2017 Small Business of the Web.com Tour
In December, the story of each of the tournament honorees will be captured in 90-second videos and hosted in an online gallery for the public to watch and vote for their favorite. The business with the most votes will win the 2017 Small Business of the Web.com Tour Award and receive $25,000 in Web.com products and services - a value 10 times the average annual media spend for small businesses.1
"The pro golfer's journey parallels that of the small business owner, and the sport epitomizes the potential of individual achievement when backed by a team of experts," added Brown. "Today's pro golfers surround themselves with a team of experts-a swing coach, a strength coach, a nutritionist, an agent and more. We want small businesses to consider us their team of experts in online marketing solutions."
