INSPIRATION

Like many small businesses, Storied Lane Marketing is inspired by family, and it is named in honor of Katelyn's late grandmother.

​

During a time when women were discouraged from the workplace, Katelyn's grandmother was a salesperson in the furniture business, often taking trips for sales calls and markets. She was strong in the face of adversity with a fierce belief in herself, which she also instilled in those she loved. From a young age, Katelyn's grandmother taught her to have confidence in herself and envision herself as a leader. She was a true matriarch and one of the most formative figures in Katelyn's life, and her memory lives on in the hearts of her family -- and now in Storied Lane as well.

​

Storied Lane is also inspired by Katelyn's grandfathers, both of whom owned small family businesses in Pennsylvania. One of these multi-generational businesses is still run by family today, and Katelyn has wonderful memories of visiting and learning about its history throughout her life.

​

Small businesses are personal, and they should be. They are the backbone of families and the communities they serve, and they each have a special story to tell. Through Storied Lane Marketing, Katelyn helps small businesses do just that.
