About Julie
Julie Welles was born and raised in Lancaster, grew up in York County and now calls Lancaster, PA home. Including a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Julie has worked in marketing most of her life. She has vast experience in building businesses and organizations through people to people connections. “Word of mouth and building authentic relationships with people has historically been the best way to connect people to your business, organization or cause in the long-term. Traditional marketing techniques definitely do have an impact. However, in building integrity, trust and loyalty-nothing compares to someone else’s recommendation or directly relating with your clients or audience.” Along with experience as a specialty retail entrepreneur for over ten years, Julie served in management for a financial services company, sales and marketing for an education-focused distributor and most recently, an outreach director for a large Christian-based nonprofit in Lancaster.
“Nonprofits and Entrepreneurs have a special spot in my heart, “ Welles says, “I see the immense value and good that many small business owners and nonprofit leaders give to our communities and our world. They are the backbone of our communities. My goal is to reach out, give honest and professional advice, build great relationships and help hardworking businesses and nonprofits succeed in the confusing and challenging environment of internet marketing.”
