Sayin' It Loud LLC (Charles County-based)
Owners Bill Snitcher and Chris Allen worked for the So MD Blue Crabs baseball organization. They felt there was a business opportunity in a particular niche of "vehicle marketing wraps" which they refer to as "transit advertising". After lots of research, including interaction with Bill Hitte at the SBDC, they set up Sayin' It Loud LLC in April 2010. After months of meetings and marketing efforts, they signed the first contract in late July 2010 - an exclusive contract to sell vehicle wrap advertising on the Charles County VanGO public transit buses.
Over the past two years, Sayin' It Loud has picked up contracts for the Dillon's Bus Service and Keller Co. commuter buses. At this point, Sayin' It Loud holds the advertising rights to roughly 100 transit buses operating in Southern Maryland. They are also actively looking at other marketing opportunities outside of the Southern Maryland region.

Tracey Eno, Owner
What led you to be an entrepreneur?
At age 26, I decided that my work should be something that had a positive impact on people. After my first massage in Arizona, I knew that the gift of helping people access mind/body relaxation was my calling. I love connecting with people and reminding them of their true nature (peaceful and compassionate). Click to read more.
