Last month, we introduced a new "Ask the Experts" series, featuring women entrepreneurs in Rhode Island. This month we learn about the marketing challenges of some of our local artists and their businesses.

Ahler's GiftsWe are pleased to interview Gail Ahlers from Ahlers Designs. Gail founded Ahlers Designs (www.ahlersgifts.com) in 1989 and is a RISD graduate. She has a collection of 1500 designs, and has had success growing her business through gift shows and relationships with stores, galleries and boutiques. Her company is located in the Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket.

Gail is also President of the Foundry Artists Association and is busy with their upcoming Holiday Show, which features 65 local artists (
www.foundryshow.com), December 6th - 16th. (This is a great opportunity to do some holiday shopping, and support local small businesses!)

Hear our interview with Gail now.

EyecatchersAlso, at a recent CWE Networking event (www.cweonline.org) The Sassy Ladies met Micki Whelan (www.mickiwhelan.com). Micki has had a one of a kind and limited edition jewelry business and recently came up with a fantastic idea: “eyecatchers”. Listen and learn how Micki is positioning and marketing this new product.  

                                   Hear our interview with Micki now.

These interviews were brought to you by The Sassy Ladies (www.TheSassyLadies.com), an online resource for women entrepreneurs, and Every Company Counts, an initiative of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (www.everycompanycounts.com).
