Ihave previously introduced you to a few of our speakers for #IndieCruise 2016. Just in case you missed them, they are me, Anne-Marie Faiola, and Stacia Guzzo. Today, I am thrilled to share a new speaker, Roberta Perry from Scrubz Natural Skincare in Bethpage, New York.
Join me in welcoming Roberta, as we prepare to gather at the beautiful Club Med Luxury Resort & Spa in Cancún, Yucatán, Mexico on January 17 – 21, 2016.
Roberta's topic is How to Get Media Attention For Your Business on a Budget.
As you may recall, our theme for #IndieCruise2016 Mastermind is Make | Market | Monetize (more about that here), and Roberta is a pro at all three, but she has a special knack for being featured in all kinds of media outlets on a regular basis. If you have not heard Roberta's story, you can enjoy it on Season 3, Episode 8, of the Indie Business Podcast.
More About Roberta
Roberta is the founder & co-owner of Scrubz Body Skincare, a company that creates handcrafted products from natural ingredients that make your good skin great. It all started when Roberta needed a dry skin solution and found that the skin products on the market failed to meet her expectations. She felt like the products in most stores were either filled with artificial ingredients and/or colors, didn’t do what they promised, or the scents were not quite right.
This led Roberta on a quest to make her own products. She conducted extensive research on ingredients … what they did, where they came from … where they could be sourced …. how they benefited the skin, etc. Ultimately, her sister, Michelle Tucker (who is also joining us on #IndieCruise) became her best tester, and today, she is her business partner!
Roberta is a master at leveraging her brand story, her retail store, her local non-profit endeavors, and her business and customer service acumen to attract all kinds of media attention for her business. She and Scrubz have been featured in dozens of beauty and business blogs, along with local television and newspapers, and at events hosted by organizations like Newsday. She's even appeared on the Dr. Oz Show!

Roberta is all about Local Small Business
Here is why Roberta tells me she cares about small businesses.
I believe that local businesses, run by local people, are truly the backbone of society. They are the glue that keeps towns and cities together and thriving. They are the extra helpers, community fund raisers, team sponsors or coaches, and the shop owners that remember not only who you are, but what your preferences are.
Her philosophy is so in line with what the Indie Business Network is all about. She is a perfect speaker for our Mastermind retreat.
