bpw|member SPOTLIGHT
Suzi Youngberg
I moved to the Keys 19 years ago with my husband, Scott, from Chattanooga, Tenn., and until recently, I lived the life of the traveling salesperson -- coming home to the Keys on weekends.
A few years ago, Scott went through cancer treatment. Thankfully, it was successful and he is doing well. But going through that experience with him made me realize more than ever how precious and short life is. It made me not want to waste more of my life doing something that didn’t make me happy.
Last fall, I started my own company, Suzi’s Promoplans. Suzi’s Promoplans is a franchise of my father-in-law’s business, Promoplans, in Tennessee. We provide promotional products…basically any type of logo’d products including ink pens, mugs, koozies, caps, T-shirts, embroidered polos, fishing shirts, banners, tents and more.
I also work with Florida Keys Media in radio advertising. My goal is to help local businesses be more successful through strategic marketing and advertising.
I’m co-owner and writer for Humans of the Keys. I love writing about Keys' residents, and have met so many great people! Writing is one of my passions; I also have a blog, Suzi’s World, and I write songs with Scott.
Since I stopped traveling for a living, I have been able to get involved in so many things that weren’t possible for years. Joining the Upper Keys BPW was the first thing I did last September when I made the decision to start my own business.
It is such an incredible group of supportive women, and I am honored to be in the spotlight this month!
