Gifts by the Sea
 Advertising is vital to growing your business. It can also be a daunting and challenging task to select the best way to convey your message. Word of mouth will trump any form of advertising every time!! We all want to support local business wherever we are residing. When I moved to San Clemente, I too wanted to support our commerce but I didn't want to settle on mediocre business. I wanted to work with and support extra-ordinary business. I found myself on Yelp, Angies List, the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce website and relied of course on personal experience to find exceptional business. And so began my business, Gifts By The Sea. I represent and share with homeowners the best plumber, the best maid service, the best dentist, local restaurants and everything in between. We personally visit the homeowner and share your business with them.
Let's see if we are a fit and can increase your business together, homeowner by homeowner!
