Your HEART has the POWER to TRANSFORM!

Your HEART has the power to TRANSFORM!

Spotlight-Strategies (parent entity of Franklin Printing and The Stitch Smith) would like to recognize a special customer, Haven and challenge you to give of your HEART this Holiday Season.

The holiday season is upon us and for most it brings comfort, warmth, abundance and the love and support of family. But for many single women it is marked with reminders of all that was lost, and or lacking and a life of struggling is magnified.

Recent studies indicate the fastest growing demographic of homelessness in the U.S. is single women with children. A startling statistic that hits close to home considering, in 2006 alone, 32% of babies born in Johnson County are born to single mothers.

Ask any of these single women what they need most and the response would be, not judgment, pity or a hand-out. Empowerment, encouragement and enrichment, an opportunity to create for themselves, and their children, a life of hope and promise represents their heart’s desire.

Finding yourself single and or single-with-children can be devastating as well as paralyzing. But with a little help the lives of women and children can be transformed. Enter in Haven, A Sanctuary for Women.

Haven’s unique mission and vision is to enable single women to form a healthy relationship with Christ and their community while actively using their gifts to benefit others. It bridges generations and does not discriminate with regard to age, race or socioeconomic status thereby delivering care and support to the women who need it most. Haven plans to build a community to help get these women back on their feet. With the support of our staff, volunteers, and each other, women will regain hope and the ability to see a renewed future!

Consider ways to Give your heart away this season to impact lives throughout the year.

Think saying “Thank You” is over rated?

Think again!

On September 30th spotlight-strategies.com orchestrated a unique “thank you” party to honor our current customers and create buzz to solicit new ones!

Over 75 of our customers were on hand mingling with one another and drinking sweet libations from Mallow Run Winery.

A big thank you to our PR Chick, Jill Bode who gathered video testimonials! These will be launched on our new website shortly. We found the testimonials to be entertaining and informational. Why exactly do you choose to use Franklin Printing and The Stitch Smith (creators of spotlight-strategies.com)? Most of our guests treasured our ability to listen and recommend products and services that will put them in the “spotlight with their customers”! That’s right, our genuine concern to make THEM standout was a highlight as well as our unique ability to make ordering easy and fun!

If you are a current customer reading and didn’t get a chance to stop by our Thank you Event, please let us know why you choose to do business with us!
