Business: Ideaction Consulting
IDEACTION CONSULTING
Plenty of educators have no problem sharing their secrets. “Here’s what I did to be successful,” they tell you.
But you don’t want to hear their success story.
You want to know how your success story is going to be written.
You see, we believe the best educators don’t make the process about what they’ve done to earn your admiration.
It should be about what we’re going to do for your aspirations.
Paper Goods: Lettered Olive
THE SOUTH'S PREMIERE EVENT DESIGNER, TARA GUÉRARD launched Lettered Olive as a way to provide her clients with the very best stationery options possible. After finding no resources that catered to her level of taste and quality, Tara began working exclusively with the area's leading designers to create and develop stunning invitation suites, all customized with each bride in mind. The feedback was overwhelming and the demand for this unique service quickly grew. With their collaborative effort, Tara and graphic designer Julia Shuman immediately went to work on creating their first ready to order collection. Lettered Olive is available to any bride who wishes for beauty and impeccable style.
