Pinterest Best Practices for Small Business

Gail is filled with clear and clever ready-to-implement ideas. She was truly valuable as a coach and I will be hiring her again for the next stage.

"Gail is a class act. Talk about a Creative person when it comes to Blogging and Writing Skills. One of the wisest business women I have met, and talk about creditability, she is top notch.

If there was more people like Gail, life would be a much better place. I feel so fortunate to know Gail, and know that I can count on her if I ever need help with any business decision, or guidance.

I've found Gail to be a superb resource when it comes to online marketing. She has an incredibly strong command of all major aspects of online marketing and sales generation, all the way from search and paid ads to e-commerce sales and cart abandonment. And, what I found even more wonderful was her ability to get you connected and introduced to the experts in pretty much any field of online marketing to ensure even better results for your business. Aside from this, there were two things that really stood out for me. First, her consultations are very practical, and cost-effective and time-effective. She just doesn't focus on the "what" but also the how and the detail steps that can be taken to ensure your business reaches its goals. Second, she is very accessible and listens intently to ensure she understands your business needs. If you get a chance to work with her, take it! Rest assured, you won't regret it.

I recently launched a electronics business that required a significant social media boost at it's inception. Gail was recommended to me by an internet attorney friend,...who's instructions were very simple. "Gail is one of the most influential bloggers in the world...Do what she says." Fast forward...

Before she was contracted in April 2012 and the Google search "cordcruncher" came up with 20 results. Today July 2012 there are 54,000 results.

We were advised in the following areas:
1. Social Media - Do's and Don'ts - Critical for a young company like ours.
2. Condensing our message for the 3 second attention span of our customers.
3. Social media tools such as tagging "call to action" button on our videos.
4. Over all social media strategy which included integration with a PR firm and internet exposure/funding sites such as Kiskstarter.com

Feel free to contact me for any additional information you need for Gail.

This may not sound like the typical recommendation, but Gail is not your typical Internet Strategist or Small Business Marketing Strategies either. In the time that I have known Ms. Gardner, my admiration for her was quickly developed on the basis that she is a "no frills, no fluff" type of business-women.

It is not-too-often that you will find a marketing strategist that really has a clue about what is going on with respect to networking. She is a "straight shooter" than doesn't give some cookie-cutter or politicized view on how to do business. Ms. Gardner clearly has experienced enough with respect to business and online business that her recommendations and advice for your business are based on real-world experience and hands-on implementation of properly constructed business models.

Gail is an excellent teacher of blogging, social media, and other business skills. She shares freely of her knowledge and helps anyone who asks. She is an asset to any endeavor.

Gail Gardner is an internet strategist, small business advisor, and social media maven. Gail has the breadth of experience necessary to go from generalist to specialist in any small business setting. She is a good listener who can take the problems she hears small business owners voice and craft a solution that changes their bottom lines.

With a strong, deep background in project management and a passion for collaboration, Gail is able to bring Small Business brands together with niche bloggers and help facilitate a process where each group meets and exceeds their goals. Gardner is also a strong business writer who persuades effectively, teaches new concepts, and puts together visually pleasing presentations. I am always pleased to work alongside Gail on projects and recommend her highly as both a team member and project leader.

Gail is one of the best networkers / connectors I know. She understands the value of bringing businesses and bloggers together as well as encouraging people to promote local businesses to help boost the economy as whole. Anything she writes about or recommends is because she wholeheartedly believes in it. Her clients also benefit from her ability to connect them to the right online marketing strategies and people to help their businesses grow.

Thanks to the recommendations of Gail, I was able to lower my Alexia score, rank higher in Google search, and increase my reach on twitter. Her expertise has been invaluable to me and my site. She has been integral in helping me grow my business and social media presence in a very short period of time.

Gail is a pleasure to work with and truly cares to help small business grow!! She always goes above and beyond her call of duty. She is certainly an expert with social media and blogging. I will always have her on my team for social media. I highly recommend Gail to any small business looking to unitize social media and blogging!!
