Get in front of her by remaining very present on multiple platforms. Remember she has very little time, so Google targeting, social media targeting, and SEO is all important. Print is not as important, but she does like to pick up local magazines. Personal recommendations from colleagues or friends go a long way for her, too. Just be sure to be easily searchable when she Googles you.
