Michelle Sharp of Meet the Minnesota Makers is a fabulous asset to the local small business community. Not only is she shining a light on our local talents, she has great advice. She has graciously spoken at our annual conference, which was so successful that we had to have her return to teach a webinar workshop for us about social media marketing for small businesses. We look forward to working with her in years to come!

I recently attended Michelle’s Digital Marketing Workshop and I’m so glad I did! I took away so many nuggets of great information. I started applying some of the nuggets that were new to me and my business immediately and saw almost instant results in our sales. A single post on a new to us social media platform resulted in a new corporate partnership that has been tremendous for our business. Michelle is very knowledgeable and presents her information in a fun and inviting way.  She understands small business; her content is relevant and I think no matter what level you are at in your business, there is a take away for most folks. I highly recommend utilizing Michelle’s services!

  • Workshops range from one hour survey sessions to day long workshops. Can be done in person or via Zoom. Contact Meet the Minnesota Makers for pricing and availability. Michelle has presented on digital marketing, website content creation, and social media at Smith + Trade Mercantile, the MN Organic Conference, the Minnesota Cottage Food Producers Association Conference, a Minnesota Cottage Food Producers Workshop, and The Wilderness Coworking space in Minneapolis.
Michelle of Meet the Minnesota Makers would love to introduce you to local makers and growers. Now in the second year of the popular Taste Makers classes at the Farm at the Arb at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Michelle coordinates opportunities for you to get to know the local small business innovators that make Minnesota an amazing place to be.  She has also spoken at Twin Cities Rotary clubs about the role of small businesses in our communities. She highlights small businesses in your community as a part of the conversation. Invite her to your group to discuss how everyone can support our small business network. This is a great way to discover small businesses in your area!
Contact me to schedule a complimentary planning session to discuss what would be a productive and interesting workshop or lecture for your business or civic organization!
