Sage Software Debuts New Marketing Capability for Accountants' Network Members

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - January 22, 2008) - Sage Software today announced a new Accountants' Network program benefit, aimed at helping firms to better market their services to potential and existing clients online, through discounts on Search Engine Optimization. This is just the latest improvement to the Accountants' Network in the U.S., unveiled today from the "Winning is Everything" conference, held today and tomorrow at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Sage Software has partnered with Search Optimizers for search engine optimization, which will enable Accountants' Network members to generate more leads to their Web sites. Through the terms of the program, Accountants' Network members will receive a free SEO evaluation, valued at more than $250, and 15% off start-up fees, so that they can get started quickly, easily, and save money in the process.

"Most accountants are busy doing what they do best: consulting with clients, rather than spending time on marketing activities. At the same time, marketing is essential to a firm's success," said Heather Scarpero, director, Sage Software Accountants Network, US. "Search Engine Optimization is a great way for accountants to market their services, allowing the Web to go to work for them generating leads for their Web sites. This is particularly helpful going into busy season, as their time becomes even scarcer."
