Daisy Glaze Consulting

In addition to archiving my long-form writing, Daisy Glaze is now the home of a new communications and marketing consulting service to help those in the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. If you want to know about my vast experience and background spanning over three decades, please visit my LinkedIn page.

How to Know You Need Support

1. I’m a small business needing to reach specific audiences and meet certain metrics to grow and be successful, with no idea of where to begin.

2. I’m not the best at writing! Recognizing that the best communication depends on the art of writing, I could use assistance with social media posts, blogs, websites, podcasts, client letters, presentations, etc., etc.

3. I’m an event planner or venue operator and plenty busy! I sure could use help in offloading tasks related to drafting email invitations and run-of-show documents, securing vendors for vital services such as DJs, photo booths, photographers and other entertainment, and even day-of, on-site support for the actual event.

4. I’m with a larger company or nonprofit that lacks in-house support for marketing and communications but has an available budget for contract work aimed at external and/or internal audiences, as well as sensitive needs related to c-suite and executive leadership.

• And these are just a few examples! When you need these types of services, you’ll know it!

What Daisy Glaze Provides (Including Bundles)

It is the overriding goal of Daisy Glaze to make your experience as efficient and cost-effective as possible. No hidden fees. All contracted work is mutually agreed upon before the start of a project. The agreed-upon work will be provided on an agreed-upon timeline. All clarity, no surprises!

• The initial consultation fee is $25, which will be credited back if Daisy Glaze renders services. While I am based near Cedar Creek Lake in Kaufman County, I am happy to come to you to meet! I can also meet via video call such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom as well as consult via phone at (214) 541-5135.

• For non-bundled projects, the standard consulting fee is $125 per hour with a minimum of 2 hours for the a la carte services performed.
