Good marketing and sales is a respectful conversation where you assume nothing.

I’m Paula Sharratt and I want to develop micro respectful marketing and link it to a social enterprise so each business feels they can contribute to improving the environment around them: pavements, shop and street signs: all the things that make you feel you are part of something, that you belong.

When I meet businesses, I go with someone I’ve found who has has a community interest so it results in a richer view of things.
One of my first contacts was the delightful talented and visionary maker of co-working space Deidre Miller.
On 27th Oct 2016 I made contact with Deidre of Minor Oak Co Working space in Sneinton Market Nottingham (helping her as she was getting the word out to anyone who needs space to work). I went with Veronica Barnes who set up the Blue Mountain Women’s Group
Veronica has been active in black history and action all her life, particularly in the 60’s and 70’s. You had no choice but to be active in the community!
