Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/30/2014 -- The Countess Group, an internationally recognized strategic marketing and communications consultancy, announced today that its VIP Partner Loyalty Club membership has grown to over 1,100 businesses and non-profit organizations.

The company’s VIP Club enables its members to receive up to $2,000 in free services to help them optimize their Constant Contact email marketing and social media marketing campaigns.

Ken Countess, The Countess Group’s Managing Director, a Master Certified Constant Contact Platinum Solution Provider and Authorized Local Expert, began offering the service in 2013 to help clients get the most out of their marketing efforts. Finding many companies just need a little extra guidance to dramatically boost the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, the company has helped many clients grow their revenue and exposure.

“Small businesses and non-profits are so challenged running their day-to-day operations that they don’t have the time to handle the marketing tasks that keep the customer pipeline full. For example, they often mean to get a newsletter sent but get stuck somewhere in the process. We simply provide a resource to provide occasional help when they need it rather than having to call into a call center,” said Countess. “It’s that simple, with no strings attached.”

“Becoming a member of our VIP Partner Loyalty Club is even easier than joining a hotel or airline loyalty program,” Countess continued. “Participation in the program enables members to get high impact announcements, newsletters and social media campaigns out the door quickly, and then get back to focusing on what they love most – running their business or non-profit. A phone call or e-mail to our office (407-242-4200 or info@thecountessgroup.com) can make it happen within minutes.”
