And How We've Helped Professionals Like You With Inbound Marketing, Digital Marketing, and Content Marketing
Here's what business professionals we have worked with have to say about doing business with Simple Marketing Now and Christine B. Whittemore...
Don Aronin, CEO | Tile Outlets of America
"Christine has been more than a consultant to Tile Outlets of America. Her knowledge, intellect, and experience are readily apparent and over the past several years her role has evolved to that of a trusted adviser who has played and continues to play an integral role in the development and day-to-day management of our social media and website marketing efforts.
With Christine’s guidance, we have transformed our website from a dated, static site to a dynamic and vibrant one that responds to our customers’ needs and desires. We also now have a social media presence that reinforces the visibility and effectiveness of our overall Internet marketing presence. I know of no one in any field of expertise I would recommend any more highly than Christine."
Bill Buyok, Principal Avente Tile:
"Christine's passion for a great customer experience and no-nonsense approach is smart marketing. Her strong understanding of marketing fundamentals combined with a keen eye and steadfast monitoring of metrics provides quantifiable results that will improve your bottom line. Christine will help you understand what marketing efforts your business should be engaging, guide you there, and show you the results.
Her skill sets include social media marketing, content marketing, SEO, PPC, and copyrighting. One quality that I admire is her ability to understand the time restraints small business owners face while gently encouraging action to achieve results that help your business grow."

Valerie Fritz, as Vice President of Marketing, Awarepoint, wrote:
“I hired Christine as a social media consultant after discovering her talent through a webinar presentation. She has a masterful command of the power of digital media and the impact appropriate social influence has on brand, revenue and profit. She has an intuitive way of explaining new concepts in a way you can easily understand and embrace, and a knack for knowing when to push, when to take the lead, and when to back off, based on her client's current work schedule and readiness to embrace the next step. I will definitely hire Christine again, and would highly recommend her for anyone embarking on the wonderful world of social media and influence in business.”

Each and every member of our organization was thrilled to hear your presentation entitled 'Flooring the Consumer: In-Store and Online'.
Our goal, as we built our agenda, was to provide a program that recognized the importance of women consumers and provided a fresh, inspiring perspective. Because of your renowned reputation in the industry and our convention theme "Think Pink and Best Practices" we were pleased that you were available as you were a perfect fit within our theme.
Christine, you really hit the mark, exceeding our expectations and providing our membership with insightful, pertinent knowledge to implement changes within their businesses.
