Saving You Time & Money
DCB Writer’s Consultant
Owner/Operator: Daniel Chase Blosser
(936) 337-1915
DCB Writer's Consultant is the September Member Spotlight. Owner Chase Blosser shared, "The Goal of DCB Writer’s Consultant is to provide writing, editing, and research to anyone who needs such, from writers, and bloggers, to small business owners. DCB also focuses on helping those who need it, such as small business owners or organizations, maintain a constant and active online presence for their websites and social media pages. With DCB, you will get consistent good content to keep your online presence active and better serve your business or organization’s needs. I started DCB Writer’s Consultant because I love writing and want to share that love by offering it to those in need. Since joining the Chamber as a member, I have not only been able to find new clients to help my business grow but also made friendships with fellow business owners and operators and learned more about my community in Huntsville and Walker County. That is what being a chamber member is to me; more than just helping my business, it is about community and business owners helping each other."
