WORLD WIDE WEB COMMUNICATIONS CHOSEN BY GOOGLE AS “FAVORITE PLACE” IN NEW MARKETING PROGRAM

CHERRY HILL, NJ March 16, 2010 - Google recently launched a new marketing program that combines popular searches for local businesses with a real-world window decal marketing program.  As one of the top 100,000 most popular locally listed businesses in the US, WWWC has been chosen to have one of the first window decals for this revolutionary new strategy.   

The Google window decal resembles the bold, recognizable icon used on Google Maps.  The phrase “We’re a Favorite Place on Google” appears in large letters on the decal along with a QR code, which has a similar appearance of a bar code and can be scanned using cell phone cameras. 

The application necessary to scan the black and white code box is called a QR code reader and is available for download from Google.  A simple photo of the code box, along with the appropriate application, takes the user to the company’s Place Page where viewers can read reviews from other users, find coupons for the business, flag or star the business for future reference or leave immediate reviews. 

In order to launch this revolutionary program, Google has chosen the most popular 100,000 local businesses online.  Their popularity, mixed with Google’s brand of marketing and scannable links, creates an ideal way for businesses like WWWC to combine existing marketing with unique ways to reach new customers.   

This link between physical stores and online profiles is an important step in Google’s progressive strides towards creating the ideal business world for all types of companies.   And WWWC is privileged to be a part of Google’s powerful new marketing tool, giving WWWC an opportunity to engage existing customers and market services to entirely new clientele.
