Testimonials
I have know these ladies for over twenty years and I can say that they ran two of the most successful retail operations in the bridal and social occasion industry. Gail owned CC's Bridal Boutique in Florida and Janice owned Madeleine's Daughter in New Hampshire. Gail and Janice have sold their successful retail operations and these fine stores still prosper today under new management. I attribute the continued success of these stores in great part to the training that both Gail and Janice imparted to their buyers. They always new what to buy, how to operate their stores with pride, how to motivate staff and how to make their clients special. Their success can be your success as well. So many retailers struggle in today's economic climate and waste time and money making critical mistakes. Education is power.................I could not recommend any consultants more highly then these two individuals.

You don’t become Retailer of the Year by yourself. It takes many mentors along the way, and Gail Malecot and Janice Wood were two of the most influential business voices I listened to. When I wanted to move this business to the next level, they took my hand and guided me through the process Any business would benefit from the expertise of Malecot and Wood.

I have had the most fortunate opportunity to have worked with Janice Wood for many years. During that time, I have witnessed her astute professionalism and unquestionable leadership in the bridal industry. As my Malecot & Wood consultant she has provided me with a solid foundation of bridal retail tools: inventory control, employee and vendor relations, marketing and advertising strategies. I am kept on task with her support, impeccable organizational skills and follow through.
Malecot & Wood Consulting services are an asset to any business!

To Whom It May Concern:
I have worked with Janice Wood of Malecot & Wood Bridal Shop Experts since May of 2010. Janice has been my “life support” in more ways than one in regards to opening, owning and managing my own bridal shop. She boasts a caring and sincere demeanor, she is a good listener and always there to answer all of my questions. She always gives examples of situations that can or may take place and how she would handle it. It feels good to speak with someone that is experienced in this field and can speak from real life situations. I would highly recommend others to utilize her services. She is a joy to work with and I look forward to continue working with her for future endeavors.
Thank You,
