Allow me to break the ice and introduce myself. Hi! You can call me Nick and I’m the Social Media & Content Manager for the Constant Contact Community. I’ve been with Constant Contact for over 8 years now and managing content here for most of that time. I actually started with our phone support department!

 

While I don't have a business of my own, one of the most rewarding aspects of working for Constant Contact is the opportunity to learn about and assist small businesses and nonprofit organizations that utilize our product. It's truly humbling to gain insight into the hard work and dedication that goes into bringing your ambitions to fruition.

 

When I’m not at work, I’m usually still in front of a screen. I’m a budding digital artist in my spare time. I try to rejuvenate my fried eyeballs with leisurely nature walks and hiking. I’ve also taken up rock climbing in recent years and mostly rely on my long, gangly arms to circumvent the carefully laid out routes.

 

And, I’m happy to say, my wife and I welcomed our first child in late 2023 and he’s been such a bundle of joy I really don’t care that I’ve barely slept in months. Really. Seriously…

 

I’m excited to hear from all of you and learn more about your unique stories and experiences!

Hi, my name is Patti.  I'm a health and wellness professional focusing on food and nutrition as medicine and very passionate about helping people achieve optimal health and well-being in ways that are best for them.  I've been operating my own business now for the past 20+ years and feel blessed that God has sustained me this long.  The work I do is my purpose and my ministry.  I'm also passionate about learning everthing I can about  how nutrition affects and heals our bodies - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  

 

When I have the opportunity, I thoroughly enjoy travelling, sports, and expressing my creativity through art, interior design, and fashion.  I love the outdoors, and enjoy long walks on the beach or whereever my legs and feet carry me.

 

I'm looking to grow my business on line and become a bit more savvy and comfortable with using social media for business purposes primarily.

Welcome @KendraH067 

Welcome to the community! It's great to hear about your daughter and her friend's incredible talent and dedication to basketball. It sounds like they have a bright future ahead of them! 🏀

 

I completely understand your desire to support your daughter's dreams. It's wonderful to see the community rallying behind her, and I'm sure many people would be eager to support her journey.

 

To get the word out and find sponsors, here are a few suggestions:

  1. Use social media: share videos and photos of her playing basketball on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Use hashtags relevant to basketball and sponsorship opportunities to reach a wider audience.
  2. Reach out to local businesses: approach local businesses, especially those with ties to sports or community involvement, and explain your daughter's situation. They may be willing to sponsor talented young athletes in their community.
  3. Start a crowdfunding campaign: consider creating a crowdfunding campaign on platforms like GoFundMe or Kickstarter. Share your story and explain how the funds will help support your daughter's basketball journey.

Your daughter's determination and talent deserve to be recognized and supported, and I'm confident that with the help of the community, you'll be able to find the support she needs.

HI. My nickname is Melon... from Mary Ellen. Last name is Dash (really). For over 40 years I've had a swimming school only for adults who are afraid in water. Adults overcome their fear and become able to be peaceful in deep water in a few weeks. We're in Florida now and we have a few other locations nationally. Miracle Swimming.

 

I've been a Constant Contact client for years. Decades?  It allows me to be in touch in a personal way to all my mailing lists. I can count on it. I appreciate the customer service, too.

 

What do I like most about my business? It works where all else fails. It feels good to be a leader, to have reliable answers, to see our students thrilled every time we teach a course.

 

When I'm not at work--which is rare--I'm in my yard, at the beach, outside somewhere or SCUBA diving.

 

Nick, I like the way you wrote your introduction.

We're celebrating 15 years on June 1st, but I've been a business owner for 35 years, so I've always been marketing!

Hi Folks!

My name is Tracey Lee Davis, and I own ZingPop Social Media. I am a social media coach and an email marketing manager. I am hired by busy small business owners who are resistant to using social media and email marketing, usually because it feels too big, complicated, and overwhelming. What I do is give my clients a simple starting point and a plan so they can get more exposure, make more money, and look like rock stars online. 

I celebrated my ten-year business anniversary in January. I have been a Certified Constant Contact Partner since 2015. I really love that I get to help small businesses be more successful and fulfill the passion that prompted them to start their business in the first place. 

A fun fact about me: prior to becoming a marketing professional, I was the Director of Operations for a dog daycare company that also offered boarding, grooming, and training. I am a certified dog trainer and certified kennel operator. :smileyface:

 

I really love cheese, popcorn, and comic book movies!

Hello @TraceyLeeDavis 

 

Congratulations on your tenth business anniversary and your success with ZingPop Social Media! :celebrate:

 

It’s inspiring to see how you’ve channeled your expertise into empowering small business owners to navigate the world of social media and email marketing.

 

That's very cool about your certifications in dog training and kennel operators. I got my start at a nonprofit animal rescue, working in the kennels.

 

Keep up the fantastic work, and here’s to many more years of making small businesses look like rock stars online! 😎
