WASHINGTON and JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 4, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The National Federation of Independent Business, the nation's leading small business association, has entered into an exclusive partnership with Web.com (Nasdaq:WWWW), the leading provider of online marketing for small and medium-sized businesses. The alliance gives NFIB members access to Web.com's Web design and online marketing products that help small businesses succeed online.
"We are dedicated to helping small businesses own, operate and grow their businesses, and that means using the Internet as one of their tools," said Mark Garzone, NFIB's Senior Vice President, Marketing. "Web.com has both the experience and the expertise to provide the best and most comprehensive solutions available to our members, as the many Fortune 500 companies that choose to partner with Web.com can attest. Also, by choosing Web.com, our members will gain the added benefit of working with only one company, instead of many, to have their online marketing needs addressed."
Web.com will provide NFIB members with a complete online marketing solution that incorporates professional design, marketing and search engine promotion capabilities—including enhanced listings in Google™ Maps, top Internet yellow pages and local search engine directories—a mobile website and a performance scorecard that provides site traffic updates in real time. Members will also have access to ongoing support from Web.com's team of design and online marketing experts.
"With more people using the Internet, a website is often the first impression customers will have of a business, especially when they are not an established brand," said David Brown, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Web.com. "When you're competing for mindshare in the marketplace, just having a website isn't enough. Small businesses need websites that are properly designed, optimized, marketed and maintained. Our core competency is to provide that assistance to small businesses effectively, efficiently and affordably. We appreciate the opportunity to work with NFIB, the voice of America's small businesses, and look forward to helping NFIB members succeed."
