Profile Information

About my Business:
Consultant for 'everything marketing' including marketing plans, corporate image, research, merchandising, advertising.

My business focus is to help small businesses:

Jump start marketing plans
Review existing marketing plans
Offer ten marketing strategies that can yield immediate results Help bring clarity to their marketing efforts
Define niche and focus to marketing efforts for maximum impact

I have over 25 years experience in a marketing and sales for professional service organizations and Fortune 500 companies.
About Me:
Relocated from Detroit area in 2012 to Apex. (My husband said we would never move for a job but here we are!)

Anyone that knows me will say I never let the grass grow under my feet...and they are right!

One of my favorite authors is Malcolm Gladwell and I love reading books related to marketing, consumer behavior and psychology. (I'd like to think this helps with my market consulting!)

I am at my best when I am learning or teaching. I work as a Leadership Assessor with the UNC-MBA program on a part-time basis. It is a rewarding experience to be able to use so much of my past experiences to help students. Interestingly, I never thought my combined positive AND negative work experiences would be of value to anyone but myself!

My perfect day would be browsing vintage/antique stores and reuse warehouses with friends.

Hello Karen,

Welcome to Inside919! So glad you have joined us.  I enjoyed reading your profile and learning a little more about your services.   

Inside919 is a great network that provides REAL value to small businesses! 

Here are a few pointers to help get you started:

  • I encourage you to review the 'Groups' page and join the "Business Networking In" Group for your town.  This is a great networking opportunity to reach out, meet, and connect with others in the group.   There may be other groups that interest you as well that you might like to join. 
  • Also, make sure you’re showing up on our new Business Directory (the key is to make sure the category name used in the Directory is in the "About my Business" field on your Profile (click "Settings" to the right). 
  • Be sure to keep an eye on the Events Calendar.  This is where you’ll find a listing of local networking events or training sessions that other members have posted.

If you should need any help or advice on the network, please don't hesitate to reach out.  I'm happy to help!

Best of Luck!

~Stacey
