Hi!  I'm Francine Shine

I am a small business enthusiast and always have been. I think the joy I get from seeing and helping small businesses grow stems from my youth.  My parents owned a small business that spanned 40 years.  I witnessed what it takes to own and run a successful small business.  

I have always loved to create and write so it was not a surprise when I chose a career in which I could do both. A degree in marketing communications and journalism led me to various positions in the industries of marketing, copywriting, and publishing. 

Hard work, determination, keeping abreast of the industry market trends as well as your competition, and using analyses to determine what marketing avenues work...these are just a few of the basic factors that I know help the growth of small businesses.

When an acquaintance asks me “What do you do?”, my response is that I build websites for small businesses. But truthfully, that is only a smidgen of what I bring to the table for small businesses. It includes 15 years designing and maintaining small business websites, as well as creating marketing campaigns, and editing marketing and sales copy (both digital and print) for over 25 years. 

I am result-driven, an excellent communicator, detail-oriented, flexible, personal, and transparent. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you on behalf of your marketing needs. I love what I do for small businesses,  Call me so I can assist you.
