Business Editors

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 2, 2003

Arizona Business Online (www.AZBonline.com), the state's fastest-growing online business directory, today announced the signing of a promotional agreement with the Glendale Chamber of Commerce. Details of the alliance include a Premier Member listing for the chamber as well as an advertising "hot spot" in the directory. In exchange, Arizona Business Online will receive multiple advertising and promotional events through the Glendale organization.

"We are excited about our new relationship with AZBonline because this is another benefit we can offer to our members that will give them more exposure and drive new customers to their front door," said Don Rinehart, Glendale Chamber of Commerce president. "In addition, we know this relationship will help us recruit new members to the Glendale Chamber of Commerce and increase our visibility in the West Valley."

"We are currently making a huge push toward working with other non-profit 'dot-orgs' in Arizona. This program has taken off, and we are excited to announce that the Glendale Chamber of Commerce has become the first chamber to jump on-board with our company," said Vince Cavale, director of business development at Arizona Business Online. "We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with them and are confident many other chambers will soon follow their lead."

Recent growth by the city of Glendale has been highlighted by the ongoing construction of a new arena for the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes and a stadium for the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL. The resulting surge in publicity for the chamber will now be complemented by the exposure generated as a member of one of the largest online business directories in the state. As a Premier Member, the Glendale Chamber of Commerce can take advantage of priority placement in directory listings; advertising options; access to event calendars, message boards and employment classifieds; as well as the benefit of being a preferred associate for AZB business referrals.
