For several years Shelia was a successful business owner in the furniture industry. This industry is commonly known among insiders as “The Trade.” Shelia now works with other business owners in The Trade to help them streamline and grow their businesses. One of the areas she focuses on is digital marketing.

It’s common for many business owners who have typically used more traditional forms of media such as print, television and radio advertising to find it a challenge to learn to effectively incorporate digital content and social media marketing.
