"I've hired Diane’s company again and again because she always out performs, always provides superlative service, and clearly cares about the quality of her product. The first time I hired her was when I was VP Marketing at Earthlink. I needed her to get a big job done – our first company shirts – manufactured in 48 hours and deliver to my home before I headed to COMDEX. Our regular vendor said “forget it.” Diane got it done, the work was exemplary, the cost reasonable, and she did it with a smile. I haven’t looked back. She has never let me down."
— William Widmaier, was Diane's client

"I have hired Diane's company over the past 13 years at various different companies that I worked at, for various different marketing needs from trade show gadgets to colorful junior sized painting aprons displaying company logo etc . She has always come through and made me look great in a timely fashion! She has great ideas. She has very high integrity. She is always on time even when it has seemed impossible. She is a veteran in her field and knows throughly how to get the job done as a professional. I would not hesitate to hire her in the future -she is always first on my list when I need marketing gear."

"I used Diane's company, Sidelines, last year for some promotional items for my company, Precision Wordage Inc. The products were delivered on time, with high quality, and came out looking exactly like we anticipated. Diane's prices were the best (I shopped the job), and her care and attention to the job was much more than I'd anticipated. I've since recommended her services to others (with the same result), and would not hesitate to do so again. Best, Su Falcon, President, Precision Wordage Inc."
