Perry Productions Named 2016 Small Business of the Year by Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce

By -
Perry Productions was recently named the 2016 Small Business of the Year by the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce. The award, sponsored by F&M Bank, is given to companies with fewer than 500 employees.

Brian and Lisa Perry began Perry Productions as a newly married couple transplanted from Ohio to Cabarrus County over 20 years ago working as technical writers and publishers for their first client, Electric Power Research Institute, that continues to still be one of their largest clients today.

Recognizing the importance of the internet and website design for businesses early on, they added website development to their services. One of their first web/social media clients was the Gem Theatre in Kannapolis. The success they garnered through that account brought them many more businesses and nonprofits, and they began to grow rapidly.
In 2013, Lisa was contracted by Constant Contact to speak on email marketing and social media. In 2014, Perry Productions added social media management as a more prominent service resulting in 15 monthly retainer accounts that have made tremendous impacts in revenue and awareness for their clients.
After working out of their home for 20 years, Perry Productions decided it was time to move their office to Synergy Office Suites at the Old Creamery to obtain a more prominent location within the business community to accommodate their growing staff and offer more accessibility to their clients. They quickly outgrew that and in 2016, Brian and Lisa purchased a historic home in downtown Concord that is the new location of Perry Productions.

Our ribbon cutting for our new location is scheduled for May 17, 2017. This will be an all-day drop in celebration with the official ribbon cutting scheduled for 4:30pm.

Why this 46-Year Old Woman Is Obsessed with March Madness

Every year, there are four days in March that completely distract me from my regular life. On basketball courts all over the country, battles are waged between Davids and Goliaths with lower seeded teams trying to make it to the Big Dance to become Cinderella and I simply cannot get enough. While I have loved playing the game since I was a scrappy guard on my Boardman, Ohio girl's basketball team, it is the stories that unravel each year during the NCAA tournament that truly teach life lessons for me and millions of others around the country. For me, the NCAA basketball tournament is the perfect athletic competition that also offers many parallels to life. Yes, the BIG teams from the POWER conferences always end up with the number one seeds and deservedly so. But in no other sport do 64 other teams get an opportunity to live a dream and vie for a championship on an even playing field. And in no other sports competition is the gauntlet as difficult for those high seeds which is

Our Next 20 Years

As we prepare to move Perry Productions into our first brick and mortar offices ever at The Old Creamery , it is hard not to reflect on the past 21 years in business and what has been the magic formula that has allowed us to thrive, sometimes just survive, and to truly still love what we do.   It begins and ends with Brian and I, our belief in each other, the genuine relationship we build with our clients, and the work ethic we learned from our parents.  Brian and I moved to Charlotte, NC from Ohio after we both graduated from Ohio University. Here’s a newsflash: it was hard for an English and Art major to find a job in the industry in 1993, so he worked first for Rent-a-Center repossessing VCRs and then at a Debt Collection agency where he harassed people to pay their bills on the phone. I worked for a small newspaper in Pineville, doing the layout in QuarkXpress and literally pasting up the paper with wax every week. I also delivered the papers and met with clients to design t
