"Susan Hollett, of Hollett & Sons Inc., has been of great value to my small business. Her energy, common sense, and willingness to go beyond the call of duty has increased my sales both indirectly and directly. After completing a short contracted project, she has continued to help market Norton’s Cove Studio through word of mouth, by giving helpful hints and to-do-lists, aiding in planning workshops, giving encouragement during hard times and congratulations in good times. Hiring Hollett & Sons Inc. to create a marketing strategy was a great move!"
