Client Testimonials

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Leslie Carothers for any strategic consulting that requires dedication, creativity, and a cohesive marketing strategy. As the owner of two small businesses, I had the privilege of working with Leslie who played a crucial role in revamping our marketing strategies, leading to significant improvements in our brand visibility and customer engagement.

Leslie demonstrated exceptional skill in understanding our target market and crafting tailored advice that resonated well with our audience. Her expertise in digital marketing, including SEO, social media, and AI, was instrumental in our launch of designer mentoring and coaching as well as our online presence. Moreover, Leslie’s ability to analyze market trends and adapt strategies accordingly was a game-changer for our business.

I have no doubt that Leslie will bring the same level of excellence, innovation, and dedication to any role she undertakes. She is an asset to any team.

Please feel free to contact me if you require further information or clarification.

FIVE STARS!!! It has been an absolute honor and pleasure working with Leslie Carothers for the past year. Leslie was hired at the early stages of our new brand identity development in which we were developing a new logo, blog, and website. Initially, she assisted our team in reviewing and analyzing our website effectiveness, optimization, social media reach and style, and site navigation details in order to determine how we could best update and strategize for the next phase of our company’s growth.

Leslie was instrumental in the discovery of our brand’s new voice and most importantly, in determining our target customer and fine tuning how we present our niche services. Leslie’s talent and unique gift for listening and generous patience led us to discover our true authentic voice in the industry. Leslie was the calm in our storm and the answer to our prayers. Leslie has a keen ability to focus in on the hidden strategic elements that only our company could provide.

Without a doubt, working with Leslie has accelerated our business growth. Her experience is vast in the industry which allows her to be not only diverse, but graceful as we navigated through, (what can be) a challenging process. Her teaching skills are also a gift. She is clear and generous. She breaks down each step with the intent to make our team capable and strong on our own: True leadership.

We also hired Leslie to assist us in our brand promotion and social media outreach. Her knowledge of not only the interior design business, but of all social media platforms, has earned the title “Social Media Marketing GURU!”

Leslie is a well-read, informed, consummate professional with impeccable manners and presentation. Leslie never missed a deadline! She provides old-school customer service and high-tech knowledge and sophistication. If  you are looking to increase your social media reach and knowledge, target your customer base to increase your company’s profit and authentic visibility, then I highly recommend hiring Leslie.

Leslie also has the knowledge and experience to provide specific training to implement the overall strategies, advising on all aspects of digital and social media marketing, including expertise in creating 24/7 income using digital strategies. Leslie has been invaluable to me in my business. She opened my eyes to possibilities, and opportunities and helped me understand what I had to do to implement, even down to the granular level. She created a roadmap to growth.

Sally and I would highly recommend Savour Partnership if you are considering rebranding, designing a new website, need creative copywriting that enhances your brand, social media training, social media ad campaigns and/or brand amplification.

What we thought was a simple website re-design, during our first teleconference meeting Leslie showed us why, without first rebranding, a website and updated blog would be a waste of time and money. She guided us thru the complexities of rebranding and the new website/blog design - helping us find the right web designer, selecting the sites images and writing all it’s copy. She showed us why we should use certain images vs. others. Simple, bold and graphic.

We knew very little about how to use Instagram, Facebook and Twitter effectively. With the patience of Job, Leslie showed/taught us the “how and why” of each platform. Same with our blog, Design Cognoscenti.

Her introductions have opened doors we never knew existed. Our presence in the Boston area is stronger than ever, thanks to how she managed our FB advertising campaign. The current Amara Blog Award opportunity is icing on the cake.

Best of all, potential and new clients are now starting to contact us and they are wonderful people. (Remember Branding?) They are finding us via places that are new, Pinterest for example, and the projects’ scope are bigger.

We are blessed to have had the opportunity to work with you. Sally and I know our professional paths will cross again!

Dear Leslie:

Thank you for your time on the phone today. I learned more about marketing and monetizing my app in our 20 minute conversation about it than I have in the last year and a half scouring the internet. Looking forward to working with you on this project.

If you believe in synchronicity then you will appreciate how perfect my meeting Leslie Carothers really is. I was exploring the idea of starting a blog on my interior design website  with the intention of creating affiliate sales. I knew very little about this so I began to do my  research before jumping in. I was finding bits and pieces of information, but not enough for  me to feel confident about allocating time and money to get this started. I needed to find  someone to help. In January I got an email with the subject line: ZUO’s Winter 2019 Dallas Market.

