How do you\u00a0become a Biz woman who ROCKS?<\/p>\n

Listen to our Interview with Avi Gardner\u00a0of Front & Center Marketing!<\/h1>\n

What blew me away the most about Avi Gardner was just how scrappy she is! \u00a0Her company\u00a0Front & Center Marketing<\/em> is a niche business that focuses on helping health food brands get their product into the mouths of potential customers through sampling, whether that be through coupons or actual tastings at venues. \u00a0She has a unique story of going from corporate to starting her business to jumping back into corporate while doing the “side hustle,” all the while growing her company any way she could! \u00a0In this inspiring interview, she shares what any company should do in order to optimize “sampling” to their market and how she’s built a $2 million business by 100% word of mouth marketing!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avi’s\u00a0Kick-A$$ Quotes:<\/h2>\n

We are all word of mouth, so the most effective marketing strategy that we have is doing a really good job with what we do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don\u2019t get so into yourself that you can\u2019t see what\u2019s the right thing to do for your business.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

I\u2019m the kind of person who\u2019s always going to succeed so I\u2019m just gonna get out there and find another client.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/h2>\n
