Joe Jacobs’s Summary

Twenty years of experience in Retail Management ranging from small specialty shops to big box retailers with over $20 million a year in revenues. Professional interests include increasing revenue through greater visitation and awareness by local consumers. In recent years I have brought together my professional interest with personal interests to outdoor recreation marketing.

Joe Jacobs’s Specialties:

Utilizing new technologies and traditional marketing venues to drive customer awareness. In my current position I work heavily with internet marketing including social networking, SOE and other electronic media. My goal is to synergize these new forms of marketing with the traditional print, radio and television ads and media releases.
