 Orange, CA - Friend Communications and AGS Internet Services have partnered
to provide expanded managed Web site services for RV parks and campgrounds
who wish to take advantage of the National Association of RV Parks
and Campgrounds' (ARVC) Go Camping America Web site. The new agreement
builds upon the cooperative initiatives established by both companies
late last fall, and further leverages AGS's creative online content
development and Friend's technological infrastructure to deliver
a best-of-breed online marketing solution.
The new agreement establishes a firm foundation for both companies
to work together to enhance the value of the Go Camping America
Web site, and to promote each other's services. Specifically, customers
utilizing the self-managed Web site capabilities provided by Friend
now have the option to obtain managed services from AGS Internet
Services to maintain the content of these Web pages.
"It became apparent after working with AGS, as well as the
customers that we have in common, that there are complementary capabilities
between our two organizations that needed to be explored,"
stated Gary Pace, president and CEO of Friend Communications. "There
is a segment of our customer base, as well as prospects, who are
too time compressed to maintain their sites on a regular basis.
This teaming agreement provides the solution to this dilemma."
The coupling of each company's services provides a broad range of
options for RV parks and campgrounds to choose from when shopping
for online marketing alternatives. "Choice is the key and capitalizing
on these choices helps maximize a park's online marketing strategy,"
said Lynn Rogers, president of AGS. "I have been impressed
with the strategic focus and vision of Friend Communications since
they first emerged onto the scene two years ago. Aligning the strengths
of both organizations rather than offering competing services is
a solid economic choice that benefits the parks and the consumer,
as well as both organizations."

and Friend via this new agreement, please contact AGS at 800-245-9666
