Michelle Herrin,
Vice President of Sales, Alternate Image
Michelle has been doing marketing for quite some time now. She works with clients to offer consultations for online businesses or e-commerce websites and Internet marketing strategies. Michelle has worked a variety of industries and specializes in tourism/hospitality and real estate marketing. Before she worked at Alternate Image, Michelle managed the Internet marketing for a large local hotel. After becoming frustrated that there were no good, affordable booking engines available she asked her son, Jeff, to write a program for one. Thus, Alternate Image was born. When she is not meeting with prospective clients, Michelle spends many hours a day reading or listening to podcasts to stay up to date on the latest Internet marketing and SEO news. Due to the recent growth of the company, she no longer directly handles the Search Engine Optimization but continues to consult clients and provide marketing strategies for our website clients while also managing the sales team.
