We must be doing something right!

"Ellen Smarketed me through the process of creating my first product - an audio CD. She took charge, guided me, and played with me all along the way. This project had been on my to-do list for years, and I'm delighted with it."
— Julie Ferman, Cupid's Coach, www.cupidscoach.com

"You write of books. I am a video producer . So "books" to me reads " Videos." I am sure many others make similar substitutions to suit their endeavors. We get so busy we often overlook important matters. Thanks to Ellen Reid we suddenly realized that our website was long overdue for an
overhaul & Ellen's "Seven Steps to a Successful Web Site " will be prominently displayed to guide us. Thanks Ellen!"

"Ellen Reid, of Smarketing, has worked as The Marketing Director for Gatto McFerson, CPA's for the last three years. We have found her to be very professional, very accommodating, knowledgeable, resourceful, and responsive. She helped us brand our firm, and the financial results have been excellent. She is very personable, trustworthy and loyal. We have enjoyed working with her."
-- Louis M. Gatto, Tom A. McFerson, www.gattomcferson.com

"Smarketing and Ellen Reid provided me with the gentle yet knowing touch that it takes in the web-tangled world of the book business to get Money ToolBox for Women launched as a #1 Best Seller. Ellen and her competent team are masterful!"
-- Audrey Reed DSS, MoneyToolboxforWomen.com

"Ellen Reid worked with me for one solid year to take my book from manuscript to a published book. She is an outstanding book shepherd. For the person who does not have a big name or media following, no one can imagine what it takes to get a book from manuscript to the public. Even after taking an excellent publishing workshop with a foremost expert, I had no idea of what was in store for me. Ellen coached me through the entire process, which included many editings, developing a book cover, typesetting, and printing of the book. Ellen was extremely resourceful in each area of the book development.

"Ellen also worked with me in developing a Web site, developing a logo for my company, developing letterhead, brochures, postcards, flyers, and other marketing material. It has been an extremely enjoyable process working with Ellen Reid and Smarketing in the completion of my book, the development of my new company, and the promotion of both."
-- Richard E. Geno, The Socratic Coach

"Again, I want to thank you for your valuable insight and support in helping me realize the benefits of establishing a web presence. I was very hesitant due to the tightly regulated nature of my business. You showed me that a high quality web site could be set up and still be compliant with all applicable laws. Your recommendations as to design and content development were simply first class and I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. I know can see how my business can prosper in ways I never thought possible, and the only regret I have is that I didn't do it years ago."
-- Ulli Niemann, Registered Investment Advisor, Southland Investments

I was starting on a new business venture and needed a Shepherd and along came Ellen Reid. Even though it wasn't a book I was writing, I found Ellen Reid's expertise was just what I needed to move my new project in the direction it needed to go. Ellen was successful in assisting me in finding just the right people, connections, ideas, and most importantly the WAY to make my new business venture HAPPEN. And how it's taken off!

Thanks, Ellen Reid. Because of your skills and depth of knowledge in so many areas, you direct and add life to any one's project in my opinion.

“The presence of Ellen Reid makes a big difference in my life and my business. Her sense of order and high-level efficiency have brought me into a zone of productivity that speaks with a loud voice. She assists me with seeing an expanded view of myself as a business person. Her questions, her concerns, and her plan of action after weighing all the facts have resulted in a progressive wave for my business, my mind. I am in the beginning phase of my own business, and I am learning how to do good business. When I was a little girl, I remember hearing, 'Practice makes perfect.' I have since learned that it is the practice of perfection that makes perfect. Ellen Reid shows the steps to a good business practice through smart marketing. I consider her genius a necessity.”

Ellen at Smarketing moved right in and put it all in perspective, from our Web site and price sheets to collaborating with PR efforts, along with her countless suggestions.

“Ellen Reid 'Smarketed' my Doggie Central business ... she worked with me every step of the way to guide me in my Web site, print materials, image, and thrust -- including where to advertise. I am convinced without Smarketing we wouldn't be as successful as we are today.” -- Faith Mantooth, owner, Doggie Central, doggiecentral.com

“Smarketing is what you need if you know your Web design is out of date and you have neither the talent or the time to do anything about it yourself. They will gather information from you about what your business involves and design a custom image to project that business to your customer community. We are delighted with the results it has produced for us.”

-- Bill Truesdell, President, The Management Advantage, Inc.

“Being relatively new to the Internet, I needed someone who had the patience and understanding to 'hold my hand' throughout the process of having a Web site built. Ellen Reid was just that person. I put myself in her hands, and she far exceeded all of my expectations. I found Ellen to be extremely competent, professional, and innovative. I highly recommend Ellen and The Smarketing Agency to anyone looking to establish a presence on the Internet. Like me, you will be extremely pleased.”

-- Marc Taylor, Aloiv Publishing Co., Jamaica, New York, touchofclassicsoul.com

“I have gotten two incredible clients who found me on the Internet -- one for an order of 576 units and the other a 300+ order pending -- not to mention all the individual orders who just locate me on searches. Thank you for your part in making me Internetted!”

-- Kendra King, owner Artfullbaskets.com

-- Kameron Segal, owner, travelfone.com

“It is always edifying to work with a professional with a wealth of experience in marketing strategies and business development. Ms. Reid's veteran knowledge of many different industries allows her to give clients genuine insight about positioning their businesses in the marketplace. Her focused approach to the true essentials of marketing, those that transcend all technologies, has provided her clients with invaluable advice and approaches to capturing their various markets. She is a rare combination of teacher and doer.”

-- John Rafferty, owner Time/Link Systems

“I like my site very much. Ellen worked very hard on it so that it would truly represent who I am and what I want to do. She spent a lot of time with it, and the cost was most reasonable, considering all the information she had to wade through to do it. I already had a site up, but it was very confusing and if anybody landed there they didn't know what they were supposed to do. I am not sure what my costs were. It was very reasonable. She had herself, a Web designer, a copy writer, and a person who indexed it for the search engines (they were great too) working on it. My experience with Ellen was stellar. I appreciate her dedication to doing the absolute best for her clients.”

-- Gail Darwin, earthhealing.com

“The thing that sets Ellen Reid apart from other marketing firms is that she's able to pick apart your past, sort through your present, and hand you a strategic plan for the future. It's amazing to watch her at work --- she actually nurtures the strategy to life! I highly recommend using Ellen for both Internet and traditional marketing and long-term goal setting.”

-- Rhee Bevere, copywriter, InkSlingers

“Everyone needs a 'Smart Marketing' person like Ellen Reid!"

"I called Ellen because someone I know and respect was using her services. Immediately I knew that I wanted to work with her and told her so. I had been struggling with a marketing idea for months, going back and forth in my mind as to whether to do it or not. I had just not found the right person, I told myself. After a detailed discussion about my business, it was clear to Ellen that I should not proceed with the marketing plan and therefore not use her services. Now that's a true professional!”
