Marketing & business support for women since 2011
Hello, gorgeous.
You’re in exactly
the right place.
Whether you want more customers, more sales, more confidence in your marketing, or you’d just love a bit more money at the end of the month, you’ll find it here.
I’m Claire Mitchell, and I’ve been helping women market their businesses since 2011. You don’t need a marketing degree, a massive budget or all day on social media. You need to know what to do next.
Why not start by taking the quiz and getting your free personalised marketing plan? Or if you already know you want some help, join the Small Business Marketing Club and get a new marketing plan every month, co-working sessions, a live clinic with me and years of training in the vault.

Hello, I’m Claire
I live in beautiful North Yorkshire with my lovely family, Meggie the dog and a flock of rescue chickens.
I’m Claire Mitchell, and I started The Girls Mean Business back in 2011 because I wanted to help women build businesses that actually make them money, without needing a marketing degree, a massive budget or all day to spend messing around on social media.
These days I help women work out how to get more people seeing their business, turn that attention into customers and sales, and make marketing feel a lot less complicated.
