Salado · Bell County
Know which visitors, events and products pay off for your Salado business
Salado's economy runs on visitors. Shoppers on Main Street, weekend guests at the inns and B&Bs, couples booking a venue a year out, and the crowds that come in for festivals and holiday events. I help Salado businesses see where that money comes from and spend less time chasing bookings by hand.
What I see around here
Most Salado businesses are small and owner-run, and busy seasons are really busy. The data tends to live in five places at once: the point-of-sale, a booking calendar, an inbox full of venue inquiries, an Instagram account and a notebook by the register.
Common questions I hear from businesses like these:
- Boutiques and galleries: which products and which weekends actually carry the year?
- Inns, B&Bs and venues: how many inquiries turn into bookings, and how fast do we reply?
- Restaurants and bars: what do event weekends do to sales and staffing?
- Event organizers: which events bring people back, and which just bring traffic?
What I build for businesses here
- Sales and season dashboards that pull from your POS so you can compare weekends, events and product lines.
- Inquiry and booking follow-up, so a venue or room inquiry gets a quick reply and doesn't sit in an inbox.
- Visitor and event reports for the shops and organizations that want to show what an event did for the town.
All of it runs on the systems you already use. AI helps with some of the busywork; you stay in charge of the guest experience.
Local nonprofits and schools
Salado has an active set of schools, arts groups and civic organizations. I build annual reports and board dashboards from data you already have, so boards and donors see clear results.
Coming soon: a write-up of a volunteer project with a Salado school (no fee).

Meet in person
Salado is a short drive from Harker Heights, and I'm glad to meet in person. I also go to Salado chamber events like Business After Hours and Stroll Salado when I can.
