I’m passionate about bringing small business owners and their customers together.
Welcome to Little Town Marketing | Because your business matters. I understand the struggle that small businesses face when trying to stand out in a vast and competitive world. That’s why I’m here to lend you a helping hand.
Founded in 2015, my journey actually began when I started designing websites in 2000. Throughout the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with numerous businesses in various industries. But my heart will always belong to my hometown of Wabash, IN – the first electrically lit city in the world. Although I now call Avon my home, I never forget where I came from.
I’ve had some exciting moments along the way, like when a famous Hollywood celebrity stumbled upon a website I built while searching for insurance for his avocado farm. This unexpected encounter led to even more high-profile clients.
In between helping businesses thrive, my husband and I have a passion for traveling. From mystical Burtnieki in Latvia to vibrant Budapest in Hungary, and bustling Berlin in Germany, we’ve explored some remarkable “B” destinations. And, as avid collectors, we can’t resist acquiring Art Deco nudes and flower frogs, Navajo weavings and pottery, Penland artisan pottery, and pretty rocks.
Of course, no office is complete without a furry companion. Meet Mia, our beloved Cornish Rex cat and honorary co-worker. She enjoys joining in on virtual meetings, adding a touch of feline charm to every encounter.
When I’m not busy helping businesses shine, you’ll find me pursuing my other passions. I love working out and pushing my limits with heavy weights – my impressive leg press record stands at a jaw-dropping 1200 pounds! Additionally, I find joy in painting, finger-crocheting, and indulging in all things creative. And if you’re interested, I’d be delighted to tell you about our custom doors!
At Little Town Marketing, I take immense pride in my work. Rest assured, I have the knowledge, experience, and wisdom to turn your website dreams into reality. Whether you’re looking for an informative website or a robust e-commerce site, looking for a new logo, or to improve your SEO, I’ll get the job done efficiently and effectively.
The Little Town Marketing Wizard
We are here to help others help others
DeAnne has been a close mentor of mine for years and I owe much of my success to our relationship. DeAnne is someone who knows the value of people and truly believes we are here to help others help others. Her ability to manage chaos is second to none. Operations, marketing, web design, leadership, etc. you name it.
DeAnne is someone who is able to over deliver on any task while still somehow keeping the team engaged and stimulated – fostering an environment where people actually want to be… a place where people can learn and grow both professionally and personally. Her energy and positive outlook/perspective is contagious.
The best part about working with DeAnne is that you know when you show up, she’s showing up with you – day in and day out – and you’re leaving a better person every time.
