I developed copy for various advertising materials for a Tampa Bay Interior Design company, “Design Distinctions.” The owner of Design Distinctions, Susan Jackson, expressed her desire to have her customers stick with her for the entire design process. Her main target audience can be classified as “empty nesters,” which are older parents whose children are now older and moving out.
