Two More Hands Overview

Two More Hands was created by Tammy Copeland. Tammy is a native of Southern NJ and is currently a resident of Charlotte, NC. With over 19 years of dedicated and diverse work experience in various industries such as hospitality, construction, retail, and sales, Tammy grew to understand the importance of time management along with creating efficiency in order to increase the quality of life and productivity in both the workplace and at home.

An entrepreneur at heart, Tammy wanted to start a business that had a profound impact on the lives of individuals. As a mother of 3, she has a talent for multi tasking, keen eye for detail, and her optimistic attitude, it’s no surprise she decided to open Two More Hands, a personal assistant / concierge service tailored to help busy individuals organize their life.

My background is quite varied. Born and raised in Aruba, I speak five languages: Dutch, English, Spanish, French, and Papiamento (the dialect of the Antilles). I moved to the United States in 1969, to complete my education, ultimately graduating from Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland, where I met my husband. We are the proud parents of two adults.

In May 2008 I was elected by my peers to The Leadership Counsel, a group of 10 franchise owners, who represent the voice of the 500+ franchise owners in the U.S. as well as Canada.

Business Blogging

Corporate/Business Blogging has become a popular tool to increase traffic to a corporate site, inform the public, connect with customers and share information in a casual and informative way about corporate news, policies, events and more. But keeping up on writing these blogs and making sure that they are linked properly is a lot of work—often sometimes the internal marketing staff or small business owner is unable to accommodate into their schedules.

I will work with your team to provide ongoing content writing on a blog platform which will demonstrate your authenticity and dedication to communicating with your prospects, clients or staff.

Business Blogging is an affordable and accessible way to reach your customers and get found on the search engines!
