NetBooks® Inc. and Duct Tape Marketing Partner to Build Proven Marketing System and Expert Advice into NetBooks Software

Rohnert Park, Calif., November 28 – NetBooks Inc, whose mission is to revolutionize the way small businesses are managed, (www.netbooks.com) has partnered with Duct Tape Marketing (www.ducttapemarketing.com), the world's most effective small business marketing system. They are collaborating to bring the expertise of John Jantsch and his team of marketing coaches to small businesses, using the NetBooks product itself.

"Most small business owners don't have a background in marketing, or the budget to keep a marketing pro on staff. Yet effective marketing is incredibly important to the growth of the business," said Ridgely Evers, NetBooks CEO and Founder, and a small business owner for more than 30 years. "With this partnership, we're combining the rich business data captured in the NetBooks system with the marketing know-how of the Duct Tape Marketing Coaches, for the benefit of small businesses everywhere."

NetBooks gives small businesses a single, integrated system for managing their sales, marketing, inventory, production and bookkeeping. The new partnership combines the comprehensive business and customer data captured in NetBooks with the proven Duct Tape Marketing system and network of coaches. Now even the smallest companies have access to affordable marketing expertise powered by real-time information on every aspect of the business.

"Marketers live on data. And where is the data in a small business? It's all over...unless they're using NetBooks," said Jon Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing - The World's Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guide and creator of the Duct Tape Marketing system and the Duct Tape Marketing Authorized Coach Network. "We can now apply a proven system and the knowledge of our coaches using a wealth of the customer's own business information. The owner and coach can work together to make informed marketing decisions any time, even from thousands of miles apart. Even better, they can track the actual results – the impact on sales and profits. That's common for big businesses, but for small businesses, it's a breakthrough."

Every NetBooks Customer Gets Free Login for Their Duct Tape Marketing Coach
NetBooks customers now receive a free log-in for their Duct Tape Marketing coach, which lets business owners and their marketing advisors share a common, real-time view of customer information, marketing campaigns and sales results.

The Duct Tape Marketing Coaches can help their clients get maximum benefit out of the marketing and sales tools built into the NetBooks product, including a full integration with VerticalResponse's email marketing and direct mail services. Coaches can help customers plan, execute and evaluate marketing campaigns, and tie the results directly to bottom-line performance. With a shared view of customer information, product pricing and descriptions, account activity, and sales activity, coaches and business owners can work together to create the most effective campaigns possible.

"All parties in this deal are fully dedicated to giving small businesses what they need to get the maximum results out of their email marketing efforts, with the least amount of headache," said Janine Popick, CEO and founder of VerticalResponse." They've got other things to focus on – running their business – so with our tools, Duct Tape Marketing's expertise, and NetBooks' platform, marketing can show a great return on little investment."
