The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced a new corporate affinity program, The NASDAQ OMX Advantage (Advantage) for companies listed on the exchange. Through Advantage, NASDAQ OMX listed companies will be able to offer their employees access to discounts and promotions for products and services offered by participating NASDAQ OMX listed companies.

Participants in the program must be NASDAQ OMX listed company employees.
"NASDAQ OMX Advantage is another way for us to support our listed companies and showcase exciting retail brands that list on our exchange. Our goal with this service is to pass on savings to our issuers and employees while creating added visibility and business opportunities for our companies in an efficient way," said Bruce Aust, Executive Vice President of NASDAQ OMX. "We thank all of our participating retailers for taking part in this unique online community that brings buyers and sellers together under one umbrella," Aust added.
"We're very excited about being part of the NASDAQ OMX Advantage program," said Jim McCann, CEO of 1.800.FLOWERS.COM. "As a leader in the e-commerce space, we think the idea to promote NASDAQ-listed companies and their products and services to an exclusive online audience is a win-win for NASDAQ companies, and their employees and for 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and our family of gift brands."
NASDAQ OMX listed companies currently participating in NASDAQ OMX Advantage include: 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and their family brands including Fannie May Confections, The Popcorn Factory, 1-800-Baskets.com, GreatFood.com, Cheryl & Co; Plow & Hearth; Wind & Weather; Hearth Song; Magic Cabin and Problem Solvers; JoS.A.Bank; PetMed Express; DELL Inc.; Casual Male Retail Group and their brands Casual Male XL, Living XL; Rochester Big & Tall; Microsoft; Apple; SIRIUS XM Radio; Wynn Resorts; IAC InterActive Corp.; NetFlix; Napster; NutriSystem; Bidz.Com; VistPrint; Weyco Group and their Florsheim and Stacy Adams Collection brands; Drugstore.com; Intuit Inc.; iBasis; PetSmart; and ValueLine Inc.
NASDAQ OMX listed companies have access to innovative products and services through a robust group of wholly-owned subsidiaries -- Carpenter Moore Insurance Services, Shareholder.com, News Wire Service and Directors Desk -- and strategic alliance partners that make up NASDAQ OMX Corporate Services. Combined, these services help NASDAQ OMX-listed companies by facilitating transparency, mitigating risk and inspiring better corporate governance. An integral part of the quality service NASDAQ OMX-listed companies receive is a NASDAQ OMX Relationship Manager -- a dedicated, day-to-day NASDAQ OMX contact who works with our companies directly to answer their questions on market matters and other issues that affect them. The NASDAQ Market Intelligence Desk(r) gives senior executives an immediate, integrated and insightful source of real-time market information customized to their companies and needs.