If you are anything like me, you don’t bother to open a lot of emails. I think I spend more time doing a  “group delete” than I do reading emails. So, here’s where the synchronicity happens. For  some reason I did open this particular email and found an announcement about Leslie  speaking on Passive Income for Designers. Wow! Really?

I reached out to Leslie and was very impressed with her depth of knowledge, great ideas  and her passion for interior design and helping people grow their businesses. As a former  interior designer, she knows and understands the issues we face. I am now working with Leslie and her partner Sam Henderson to implement all of the great ideas and products they offer to grow the new blogging/passive income branch of my interior design business. 

As the saying goes, “When the student is ready the teacher appears” and what a great  teacher she is. Leslie is an expert in this area, a social media maven and one of the nicest, kindest,  sincerest people you could ever meet.

She knows so many accomplished people in this  industry and her reach is very long. She also hosts a Facebook Page called DesignWealth - a closed group with 1600 members.

She is a prolific and entertaining social media contributor with a focus on helping the members of the group improve their businesses and stay on top  of important developments in the interior design world.  In addition to my interior design business I also have a line of furniture, Casa Marrón. I  asked Leslie to help me improve my Instagram account for this business. Even though I  have paid for professional social media help with Instagram before, I was not happy with my  account. Leslie immersed herself in Casa Marrón and not only has she changed the visual  appeal of the account, but she has re-branded it as well. I am meeting so many great designers that are excited about the furniture and every day I am getting multiple designer  registrations on the website - something that never happened before Leslie did her magic.  In a very short time she has moved the needle more than I have been able to do for years! So, there is my story about asking for what you want, allowing synchronicity to step in and  meeting a very lovely, special person to guide you down the path. For any of you reading  this that might be considering the idea of augmenting your design business with passive  income and want to learn from a pro about the incredible value of marketing with social  media, then you need not look any further. Leslie Carothers is her name.

I have worked with Leslie on a few social media lessons for me to put in place for future earnings. The amount of information she shares is quite insane. Her knowledge for all this, which I thought I was pretty savvy about, is beyond anything I truly understood. I will be using her services again, of course, but wanted to let you know that if you are looking for someone to help you, look no further.

I wanted to take a moment to say how impressed I was working with Leslie Carothers and Sam Henderson on the email optin mini magazine for my new site. From the minute I reached out to Leslie, it was clear I was dealing with two very knowledgeable people.

As an organized person, I was very appreciative of how Leslie and Sam helped me gather the information I needed to provide to them. For each step, there were clear and succinct instructions. The entire process had a very quick turnaround time and my email opt in has never looked so good. Thank you, Leslie and Sam, for creating exactly what I was looking for.

I think many of you would agree that this is time to be positive and count our blessings even when it is a challenge.

At the onset of the pandemic, my business started facing some big obstacles and deteriorated rapidly. This had never happened to me in the nearly twenty years in business. I was in a panic...More like a train wreck.. That’s when the universe brought Leslie to my world and as one of her newer clients, she has worked wonders in her kind, logical, and professional way. I am off and running and can see so many opportunities around me that I am re-energized, focused, and productive. So if your business has been affected or you have serious concerns about how to navigate in the future, don’t waste time worrying, and reach out to Leslie. She is a gem in our industry!

11 years ago, I met Leslie at a social media conference in New York. I listened to her speak about Twitter, a new marketing platform soon to become a necessary everyday tool for us entrepreneurs to connect with our clients. As an emerging expert in this new field of marketing, she spoke with authority and confidence. 

I reached out to her via Twitter back then, and now all these years later, she continues to be my go-to person when I begin a new project. With her help, we’ve brainstormed ideas to reach my target audience. She’s helped me understand how to reach my customers by storytelling and fine tuning my online presence. 

Her ability to see the bigger picture has proven critical for me to achieve clarity in my business. I respect her constructive criticism and honestly believe she cares for my company’s success and those I serve. 

I think Leslie is indispensable for any business because she offers a proper understanding of the marketplace. She is a true mentor with a big hears that helps us understand our industry’s role to help our clients.
