America's Best Companies: Supporting Local and Community Small Business Owners

America's Best Companies is dedicated to helping small businesses stay in business, grow their business, and make more money in their business. Everything we have accomplished and everything we will accomplish is built on the strong belief that small businesses are the most important companies in America. After all, the American Dream has always begun with the idea of starting a small business.

To carry out this mission, we provide small businesses with the tools, information, and resources to compete with the existing mega-marts and giant online retailers. We are striving to educate the point-and-click generation of today to recognize the unique products and personal services that local business owners provide every day.

We provide five key tools to help you maximize your business and get more customers quickly, easily, and cost effectively.

First, we help you advertise your business through our Internet directory and several big-name local search sites like Yahoo, Yellowbook.com, and Yellowpages.com. Second, we publish and host an easy-to-build website for your business where you can post in-store specials, coupons, photos, videos, and more! Third, we provide discounts on a variety of goods and services for all of your most common business needs. Fourth, a subscription to our magazine, America's Best, will provide you with the most current information and advice available to help you run your business as efficiently as possible. And finally, with our marketing kit you can promote in-store with ABC member window decals, a certificate, business cards, mailing labels, and more.

In short, we are committed to insuring that your business remains one of "America's Best Companies." Join us today and tell the world that the American dream is still alive!

America's Best Companies' success is only possible because of the strength of our numbers. Suppliers understand that ABC represents thousands of active and involved small business owners. Our buying power and advertising reach grows with each new member. The future of small business depends on the commitment of independent business owners to join together and fight back against the big-boxes. Our member dues allow us to gain leverage in that fight and significantly impact public awareness to make a difference for small business. ABC cannot function effectively for small businesses without your support and your active involvement.

So when your kids come home, have them give you their candy and trade them with Healthy Chocolate Nuggets.

They are vegan and have the equivilant of a pound and a half of spinach in every nugget.

Be happy to send you some! Start a healthy Tradition!

Comment by Petra Breakstone on October 23, 2008 at 1:33am: Guilt-free Healthy Chocolate

Sounds good, right? Well you can have some! The Xocai Healthy Chocolates are actually good for you.

My favorite are the VEGAN Chocolate Nuggets, all though they have many more products including power bars, omega bars, powerhouse cookies, thin chocolate squares, a cold chocolate drink that is divine and the brand new hot sipping chocolate!

Stop by my site and watch the informative "chocolate movie" to find out more about the health benefits.
