Welcome to the Media Room.

This area is under continual development as we build a library of press releases, small-business stories and information of value to those who report the stories. Also, check out our new ViewPoints section for editorials from ShopTalk consultant Gene Fairbrother. These editorials will provide useful information and facts along with an opinion about how those facts affect the small business world.

Please come back -- and let us know how we can help.
