NARTS Celebrates 25 Years of Resale Professionalism by Launching New Website
St. Clair Shores, MI—NARTS, the world’s largest resale trade association, announced the launch of its new Web site today—on their Silver Anniversary. The new site, NARTSWeb, incorporates contemporary design and advanced technical elements that reflect the Association’s vision for the future and commitment to service.

The brand new Web site was designed with both resale professionals and consumers in mind. Much thought and many hours of joyful planning went into accomplishing this goal. NARTSWeb has been taken to the next level of professionalism and security with its new dynamic, robust, enhanced presence on the Internet.

“This site is not just another pretty face... it is what’s inside that counts!” said Gail Siegel, NARTS Director of Membership Services. “We did not just ‘jazz up’ some pages and change a few colors along the way. Our new content management platform and e-commerce gateway, provide endless possibilities and the absolute highest standard of security for online credit card processing.”

NARTS entered Cyberspace in 1996 when most Associations did not have Web sites. They were among only a handful of Associations offering online applications and registrations. The Web site has grown from its initial twenty pages to almost 150. Time has revolutionized Cyberspace. Its influence on our daily business mandates a higher standard of professionalism and protection—a sanctuary of safekeeping for all who enter this site.

“This is an incredibly exciting time in our Association’s history,” said Adele Meyer, NARTS Executive Director. “We believe our members, future members and the many consumers who use the tools provided in the Shopping Guide will find the new site easier to navigate. There is more to come and fantastic new features in the works. With our new content management platform there is just no stopping us now!”
