I hear great things about you from Jan at Contract Furnishings in Portland. (She says we are very alike!) Have to investigate further. When I complete an interior or remodel, I host a 'celebration party'. Very similar to what you decribed but this occurs in their home with friends they include and others I invite to see my work. NO hard sell just fun and interaction. Works very well for me. I look forward to following you now that Jan shared your name. Faith Hi Liz.

I would love to know what you've been doing to bring in business during these "unsettled" times. Bringing in other vendors gives the night more of an "event" feel rather than an advertisement for your store. There are some other interesting ideas that retailers have given me and I will be posting soon. Stay tuned! Thank you for recommending the article. Soon I will be sending out a free e-book to anyone signing up to receive my blog posts. Thanks again, Lisbeth Hi Joe, thank you for taking the time to reply to my post.

I am a good friend of Mike Fishman, and Sam Allman. I am also on the Mohawk Floorscapes advisory board. I have had many conversations with these friends and peers about this subject. I have not heard anyone talk about bringing other complimentry venders in. Great Idea. You added a nice feminin (forgive the spelling), touch with these Ideas. This will go a long way. I will be recommending this article to many of my constituents. Great Job. Joe Hi Liz, My name is Joe Montemagni and I own Baystate Rug and Flooring in Chicopee, Mass..
