There are two simple reasons why people have flocked to VerticalResponse to help them grow their businesses for over 5 years:* A superior product that’s easy to use and Superior customer support
From the very beginning we decided that if you actually pick up the phone when a customer calls, call them back, or send them a real live email (not one generated by a robot), you’ll have a customer for life. Well, we think we did it.

At VerticalResponse we work hard to offer online tools that enable anyone regardless of technical expertise to get up and running in minutes with their email and direct mail campaigns. Self-service isn’t just for the gas pump anymore, it’s the way businesses need to use the Internet to help them grow.

Tens of thousands of companies like Law.com, Splendora, and Maverick’s Surf Ventures use VerticalResponse on a regular basis to help them grow - who do you use?

VerticalResponse is headquartered in the sunny part of San Francisco, California, just three blocks from AT&T Park.

MaraStar Communications produces and distributes animated software products designed to train, motivate and communicate with employees. These short, animated cartoons provide employers with a means of communicating in a fun and effective way that ensures the message is not only heard, but retained. The firm was founded, and is owned by two highly successful entrepreneurial managers, Raymond J. Hansell and Marysue Lucci. Prior to starting MaraStar in 1999, the team built one of America's largest teleservices firms, RMH Teleservices. RMH was venture-funded and then taken public in 1990 (RMHT, NASDAQ). Not content to rest on the laurels of their accomplishments, Ray and Marysue sought new challenges in corporate communications. They wanted to create an organization that would help other organizations train and motivate their employees. They then applied their managerial talents to create an organization that would address core problems of employee performance, productivity improvement, motivation, and turnover reduction in a light and humorous manner.

To accomplish their goals, the founders conducted extensive market research and assembled a top-flight crew of animators, cartoonists, training designers, and product developers to bring their vision to life. Based on the research results, MaraStar developed its flagship line of products, ToonUps and StarGrams.

Today MaraStar Communications is helping hundreds of organizations train, motivate and communicate with their employees. Click on an image below to learn more about how our products are being used in business today!
