Throughout my career I have worked with small businesses in various markets including: construction, property management, retail, landscaping, building design, planned residential communities and tourism. Company sizes have ranged from one-person operations netting under $50K/year to development projects valued over $38M.
The marketing and customer relations programs I've participated in have successfully increased individual business visibility and revenues. It is my dream and goal to help quality businesses reach their potential.
Versatility is a valuable asset when selecting a consultant to work with. My experiences have ranged from overseeing the day-to-day operations of a small business to focusing on specific duties (website management, project planning, photography). Some other strengths include the ability to work independently and as a team, organization, follow-through, goal-setting and planning.
As you know, peer relationships and community connections are important when marketing a small business...I have established connections with local media, business peers and trade associates that will in turn benefit my clients.
On a personal note, I'm married to Andy Rowlson (21 years now!). We live in Everson with our two great teenagers...Kelsey and Branden. I love gardening and spending time at our cabin on Whidbey Island. To fuel the passion for plants I also operate a seasonal nursery called Farmhouse Flowers. We propagate and sell nearly 1,000 perennial plants from this home business each April & May. Farmhouse Flowers Website
