Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce

Greetings, from the newest member of the Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce!

I’m looking forward to networking with local professionals. There is a special place in my heart for the small–town entrepreneur (probably because I was raised by a couple of them).

Small businesses have tough competition. But what would become of our communities, really society in general, without these hard-working entrepreneurs? Lets support each other to ensure we all come out of this recession poised for whatever is next.

Despite limited cash flow, small business shouldn’t cut spending on public relations, advertising, and promotion. This is primetime to showcase your products and services. Let your potential customers know what you have to offer and why they need to come to you.

If you’d like to polish your websites, if you need help with an ad, brochure, or press release, please let me know. Every business has a story, just like every person does. Let me help you tell it.

National Punctuation Day!

Apparently Hallmark isn’t the only one inventing holidays. I hadn’t heard of National Punctuation Day until this morning. I rolled over to shut off my alarm clock and actually paused and woke up. The DJ announced that it is National Punctuation Day! (I thought that deserved an exclamation.) Check out this link for information about this holiday and hints on how to use punctuation.

"Thank you!" from Valley of the STARZ

I just had to share this email sent to me by Teo from Valley of the STARZ.

"Hello Terra, THANKYOU! for your expertise in taking my thoughts and bringing them to Life. Your proper presentation of the written word is EXACTLY what Valley of the STARZ LLC needed! No business is easy, but with Creative Content Writers such as yourself, I now truly understand and VALUE the importance of having one on my Team! "Thank You" for Helping Valley of the STARZ LLC stand up and move forward! Teo"

Thanks to you Teo!  Teo is a great guy, very easy to work with.  Contact him for all your entertainment needs.

Tea Quote

This is the quote that was on the tag of my tea bag this morning:

"The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think." Horace Walpole (1717-1797)

I had never heard of Walpole until today, but I found his quote to be profound. Here is a biography on Walpole, if you're bored.

I apologize to any true tea connoisseurs out there. Yes, I do drink tea steeped from a bag (at work anyway). I have loose leaf at home and a great little teapot (thanks Kathy).
It's one of those cooler Wisconsin days. It feels like fall is coming quickly. It also feels like time to boost the immune system. I took acidophilus yesterday. I took some extra vitamins today and the green tea for antioxidants. My son has a bit of a cold and I don't want it.

Valley of the STARZ

I’m very excited to be working with Teo from Valley of the STARZ. Teo has an impressive business background. A few years ago he decided to start an entertainment agency. Valley of the STARZ features quality musicians, professional impersonators, comedians, and actors. Teo has hired me to help with the content on his site. If you are looking for some entertainment for your next event, be sure to check out Valley of the STARZ.

Don’t forget to check back as I transform Teo’s website!

It's about time...

I've blogged for other businesses, but I decided it's about time I started my own blog.

I am a freelance writer and I love it! I write for many other sites and purposes. This blog is what I'm doing for my business and my clients.
