SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - July 1, 2013 - Web.com, a leading provider of Internet services and online marketing solutions for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), will host a free Small Business Forum designed to help Salt Lake City small business owners learn how to successfully increase visibility and market themselves online. The Small Business Forum will take place on Thursday, July 11, 2013, from 8:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. MDT at South Towne Exposition Center in Sandy.
Jeff Robbins, Utah Sports Commission President and CEO, and Mayor Tom Dolan of Sandy, will open the educational session, and then Web.com Vice President of Marketing Debbi Lechner will 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 when marketing online so that small business owners in Salt Lake City can harness the power of the Internet to succeed," said Lechner. "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 business owners face when tackling this increasingly important digital opportunity."
Topics and content 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 their website is working for them, increasing traffic to their website and business, and decoding how to efficiently market on Google, Facebook and Twitter.
"Small business is an essential piece of America's economy," said Dolan. "Now, more than ever, it's important for small businesses to equip themselves with the tools they need to find success, and I'm happy to support an organization that helps small business owners do just that in Web.com."
The Web.com Small Business Forum takes place in conjunction with the Utah Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission, which will be played Thursday, July 11, 2013 - Sunday, July 14, 2013, at the Willow Creek Country Club. As part of its recently announced agreement with the PGA TOUR, Web.com developed the Web.com Small Business Forum as a benefit to small business owners in communities where events are held.
"We're thrilled to welcome the Web.com Tour to Salt Lake City again and are excited to participate in something that gives back to local business," said Robbins. "Salt Lake City remains a destination for top-tier sporting events, and the Web.com Tour is evidence of that."
