Success for Windows (and, no, I'm not dissing my Macs!)


I couldn't take much longer to post a new entry on here; my deepest apologies to all of you fans out there. The AWFUL flu, a spring break train trip with my son and MUCH work have kept me away. Right now I'm focused on some really interesting and brain-busting challenges (my favorite kind), but I wanted to drop in for a quick note about last week's events.
Last week, Kim Godfrey (www.alwaysgenuineevents.com) and I finally gave our workshop on window and retail interior design techniques at the Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce. It was a huge success and we ended up with far more participants than we could have imagined. We packed in the front window-space area of the Chamber, looking out to the street and spoke about what we did to improve the window and interior space of that office. We shared some techniques, merchandising and retail tips and design methods to get the most bang for the buck and create a consistent, appealing look for the business. There was FANTASTIC interaction and dialogue amongst the particpants and some wonderful thoughts about getting my hometown of Port Clinton looking great.
Also, Kim and I seem to have hit a really fun niche for both of us to collaborate on this project (and maybe more workshops elsewhere, who knows?). We are looking forward to taking the show on the road and getting into some of these businesses that want our expertise and assistance to spruce up their images. I will surely keep you posted with some success stories and before/after shots as we get down and dirty and get going on some window designs.
If you would like to get a copy of the handout from our event with tips and information, please email me at amy@aha4creative.com and let me know so I can email or smail you a copy.
