HENDRICKSON BUSINESS ADVISORS CELEBRATES ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO, July 31, 2008 – On July 31, 2008, Hendrickson Business Advisors is celebrating its one year anniversary.  Hendrickson Business Advisors provides affordable advice to businesses through management and marketing consulting services with the goal of helping them improve their bottom line in a manner consistent with their business objectives. 

Jennifer Hendrickson, President stated:  “The growth and success of the firm indicates that there is an unmet need in the market and we are proud to have filled that role.”   The consulting group has expanded to meet client’s needs by moving out of the Hendrickson’s home and into office space in April, 2008 as well as adding six members to their team over the last twelve months. 

Often, Hendrickson is asked what programs have been the most popular given the wide array of management and marketing services offered.  She said:  “I’ve been a little surprised at what services have piqued the interest of small-to-mid sized business owners.  Our fastest growing area by volume is Image Advising and Faith Perceptions where we send undercover customers/visitors into businesses and churches to measure their experience.  The fastest growing area in terms of dollars is venture capital where we match companies with investors who are willing and able to accept more risk than is possible for a traditional bank.”

Melanie Smollen, Associate, commented on how she enjoys the variety:  “We have some clients that just need help with one project such as an event or a marketing piece and we have other clients that have completely outsourced parts of the business to us.  It’s always an adventure and I enjoy the variety.”
