New to this forum

Hi All,

I am new to the forum and thought I would take a moment to introduce myself.

Name: Jackie
Company: Hometown Forecast Services, Inc. (HFS for short)
Occupation: Director, Marketing & Sales
Location: Nashua, NH

Background: In 2001 my husband and I started Hometown Forecast Services. He worked full time and I worked about 15 hrs a week supporting HFS in the beginning since I have a full time job and 2 children. I worked full time in the group insurance/financial services industry for 16 years and in 2005 after having my 3rd child decided to give up the full time job and work at Hometown Forecast Services. Now we have about 16 employees in total with our full time and part time staff. I serve as the Sales/Marketing Director as well as the Human Resource Director. HFS provides weather forecasts and 24 hour consultations to: Colleges/Universities, Airports, Municipalities, School Districts, Construction/Landscaping Companies, Risk Management,Utilities and Radio Stations across the U.S. and the Caribbean.

Why did I join the forum: I joined the forum to share ideas and hopefully ad information to insurance posts since I spent many years in the line of work. I also joined to forum to get ideas of trends that may start to emerge since some of our radio stations compensate us for our weather forecasts/consultations with radio ad time. So I have radio ad inventory on stations across New England and knowing what trends are starting will help me sell the radio ad time to businesses.

Looking forward to sharing ideas and suggestions.
