Meet Bill Glazer of Glam Sparkle n’ Glitz & Get Waisted

 

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bill Glazer.

In college, Bill drove a taxi on the weekends and ran the shipping department of a national retailer during the week.  Upon graduation from the University of Massachusetts, Bill joined that same national retailer as a district manager, and after years of hard work, operating stores in Boston, Houston and San Francisco, Bill was promoted to the corporate office as a member of the buying team, merchandising the nationwide chain. Climbing quickly, Bill was eventually promoted to Group President, overseeing 800 stores, with $1 Billion sales annually.

Today, Bill is the co-founder of Glam Sparkle n’ Glitz, a fashion retail store located in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida, and the founder of Get Waisted – The Unfanny Fanny Pack.

Get Waisted is a stylish alternative to bulky, unattractive fanny-packs and cumbersome bags, perfect for anyone with an active lifestyle.

With a pocket to hold a smartphone, two zippered compartments, and an outlet for easy headphone access, the belt keeps your hands free, so you can focus on things that matter. The sleek, fashionable belt easily zips around the waist and keeps all your possessions in place, whether you’re running, traveling, or lifting weights at the gym.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
In business, nothing is ever a “smooth road” – the greatest challenges and struggles in today’s business environment is to stand-out.

In a brick and motor retail environment (Glam Sparkle n’ Glitz), merchandise is everything. We design, develop and manufacture a good percentage of our offerings.

In the item business (Get Waisted), it is difficult to get noticed by the masses. Social Media and online exposure is a must. But controlling and protecting your item is as important as what the actual item is.

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I always say……… “it is better to be lucky, than smart.” But it doesn’t hurt if you have a good business background with a creative mind.
