Likeable Launches Comprehensive Facebook Platform for Small Businesses
GlobeNewswire
2012-06-12

    Likeable Local Serves as a Social Media Solution for Small
                            Businesses

NEW YORK, June 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Likeable announced the
launch of Likeable Local, a Facebook solution for small businesses and
vertical markets. Likeable Local was created in conjunction with
Likeable's mission to help small business owners use social media to
build their brand, engage with consumers and create a more likeable
world.

"We realize that many small business owners don't have the resources to
hire an agency and don't have the time to create content for and grow
their social media pages themselves," said Dave Kerpen, Co-Founder and
CEO of Likeable. "This is the fast, all-encompassing Facebook solution
for small businesses."

Likeable Local was launched as a venture from Dave Kerpen and Product
Manager Megan McMahon, funded by Likeable.

Likeable Local's first vertical is Likeable Dentists, in partnership
with Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq:HSIC), the world's largest provider of
health care products and services to dental, medical and animal health
office-based practitioners. With a yearly fee plus a small one-time
set-up cost, the platform provides full service social media support,
with four key components: content publisher, ad buyer, tab creator and
an offline Facebook marketing kit. Content will educate and engage,
while the Facebook ads and tabs will drive likes and ultimately new
patients. The offline kits tie social media into the physical dentist
offices.

The platform was launched in closed beta last month, with more than 100
customers. This past weekend, Likeable Dentists officially launched to
the Henry Schein sales force at the Henry Schein National Sales Meeting
in Orlando, FL. Future verticals include Likeable Lawyers, Likeable
Restaurants, Likeable Veterinarians and others.

"The theme of Henry Schein Dental's National Sales Meeting this
year--'Believe It -- Achieve It'--underscores our enduring commitment
over the past 15 years to continually innovate and find the best
solutions to enhance our customers' practices as they provide the
highest quality care to patients," said Tim Sullivan, President of
Henry Schein Dental. "We are excited to launch Likeable Dentists
together with Likeable as an innovative and simple yet very powerful
solution to help our customers evolve their practices with exciting
changes in the dental market."

Likeable is an award-winning, global social media and word of mouth
marketing firm. Likeable is also recognized as one of Facebook's top 90
Preferred Developer Consultants, and is the only agency to win three
consecutive WOMMY awards from the Word of Mouth Marketing Association
(WOMMA). In 2011, Likeable was named #118 on the Inc 500
Fastest-Growing U.S. Companies and #12 in New York City. For more
