Please vote for me in the Start Up Nation Leading Moms in Business Competition!

Learning about the latest free and low cost advertising ideas is a hot topic and advice is everywhere. The challenge is weeding out the good ideas from the bad, putting it all together in a cohesive strategy and at an affordable price. I work hard to produce all these for my clients.

About Me:

Eighteen successful years into my marketing career, I made a decision to take time out to be with my kids. Soon after, I took on volunteer work as a PTA president and with SCORE.org and began to meet numerous mothers in my community and across the nation who were starting or running businesses. Of course I had to ask how their small business advertising was going. I was amazed to learn so many hadn’t started advertising yet or had tried an expensive tactic or two with little success.

As I began to advise these businesses about their advertising, not only did they start to see immediate results but I began to realize how much I enjoyed working with small businesses--especially my fellow mompreneurs. My love of marketing was taken to a new level.

My company, Advertising Spark, was born with three goals:

1) To provide quality advice on how to advertise using free and low cost tactics--because I want to inspire businesses to achieve more.

2) To be affordable--because I understand the very real budget limitations of small businesses.

3) To provide a service that works with unpredictable schedules--because schedules are anything but predictable when you're a mom.

From this, I drew upon my years of experience together with the best advice from top selling marketing books and popular websites to create the ultimate small business advertising tutorial called Low Cost Advertising. It's designed for businesses new to advertising and focused on free and low cost tactics. As a comprehensive guide it will save you countless hours of time and put you ahead of the competition.

It’s been a grand journey from corporate executive to stay-at-home mom and entrepreneur. Best of all, my seven year old daughter is very proud of her mom and her entrepreneurial spirit is already in the making!

Why should you vote for me?

My company is all about helping mompreneurs to succeed!
