Herndon, VA – Sep 13, 2010 – U.S. small businesses, typically known as the innovation engine that fuels the nations’ economic growth, have reached a roadblock when it comes to marketing  innovation. Contrary to the optimistic outlook in 2009, the fourth wave of the Small Business Success Index™ (SBSI), sponsored by Network Solutions® and the Center for Excellence in Service at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, indicates that the recession is stifling small business owners from pushing the limits on innovative marketing.  Only 37% of small businesses say they are highly successful at coming up with new ideas to grow their business compared to 47% last year.

“Creative thinking and the determination to push the limits on innovation are the hallmark characteristics of entrepreneurs,” says Tim Kelly, CEO, Network Solutions, an advocate of small business success. “Having a strong presence on the Web gives business owners a great launch pad to showcase their innovative spirit and build brand awareness for the products and services they offer.”
