Award Presented by Power Equipment Trade Magazine MILWAUKEE--(Business Wire)--ARI (OTCBB:ARIS), a leading provider of technology-enabled business solutions for equipment dealers, distributors and manufacturers, today announced that it has received the 2007 Dealers Choice Award in the Business Services category for WebsiteSmart Pro(TM), ARI's website solution for dealers. The award was presented by Power Equipment Trade magazine at the close of the 2007 GIE+EXPO Lawn and Garden Equipment and Services tradeshow held in Louisville, KY. The event drew more than 20,000 visitors, including more than 7,000 lawn and garden power equipment dealers and retailers. Winners of the Dealers Choice Awards are selected based on votes cast by dealers attending the show and recognize the best products in five categories: handheld, wheeled, powersports/recreation, accessory/attachment and business services. "Having WebsiteSmart Pro selected as the best Business Service by outdoor power dealers is very gratifying," said Brian E. Dearing, chairman and CEO of ARI. "WebsiteSmart Pro was created to provide dealers with a complete website solution that would help them increase sales and improve service to their customers. We are honored to receive this recognition from the people who use our products and services every day." "In February 2006, WebsiteSmart Pro was awarded the Editors Choice Nifty 50 Award by Powersports Business magazine. Together, the two awards confirm that WebsiteSmart Pro meets the needs of dealers and adds value to their business," concluded Dearing. "The purpose of the Dealers Choice Awards is to provide dealers with the opportunity to vote for those products and services that have significantly added value to their businesses. We want to reward the companies that listen to dealers' needs and develop the products and services that specifically meet those needs, helping to make businesses in the Outdoor Power Industry stronger and more profitable.
