A New Venture


Wireless Zone of Holland
Becky Bartlett, Owner - Jason Parks, Sales Associate - Matt Bartlett, Store Manager

My parents have realized a dream of theirs this week:  Opening a family business.  For years my dad has talked about buying a franchise of sorts.  When they began talking seriously about purchasing a Wireless Zone , I have to admit, I was skeptical.  But this week, Wireless Zone of Holland opened its doors to serve the wireless needs of the community.

If you know my family - you are not surprised at the choice of franchise.  We have always been a little technology-obsessed (to say the least).  It wouldn't be out of the ordinary for you to visit our family Thanksgiving and find us talking about the latest cell phone technology or wireless communication.  The Wireless Zone business model fits us well.  It is the largest carrier of Verizon Wireless products and services, which we are loyal to.

And to keep in the spirit of a family run business, I will be helping out as Director of Marketing.  Its a natural fit, being that its my current profession and I already work for my dad.  I'm very excited about the opportunity.

So, in an effort to support the business...ahem...I purchased a Blackberry Storm yesterday.  I love technology.

What a great business to be in! So happy for all involved. I'm sure your mom is loving it. Now I know why she has been so busy and tired. Congratulations to the entire family!

Congratulations! But the Storm? I would have held out for Droid :)

Well, when you're ready to do TV or radio advertising give me a shout - I'd love to work on some stuff for you guys.

we're actually interested in some tv advertising - for the holidays. i have a few local contacts, but would be interested to know what your pricing is.

I'll be getting a new phone pretty soon here (I think we bought our current one right after we were married). I'll email you about TV stuff.
