Darlene Petretta Spratt

Sales Associate

Darlene is a valued member of the Shows USA team. She joined Shows USA almost 2 years ago with over 24 years of experience helping businesses grow. Fourteen years in the consumer Home and Garden industry and 10 years of print advertising  as an Advertising Sales Manager at the Orange County Register, Orange County, California, and directory sales for Southwestern Bell in Southern California.

“Working in the consumer show business gives me great satisfaction. It allows me to combine my advertising background and help businesses reach their goals while building long term relationships through great customer service and careful attention to detail. Many of the exhibitors I have worked with have built their businesses by doing consumer shows. They capitalize on the show advertising to reach their targeted audience for the cost of a booth space. A GREAT bang for their buck!”

Darlene came to Southern California as a Navy brat when her father was transferred to San Diego and attended school in San Diego from the third grade. She is married to husband Ken, and has one married daughter who is attending nursing school. When not working, her “faves” are working in the garden, and anything Italian, since that is her heritage. “I love traveling to Italy, the food, the language, the history and art, and the amazingly friendly people.” Darlene is also the newly elected President of the House of Italy at Balboa Park!
