I'm just your average 30-something, some-what Fashion-Forward, Coffee addict(frozen and lattes), Shopaholic, Internet Savvy Web Designer, Mom of (1) 16 year old and Wife, who loves to talk, shop, meet new people, take notes & dish out the inside scoop about "life's little luxuries of the south".
I am originally from Ohio, moved to North Carolina in 1997, married to the most wonderful husband and best friend, and have a beautiful 16 year old daughter, who I completely adore, and enjoy.
I love the beach, the mountains, and meeting new people. When I am not working (which is rare), I love spending time with my friends and family, love to travel to cool and unique places, and discover more about the beautiful state of North Carolina and love supporting local businesses. Oh and I loooovvvveee to shop! You probably already knew that.
I am really glad to be a part of such a cool community and I am looking forward to meeting new people and hope to have the opportunity of being a part of their business success.
Tell us about your company. Who are you interesting in meeting? Who is a good referral for you? Who is your ideal customer?
I decided to start my own full-time graphic design/web design business in 2001, Fitch Advertising - www.fitchadvertising.com, after working for several years in Advertising/Publishing & working with small local Newspapers & Magazines and have recently decided to begin a new adventure last year, hence, The Shopping Memo.
The Shopping Memo is a FREE local online guide, blog & E-Memo that feature's the latest inside scoop on What's Hot, What's Happening, & What's New in Boutique Shopping, Fashion & Lifestyles in the Raleigh and surrounding North Carolina areas. We are your local Shopping, Fashion & Lifestyle Blog website source to keep you in the know.
It's all about "Taking Notes on Life’s Little Luxuries in the South."
Think of us as your personal, smart, fun, local gal pal & shopper to give you the INSIDE SCOOP on cool New Boutiques, Exclusive Sales, Fabulous Events, Sweet Treats, and much more.
We are dedicated to the growth and prosperity of our local business community and our Mission is to brand and promote the unique independently-owned retail shops and small businesses in the Triangle area as well as discover and provide the inside source to all that is fabulous across North Carolina.
I also provide Hip, Trendy & Modern logo design, website design, e-commerce, email marketing, blog design, ad design, internet marketing, search engine marketing campaigns and just about everything you need to establish your Brand in the marketplace, a complete identity & marketing package. Our main focus is in the Boutique, Lifestyle & Retail industries.
I am interested in meeting locally owned retail businesses who continue to make in a difference in our state and provide the level of service and community awareness that we all love and cherish!
A good referral would be any independently owned retail business or boutiques who need help in creating and sustaining an identity in the marketplace and needs help promoting their storefront online!
