But you can bet that your competitor down the street is probably asking the questions or reading answers, too, so it is important to be involved in this community and to know what is going on. It's important to give as well as take in a community effort and to be willing to share. We're interested in the reach and the content. The database of insurance agencies on the site is about 52,000 according to Robert Stewart, Sr., one of the company's nine founders. News can be posted on the site from the companies, and company data can be built directly into the Supersite search engines.
Users can pose questions by e-mail directly to the companies.
And the site will continue to grow and change in response to user demand. We are looking for ways to work more closely with other verticals and our site will evolve into a site where business insurance customers will come to find information. We will provide insurance information to the other vertical sites, and users from those sites will come over to ours to get more information. From The Store, users will be able to buy the products and services from the various business centers. While we are using this as a venue to promote and support our business centers, companies without a business center will have a limited opportunity to participate in The Store as well.
