SBTV.com and Gift & Home Channel Join Forces to Help Small Retailers

 

St. Louis, MO/ New York, NY (November 26, 2008) – At a time when small business in America is looking to position itself to survive turbulent times, two internet sites are working together to provide free, convenient access to a wealth of expert resources focused specifically on the needs of small businesses in the retail market.

  

The overall vision is to create greater awareness among small business owners of the existence of SBTV.com and Gift & Home Channel (GHC), both dedicated to providing quality video content on how to run and grow their businesses.  SBTV.com and Gift & Home Channel will share video content and cross promote their complementary resources.  Among other things, SBTV.com provides content on issues important to women business owners.  GHC has a vast offering of “how to” content for independent retailers.  

 

“It’s exciting to be working with a partner who, like us, is focused on one of the most important business segments in America, small businesses.  Retail, is an industry that employs more than 23 million people, that’s one in five Americans and handles consumer spending worth 4.1 trillion dollars, and as such, is an important business segment to all Americans.  SBTV.com and Gift & Home Channel have a very sharp focus on the growth and success of small businesses, and both internet sites provide valuable insight 24/7”, said Leslie Nathan Street, President of Gift & Home Channel.

 

In addition to links on SBTV.com to GHC’s expert content such Visual Merchandising 101, Creating a Frequent Buyers Program and Success Advice for New Stores, Leslie Nathan-Street has become an SBTV.com “Featured Advisor,” presenting  useful “how to” video content and a special Gift & Home Channel landing page.
