How I Can Help You

I can help you plan to start a small business. I can also help you with running and growing your small business using my expertise in marketing, strategic planning, growth, and profitability.
i founded a retail merchandising point-of-purchase display company serving large and small book publishers nationwide. Starting from nothing, I had 27 years of profitable success, sold the business and collected the proceeds. I was part of the new book and backlist marketing teams for most of the major publishers in the US. I can help you in relationship building, product design and manufacturing, packaging, marketing, social media marketing, sales, pricing, collections, project management, subcontracting, logistics, drop shipments, distribution or any other small business operations. I am also an expert printer, encompassing lithography, screen printing, digital printing, and all post press bindery operations such as diecutting, embossing, foil stamping, and hand assembly.
I am a lineal thinker who is known for my ability to break down difficult problems into manageable solutions with logical steps going forward. My experience and expertise in my business and life is not industry specific and can apply to most other businesses. I enjoy using my extensive knowledge of starting and cost-effectively growing a very successful business to help others to do the same or better. It's all about planning and using both data and gut feelings to figure out the right path. I look forward to helping you plan and facilitate the hard work and fun of achieving your dreams.
