All of these experiences grew her personally and professionally and laid a strong foundation for her move to national and international prominence as an entrepreneur. Martha also recognizes the importance of her unpaid vocations and commitments— wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, daughter-in-law, sister, friend, encourager, Bible teacher at sewing events, prayer warrior and volunteer.
Most everyone reading this realizes that these roles are the most time consuming and that an entire book could be dedicated to listing specific tasks in each of these important roles. With all the interesting and varied vocational directions Martha pursued along the way, she is most well known for her success as an entrepreneur, which all began when she was age 14 in Scottsboro, AL and started her first business: the Martha Campbell School of Dance.
In the entrepreneurial world, Martha is best known as a leader in the heirloom sewing industry, which began in a tiny retail shop in Huntsville, AL. In , two months after opening that shop, Martha began importing laces and fabrics to sell wholesale and retail by mail order.
Next, the Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion was launched in Huntsville, AL which eventually brought women to Huntsville twice a year for a week of sewing education. The number, size, frequency and economic impact of your meetings, conventions and events is truly substantial. While Martha was not the first to import French laces, companies in New York and Florida were her only competition.
She sourced laces through dental friends of her husband, Dr. Joe Pullen. He had friends in Switzerland and France, and they opened the doors and found resources for exquisite laces. Martha and Joe got on a plane, traveled to Europe, and made connections with European sources that supplied her company. It was at that time she knew that the Martha Pullen Company would be a leader in the sewing industry.
