Lisa Kipps-Brown started Glerin Business Resources in 1996 in Jacksonville, Florida. A CPA who was bored with accounting, she was intrigued with the idea of being able to use her business experience in a more creative way. Web development was the perfect fit and she ditched accounting to concentrate on helping business owners use the web in innovative ways to increase revenues, improve efficiency, and reduce expenses.

Use our 28 years in business to dominate your niche, your way, and take control of your life.

Let us introduce ourselves:

When we were invited by Virginia's Department of Housing and Community Development to speak about marketing to Virginia Main Street Community directors from across the state, we needed something helpful to give them to take back to the office. Our Quicky Guide to Social Media ended up being quite a hit! This poster is different from anything we've ever seen: It has dry erase blocks to let the user jot notes for planning their social media. The poster is 11"x17" - large enough to accommodate the dry erase blocks but small enough to not take up too much of the user's office wall.
