Timothy Beachley

Timothy Beachley

Timothy Beachley is the entrepreneurial force behind Beachley Medical Office Solutions. This company delivers extensive products to healthcare facilities, including specialized marketing materials, office furniture, and medical uniforms. Under his leadership, the company has significantly expanded its service range, making it an essential provider for healthcare offices, and optimized its delivery processes to enhance customer satisfaction.

Established in 1991, the company was born out of his recognition of a continuous demand for medical office supplies. He noted the challenges medical practices faced, particularly those with limited storage space, which hindered their ability to maintain extensive inventories. He crafted a business model centered around quick delivery to address this gap. This strategy enabled the company to grow from a small team of three in a regional office to a robust organization with more than 20 employees, serving a national clientele from its White Marsh, MD headquarters. The company's growth is primarily due to its exceptional customer service and the expertise of its account managers.

He also saw the need for customized business materials to help small medical practices enhance their brand identity. Consequently, he expanded his offerings to include customized, HIPAA-compliant operational materials such as forms, which are vital for the daily running of these practices.

He introduced a custom website to cater to the growing need for bespoke medical apparel. This initiative allows healthcare providers to order personalized medical uniforms, facilitating the easy design and procurement of branded apparel like scrubs and lab coats, which are essential for maintaining a professional image in healthcare settings.

Additionally, he addressed the specialized needs for office furnishings in medical settings by forming partnerships with furniture distributors. This move enabled him to offer quality yet affordable furniture options that meet the specific requirements of medical practices, focusing on modular designs that provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Furthermore, he has utilized his marketing prowess to expand into promotional products. He provides a broad range of customized promotional items designed to improve brand recognition and promote growth among his clientele, encompassing everything from office stationery to lifestyle products.

Timothy Beachley's leadership at Beachley Medical Office Solutions has made it an indispensable partner to healthcare providers, supplying them with products and services that enhance operational efficiency and brand visibility. His commitment to innovation, customer service, and quality assurance continues to shape the company's success in the medical supply industry.

I published a book:
NFT School For Artists
An Artist’s Guide To Creating And Selling Non-Fungible Tokens, Building A Community, And Making A Living With Digital Royalties Even if You Have No Experience

The book helps artists understand and use NFT technology in their lives and work. I also do one-on-one consulting on this topic.
I love talking to artists and helping them to get into space.

Three things I believe in are:
- Telling your story
- Personal Branding
- Building a Community

This is the only true way you will ever be able to live off your art.

Last year, I spoke at a conference - https://web3tales.io/ - NFT minting workshop.
This year I spoke at the NFT NYC - https://bit.ly/4aQnu2K - on the topic of Ai, Art, and NFTs.

Looking forward to more opportunities to share my knowledge and vision :)
