“I have been in the incentive marketplace for about 30 years. I started as a promotional products distributor and a few years later became a multi-line representative. I loved the business so much I started my own I own a manufacturer’s representative firm, covering 11 states. I work with an incredible team of women work, and we are fortunate to have a diverse customer base that consists of end users, incentive and promotional product companies that focus on, events, casino programs, safety programs and much more. The brands we represent are as diverse as our customers and include several categories: housewares, electronics, fitness, outdoor, music, wellness, travel, pet products, jewelry, handbags and more. Some are small brands and others are large international brands. We are in a unique position to see many sides of the business. My business journey, as with most other journeys, has contained many highs, lows, great achievements, devastating losses, and many things in between. I LOVE IT!”
