Libraries connect people with opportunities
“My business was motivated by a personal tragedy. My mother at the age of 59 suffered from a debilitating stroke which left the right side of her face paralyzed. The non-surgical skin care product I developed tightened and lifted her facial muscles within one application, significantly lessening the appearance of the effects from her stroke. That’s when I knew my product was a winner and I decided to start my own business.
“The Business Center at the Burlington County Library has helped me tremendously. I made an individual appointment with the business services librarian who recommended that I reach out to special event coordinators and women’s networking organizations. In addition, I have made wonderful connections for my business through the library's resources, especially the Small Business Development Center. They helped me create my marketing and business plan. My product was selected by QVC to appear in the shopping network's regional trade show which was broadcast online from Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles. The library’s business services are outstanding. I would highly recommend them for anyone who is looking to start their own business.”
