Minter Dialogue #59

This interview is with Valorie Reavis, the founder of the LinkUp Marketing Agency, based in Belmont Shore California, and dedicated to an industry I know only too well: hair and beauty! Valorie is also the mastermind behind the Shout Lounge, a social media and business tool, specialized for professional salons. In fact, Valorie has a strong international background in the beauty business, having worked on the salon business software side. Since it’s an area of predilection for me, I wanted to invite Valorie on the show to discuss the opportunities and challenges for small businesses, such as hairdressing salons and spas, to use digital and social media to drive their business. Hope you enjoy the show!

For those of you who are regular listeners to this podcast, you will find a new jingle at the beginning of the show, courtesy of my friend, Pierre Journel, author of the Guitar Channel. If you enjoy guitar & music, I invite you to take a spin!
