WEBWIRE

The Business Insight Series is the latest suite of educational, online videos offered exclusively by Wells Fargo

San Francisco - In celebration of small business owners, Wells Fargo is kicking off its annual Small Business Appreciation Campaign. Beginning in May and continuing through June, this recognition of Wells Fargo’s small business customers coincides with various local and national events conducted by the Small Business Administration during National Small Business Week. As part of its 2009 campaign, Wells Fargo is introducing a new online educational video resource to help small business owners manage their businesses. The Business Insight Series video library offers advice and solutions on a range of topics, including financing and credit, marketing, healthcare and security.

“We know how important it is for small business owners to have access to resources and information – especially in today’s challenging economy,” said Marc Bernstein, head of Wells Fargo’s Business Direct Lending and Small Business Segment. “The Wells Fargo Business Insight Series addresses key areas of concern for small business owners and provides them with strategies and tips to help them succeed financially.”

Approximately 3-5 minutes in length, each video features industry experts and small business owners who provide practical, real-life strategies and actionable tips. The videos feature specialists from a wide range of business support organizations as well as economic advisors, Wells Fargo executives and business owners.

“The Wells Fargo Business Insight series provides small business owners with valuable information that is convenient and easy for them to access,” said Helen Han, executive director of National Association of Women Business Owners. “Nothing conveys information as effectively as the voice of a person who is sharing their practical knowledge and experience. The Business Insight Series delivers expert advice small business can use today to help solve or avoid a problem.”
