Our ZIP code and keyword searchable database allows business owners to search their immediate and regional areas to find the help they need. Each listing was supplied individually by the vendor and lists the contact information of an individual there who can help you.

Since 1997 Family Business Strategies (FBNews.net) has accumulated statistical evidence supporting our belief that the real winners in the battle for the Internet will be the established, privately held, family owned companies.

That is - if they can locate the resources to help them grow their online presence.

These business owners are looking for Web site designers, eCommerce solution providers, marketing professionals, Internet consultants, etc. with experience developing strategies for established mainstream businesses.

According to several industry, government and university studies there are over 8 million family owned companies located across North America, almost half of whom are located 40 or more miles away from one of the top 100 metropolitan areas. Over time they will all want to take advantage of the opportunities made possible by the Internet.

Business owners would rather do business with someone they know or who was referred by someone they trust. If that is not possible, they prefer to choose from providers located as physically close to them as possible.

And since studies show that most of us do 80% of our business with companies not more than 20 miles away - there is a huge gap (opportunity) to be filled by vendors wishing to reach out and serve this audience.

Companies providing Internet related products and services - should submit your information for a free listing here. Vendors interested in serving a wider audience, reaching out beyond their traditional marketing area should consider a listing in our Internet Resources Directory.
