It's nothing new, the bad economy has left many companies struggling just to stay in business.  But one Midlands company is using the World-Wide-Web to take their company to the next level. 

The business is helping others with the help of one social networking giant, Facebook.  Thanks to the popular networking site, it's adding to the company's popularity.

"Well I noticed it was becoming more and more of a popular thing," said business owner Tim Connor-Murphy.

Connor-Murphy is owner of 256-to go.com.  His food delivery company is delivering high-tech savings.

"I noticed a lot of people are using the coupon codes that we send out online and through Facebook that it must be a pretty high percentage," said Connor-Murphy.

And with a click of the mouse, the number of newcomers are also on the rise.

"Our customer base has grown vastly. We now have 28 zip codes that can order from 256 To Go.com," said Connor-Murphy.  "And everyday we have about two or three people who order that's never ordered before."

Despite the dwindling economy, things continue to look up for the company.

Luckily we've been very fortunate and we've continued to grow and grow ," said Connor-Murphy.  "It must be a sign that the economy is coming back."

Connor-Murphy says using the World-Wide-Web, has made a world of difference.
