Web.com, a leading provider of Internet services and online marketing solutions for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), will host a free, interactive Small Business Forum designed to help Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex small business owners learn how to be successful on the Internet. The forum takes place on Thursday, May 16, 2013 from 7:30 to 10:00 a.m. CST at the Irving Convention Center.
Dallas-based small business owner and well-known PGA TOUR/Champions Tour golfer D.A. Weibring will open the educational session by sharing details of his challenges, successes and online efforts in building his golf course design and management company. Web.com executive vice president and chief marketing officer Jason Teichman will then share information and tools to help small business owners increase visibility and optimize marketing efforts online.
“We’re excited to have an event focused on what really works with marketing online so that small businesses throughout the metroplex can harness the power of Internet to succeed,” said Teichman. “We have best practices from working with millions of business owners every day who are addressing real-world challenges of marketing online and through social channels. As with other forums we’ve hosted recently across the U.S., there will be a dynamic dialogue surrounding a range of key, timely topics that small businesses face with this increasingly important digital opportunity.”
Topics and Q&A sessions at the Small Business Forum focus on ways small business owners can achieve a successful Internet presence, including the elements of a great website, how to determine if your website is working for you, increasing traffic to your website and your business, and de-mystifying how to efficiently market on Google, Facebook and Twitter.
“As a small business owner that understands the value of having an online presence, I applaud Web.com for bringing much needed information to small business owners as they face the ever-expanding challenge of how to successfully market themselves online,” said Weibring. “My history as a Tour player and father of current Web.com Tour player, Matt Weibring, makes it easy to recognize the commitment Web.com has shown to the game of golf and to giving back to communities in which it is involved through events like the Small Business Forum.”
The Web.com Small Business Forum takes place in conjunction with the HP Byron Nelson Championship, which will be played May 13 – 19 at TPC Four Seasons Resort and Club Las Colinas. As part of its recently announced agreement with the PGA TOUR, Web.com developed the Web.com Small Business Forum as a way to bring additional benefit to communities where PGA and Web.com Tour events are held.
