About Shirley

Shortening the learning curve for small business owners who seek to brand themselves on the Web and maximize their success with minimum effort is what I do best.

Since 1990 I’ve spoken at hundreds of events and to more than 200,000 business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and students of all age who receive a renewed sense of their responsibilities and how to move forward.

My background also includes:

• Author of: Marketing Strategies for the Home-Based Business; Web Sites: How to Create, Promote, and Profit Online; How to Start a Home-Based Gift Basket Business (currently 5th edition); and The Gift Basket Design Book (currently 2nd edition).
• Delivering seminars and keynote addresses at trade shows, business events, conferences, and industry expos worldwide.
• Consulting with Macy’s, Barnes & Noble, Hallmark stores, Total Wine, non-profit organizations, and independent retailers.
• Appearing on CNBC, The Food Network, The Discovery Channel, New York’s Fox Channel 5, and New Jersey Network.
• Writing articles published in Opportunity, Retail Store Image, Spare Time Magazine, Gifts & Decorative Accessories, and Incentive Magazine.
• Feature stories published about my expertise in The Record (NJ), North Jersey Herald & News, and Emerge Magazine.
• Expert quotes featured in Newsday (NY), Business Start-Ups, Black Enterprise Magazine, The Orange County Register, Birmingham Business Journal, Star-Telegram (TX), and other national and worldwide publications.

My mission at each event is to offer customized and/or industry-specific solutions that your audience can easily master to create a great online experience for prospects, clients, and themselves.

If that mission will benefit your organization, employees, buyers, attendees, or group, call 973-279-2799 or contact me through this form to bring me to your next event.

You’ll find my presentation to be above your expectations and my requirements minimal, making your job smooth and easy.

To your success,
