#8211; On the Fourth of July, 2006, Idea Catchers Group, LLC announced the launch of its Patriot Discount, an incentive to support United States manufacturers.

This was the next logical step for our business, said Chris Reynolds, co-founder and Chief Technical Officer of this Texas-based Web development and online marketing company. We support U.S. companies by buying American-made products whenever we can, and we realized we could do even more to support them with this offer.

With its Patriot Discount, Idea Catchers is offering American-owned manufacturers of American-made products up to 10% off its ideaBUILDER™ program for custom Web sites, plus 90 days of free online marketing support. The ideaBUILDER™ program for manufacturers includes custom Web site development, an online product catalog tailored to the manufacturer&#s inventory, and an impressive array of content management tools. The program also includes free Web hosting and full marketing support for a flat monthly fee.

This is one of our most popular -– and practical -– packages, Reynolds said. It offers a number of custom options that manufacturers won&#t find in off-the-shelf software, and now it&#s available to U.S. companies at a great discount.

An impressive offering from a patriotic company. But it doesn&#t end there. Reynolds said he wants to see other companies follow Idea Catchers&# lead.

We&#ve taken the first step; we hope other businesses in this country will follow suit with Patriot Discounts of their own, Reynolds said. Together, we can help U.S. companies remain competitive in the global marketplace.
