Tracie Fitch's Page

I decided to start my own full-time graphic design/web design business in 2001, Fitch Advertising - www.fitchadvertising.com, after working for several years in Advertising/Publishing & working with small local Newspapers & Magazines, started a local boutique directory called TriangleBoutiques.com and have recently decided to begin a new adventure last year, hence, The Shopping Memo.

The Shopping Memo is a FREE local online guide, blog & E-Memo that feature's the latest inside scoop on What's Hot, What's Happening, & What's New in Boutique Shopping, Fashion & Lifestyles in the Raleigh and surrounding Triangle, North Carolina area. We are your local Shopping, Fashion & Lifestyle Blog website source to keep you in the know.

It's all about "Taking Notes on Life’s Little Luxuries in the South."

Think of us as your personal, smart, fun, internet-savvy local shopper to give you the INSIDE SCOOP on cool New Boutiques, Exclusive Sales, Fabulous Events, Sweet Treats, and much more.

We are dedicated to the growth and prosperity of our local business community and our Mission is to brand and promote the unique independently-owned retail shops and small businesses in the Triangle area as well as discover and provide the inside source to all that is fabulous in Raleigh and beyond.

I also provide Hip, Trendy & Modern logo design, website design, e-commerce, email marketing, blog design, ad design, internet marketing, search engine marketing campaigns and just about everything you need to establish your Brand in the marketplace, a complete identity & marketing package. Our main focus is in the Boutique, Lifestyle & Retail industries.

I'm just your average 30-something, some-what Fashion-Forward, Coffee addict(frozen and lattes), Shopaholic, Internet Savvy Web Designer, Mom and Wife, who loves to talk, shop, meet new people, take notes & dish out the inside scoop about "life's little luxuries of the south".

I am originally from Ohio, moved to North Carolina in 1997, married to the most wonderful husband and best friend, and have a beautiful 16 year old daughter, who I completely adore, and enjoy.

I love the beach, the mountains, and meeting new people. When I am not working (which is rare), I love spending time with my friends and family, love to travel to cool and unique places, and discover more about the beautiful state of North Carolina and love supporting local businesses. Oh and I loooovvvveee to shop! You probably already knew that.

I am looking forward to meeting some great new people here!
