Responsibility:

Pamela brings over 30 years of retail and marketing experience to BannerView.com, most notably from the national specialty retailer, Gallery of History, Inc., which she co-founded and served as EVP and acting COO for 22 years and took public on NASDAQ. As one of few women in Nevada who co-founded a nationally-based, publicly-traded corporation, she is credited in the field of historical documents for using merchandising prowess and turning a niche collectible limited to 300 collectors in the early 1980s and transforming it into a demand-based product and industry for the masses resulting in $49mm cumulative sales of 32,000 items sold to a luxury, discretionary audience. She built a national store network in tourist-driven destinations. She is also credited as an early pioneer in high end specialty retail in employing the use of multi-channel sales distribution networks beyond the sole dependency of brick and mortar. Her expertise in strategic retail brand development, methods of converting impulsive, one-time buying tourists into long term, long distance, repeat-buying customers, and niche product marketing, not only resulted in her company's success, but in the success of her consultancy practice, the Ring Retail Advisory, LLC,
