“As President of a Las Vegas based boutique public relations firm working with limited staff and resources, I have found PR Newswire to be an extremely valuable tool in branding and marketing my clients. Representing small businesses and not-for-profit organizations with restrictive budgets (especially in the current economic climate), PR Newswire’s distribution services allows for what I note as the 4Es: the most efficient, effective and economical means of Exposure. Exposure that spans the nation and beyond! In addition to the traditional media pick-up, there are hundreds of TOP internet news rooms which post PR Newswire releases “word-for-word.” The internet news room postings have a two-fold effect: increasing the opportunity for media, businesses and consumers from across the globe to read the release, as well as enhancing the internet Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of the client and its product/service.”

Isabelle Gernatt Schmitt is the owner of the Quilt Farm in Boston, NY, and has been an NFIB member since 1989.
"I started to quilt with my sisters after my husband passed away. Once my kids were back in school, I realized I needed to spend my time doing something I loved," Schmitt said. "So I returned to school myself and learned everything I could about starting your own business, including the benefits of joining NFIB. I opened the Quilt Farm in 1989 and I've been a member of NFIB for all 23 years."
