New Federal Guidelines a Boon to Women-Owned Small Businesses
E-Marketing Leader Web.com Working to Build on Exciting Gains
(firmenpresse) - JACKSONVILLE, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 11/10/15 -- Whether in business or in life, going against the grain is often a beneficial attribute. Going against the grain implies keen insight into which direction the grain was going in the first place. When the late Steve Jobs spoke of anticipating peoples'' needs before they knew it themselves, he was acting on this higher level of thinking.
Fortunately, trendsetting isn''t confined to Apple Inc. or its founder. Earlier this month, two announcements demonstrated successful against-the-grain-thinking from both the federal government and small businesses, particularly those owned by women.
Last week the Small Business Administration announced a designed to help the organization achieve its goal of awarding 5 percent of its annual loans to women-owned small businesses. While the bulk of such loans are still awarded to men-owned businesses, the revised guidelines are a powerful reminder of just how important women-owned small businesses are to the nation''s economic health.
Combined with additional data that suggests women-owned businesses are growing at of men-owned businesses, it''s clear a new trend is emerging. What''s also clear is the need for these businesses to continue the trendsetting they started in order to stand out and thrive.
One of the most effective ways to achieve that aim today is by harnessing the marketing and communication tools of the Web. That''s why Web.com, a leading provider of Internet services and , with more than 30 years combined experience, is the go-to resource for women-owned small businesses (and businesses of all kinds) as they increasingly launch or expand their online presence.
"The SBA and the encouraging small-business news could not have come at a better time as it relates to our efforts," said David Brown, Web.com''s chairman and CEO. "It is very telling to see that women business owners continue to recognize the need for a strong internet presence as a vital component to their businesses'' success in 2016 and beyond, but they don''t have the confidence in their ability to develop and maintain these areas. As our recent survey of women business owners (WBO) tells us, finding the right tool or partner will be the key ingredient to WBOs'' success and will help them grow their customer base and maintain strong relationships with existing customers."
Brown adds, "Unfortunately many don''t yet have confidence in their ability to develop and maintain these areas. As our recent survey of women business owners (WBO) tells us, finding the right tool or partner will be the key ingredient to WBOs'' success and will help them grow their customer base and maintain strong relationships with existing customers."

Increasingly, online also means on the go. With U.S. reaching its limits, brand engagement is ubiquitous on multiple screens. As speed and mobile Web reliability increase -- Chattanooga, Tennessee is the first U.S. city to boast 10-gigabyte -- capitalizing on this tool is a must.
"At 20 years old, the commercialized Internet is still very much in its youth," Brown added. "But with Web.com and its formidable resources at your brand''s side, your business has a chance to continue to grow and drive your success. That''s a trend we can all embrace."
