Today we’d like to introduce you to Paige Marlow.
Paige, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
In December of 2007, I graduated from the University of Alabama with a Masters in Family Financial Planning and Counseling and moved to Atlanta. To earn money while I was looking for a position in Wealth Management I made up flyers and put them on my neighbor’s mailboxes advertising organization, cleaning and errand running services. I quickly became very busy. Little did I know, that during my search for a career in Wealth Management I would establish a business that highlights my biggest strength and quality: organization.
Ironically, as my Wealth Management career grew so did my business. In 2010, I had a few regular clients that just wanted me to organize their homes so I decided to place a name on my business and that is when STRAIGHTEN UP by Paige was born.
Has it been a smooth road?
Working full time and growing my own personal business makes for very long hours and really busy weekends. The hard work, support from my friends and family and dedication have paid off. STRAIGHTEN UP by Paige almost doubles in growth each year.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
STRAIGHTEN UP by Paige is a full-service home organization company specializing in creating stylish and functional spaces through the art of organization. STRAIGHTEN UP by Paige is based in Atlanta, but available nationwide. I currently have clients in Atlanta, Miami, Nashville and New York.
My clients are all so different with many different goals and priorities. I work with fashionistas wanting to create a glamorous and organized closet space, organizing pantries for moms trying to stay sane while managing a household full of kids and work for home professionals desiring an organized and stylish workspace.
99% of my clients come from referrals and calls telling me they loved the work I did in another client’s home and would like for me to organize their home as well. The most rewarding part of my job is knowing I’ve changed day to day life for someone by creating calm in the midst of the craziness of life.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Atlanta is one of the best places to start and grow a business, especially an organization business. Even though I have some clients outside of Atlanta, there will always be plenty of homes that will need organizing here so I would highly recommend other organizers to start their business in Atlanta as well.
