Revolution Dancewear Acquires Top Industry Online Resource Center DanceStudioOwner.com to Gain Customer Insights and Better Serve Customers

NILES, Ill.--()--Revolution Dancewear, the leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of dancewear, costumes and footwear to dance studios, today announced that it has acquired DanceStudioOwner.com, a leading industry online resource center for dance studio owners. Combined, the companies will be able to further their mutual goals to help studio owners improve studio management, save time, increase business efficiency, attract students and become more profitable while balancing their desires to grow artistically and maintain their passion for dance.

Revolution Dancewear was drawn to DanceStudioOwner.com as the companies share customer-centric operating models. Further, the combined insights into studio owners’ needs, challenges and wishes will further enable the entities to develop targeted and useful products and services.

Launched by dance studio owners Suzanne Blake Gerety and Kathy Blake in 2008, DanceStudioOwner.com offers studio owner members in more than 40 countries hundreds of how-to articles and downloadable business forms, checklists, and other business templates plus online teleseminars, marketing tips and studio start up business resources. The online resource center also provides a unique community where studio owners can seek advice from other owners and learn best practices.

“When we met with Suzanne and Kathy, there was an instant synergy. Both DanceStudioOwner.com and Revolution Dancewear are committed to nurturing the dance studio owner’s passion for dance and enabling them to succeed in business,” said Robb Lippitt, CEO of Revolution Dancewear. “This acquisition bolsters our mission as we can now provide our customers with an outstanding online resource center for growing and succeeding in business. At the same time, it gives us deep insights into the business challenges our studio customers face every day, which ultimately will enable us to serve them better.”

With the acquisition, Revolution Dancewear’s customers will have the ability to renew their membership or become DanceStudioOwner.com members at a reduced rate. As Revolution Dancewear has expanded globally, the acquisition also provides Revolution Dancewear with additional insights into geography and international nuances that studio owners face.

Revolution Dancewear will provide DanceStudioOwner.com with the resources and infrastructure needed to advance and enhance its operations. In addition, the co-founders of DanceStudioOwner.com will be on the speaking and trade show circuit, giving them more opportunity to connect with and listen to dance studio owners, and expand its brand reach. DanceStudioOwner.com will retain its name, brand, community and autonomous approach to content development.
