I love serving creative business owners, from photographers and make-up artists to florists, wellness coaches and more, by crafting copy that’s word-magic for you and for your ideal client.
And as a strategist and an educator at heart, I’m excited to work side by side with YOU, friend, to serve up a hefty dose of YOUR personality in your brand messaging.
Let’s drop-kick the tired ol’ strategy that everyone else in your industry is using and change the script to what makes YOU different, so you can serve your people better and sell to them more, too.
Hiya!
If business ownership – and buyer’s choice – isn’t personal, each sweet little storefront in America would only leave room for ONE owner per industry to set up shop.
That would mean that each town would have ONE photographer, ONE wedding planner, or ONE calligrapher.
But friends, we don’t live in that world.
Instead, business owners like YOU experience success because YOUR clients find glimpses of themselves in YOU and in YOUR business, and they choose to work with YOU.
