Here's the skinny...

   Many of you know me from some of the other blogs I write. However, it has come to my attention that some local businesses need a leg up... or a slap on the wrist. I have worked retail in many various forms for over 16 years. I have run small businesses and been a supervisor for larger corporations. I know all the tricks and tools of the retail trade.

  I have also learned that you have to occasionally shift careers and do something different. Currently, I am a full-time Chemistry-Math major, part-time instructional assistant, business manager for a home-based business, and a marketing director for another home-based business. I'm a pretty busy girl. But not busy enough to not tell you, the follower, when a business does not act like it should. 

  But I won't just talk about those "bad" businesses. I am also going to tell you about excellent examples of customer service, awesome marketing techniques, and great local products!
