Linda Hollander - The Wealthy Bag Lady
June 10, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Linda Hollander is known as the “Wealthy Bag Lady”. She is the author of the #1 best-selling book, Bags to Riches: 7 Success Secrets for Women in Business. A popular international speaker, she is the industry leader in teaching entrepreneurial women about small business success. Her powerful strategies will change your life forever.
As the founder of the Women’s Small Business Expo, she has engineered massive empowerment events that take place every year all over the country.
She was nominated for the best women-owned business award by the National Assn. of Female Executives and she has over 20 years of experience in business, sales, marketing, design, promotion and creating lifetime customers. Her forthcoming book, Women Hold the Purse Strings, will give companies powerful strategies for marketing to women entrepreneurs. 
She started out worse than broke. She was buried in debt and couldn’t find a way out of the poverty trap. But that’s not what really bothered her. It was that she was short and had frizzy hair to boot.
She and her best friend, Sheryl Felice, used their girl-power to the max. They launched a packaging business called The Bag Ladies which sells custom-printed shopping bags to leading-edge companies. She searched long and hard for the best method of building a successful business, and decided to create her own success formula using pieces of the puzzle she collected from the world’s top business and financial experts.
Her company, The Bag Ladies, was formed in 1988. She devised a sales and marketing plan which made the fledgling business profitable in a very short amount of time. As revenues for the company increased every year, she met entrepreneurial women, understood what motivates them and how she could increase their success. By the way, she is still short with frizzy hair. Hey, some things you just can’t change.
Disney, Cisco Systems, Mattel, Universal Studios, Nissan, Yamaha, Sony, Revlon, Dunn Edwards Paints, Sanyo Fisher, Avery Dennison, Day Runner, Columbia Tri Star, CBS, Robinson’s May, Casio Phone Mate, Gold’s Gym, City of Hope, Union Bank, ASCAP, Powerade, Kaiser Permanente, IBM, Spelling Television, Edison, Variety, Ocean Spray, Sears and Infiniti are some of her clients. Her passions are business, sponsorships, marketing, promotion and packaging (she is a “Bag Lady”, after all).
Linda Hollander owes her success to the wonderful people in her life: Her parents, Bob and Blossom Hollander, Rhoda and Howard Goldie, and her best friend, Sheryl Felice. She lives in Los Angeles, California with her husband, Leslie Greenfield, and their two cats, Carmella and Sneakers.
