LPCC Joins Community to Celebrate Switchfast’s Expansion
Business Grows By Helping Others Grow Through Technology

CHICAGO (October 5, 2010) – While the country recovers from a recession not seen in generations, some small businesses are working to grow their business while adding services for clients.  Adapting to the needs of small businesses, clients and industry trends is one of the hardest things for a business to do – in any economy.  One local technology firm has done just that and worked to integrate new programs and services to their clients to enable their businesses to run better as well.

Located at 4034 N. Ravenswood, Switchfast proudly offers local small businesses access to the technology needs crucial to their success.  On Tuesday, October 5, 2010 the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce (LPCC) along with the Lakeview and Wicker Park-Bucktown Chambers of Commerce joined community members, local businesses and staff from Switchfast to announce a significant expansion in available services for small business owners with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.  Switchfast, a nine year-old technology company focusing on the small business and non-profit market, provides 'big business' technology and marketing support with an emphasis on affordability, ROI and a high level of responsiveness. 

“Since day one, our mission has been to level the playing field for our clients: maximizing their pool of resources without requiring them to make a crippling monetary investment.  This is the next logical step down that path. We've achieved our mission in terms of our clients' IT service and will continue to do so; now we will provide the same value to their marketing operations,” said Switchfast Chief Marketing Officer Tom Winters. 

When you work with small businesses, especially across multiple industries, you adapt to a wide variety of business environments and organizational structures.  Whether a client just needs help with an occasional project or needs a completely functional marketing department, we can serve them without breaking their budget.”

September 13, 2010 marked the official launch of Switchfast’s marketing services for small businesses.  With the addition of Marco Amaro, Director of Marketing, Switchfast adds more fire-power and ability to super-serve the Hispanic business community.  A regular on the Inc. 5000 Magazine List of Fastest Growing Privately Held Businesses, Switchfast serves as a partner for small businesses instead of simply a sales rep.  It is this approach that allows Switchfast to help businesses help themselves.

 “The Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce is proud to mark Switchfast’s recent growth and expansion into marketing services with this ribbon-cutting ceremony,” said Kim Schilf, President and CEO of the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce.  “Witnessing a business grow during a difficult economy is a humbling and amazing feat.  Watching this growth through services to help other small businesses run their facilities more efficiently is even better.”

Switchfast is located at 4034 N. Ravenswood and is available online at www.switchfast.com.  For more information on the technology resources offered through Switchfast please call (773) 241-3009.
