Sapot, saw a need in the college community for a website that was specifically designed for their campus—one that the students could trust and use on a daily basis. As a CampusSpots.com user, students can review over 3,000 local business listings, post free classified ads, keep up-to-date on the most current social activities, and search for housing around campus.
“CampusSpots.com provides our users with a sense of ease to complement their on-campus and off-campus living experience and we make it a point to satisfy the interests of the entire ASU community by providing them with the info that they are looking for,” says Sapot. “Our student media and marketing teams are the eyes and ears of the community and we are providing them a new vehicle to deliver their message and better serve the interests of our growing user base.”

Both James MacDonald and Steve Sapot are available for interviews, as well as select members of the student media and marketing teams.
