GreenBuild 2008

Posted on December 29th, 2008 in General, Grow Your Sales, Green Plantscaping | No Comments »

Over 30,000 showed up this past November in Boston MA for the 7th annual GreenBuild Show.  Attendees were impressed with the Seminar offerrings as well as the Huge Trade Show of "Green" Vendors.  This impressive attendance again shows that the Environment is still a very hot topic.  In fact, several were heard to say that "if you are not in a Green Business, forget about it. 

What does this mean for interiorscapers?  Its another bullet in your holster.  Learn about Green and how our products and services are green and say green.

Lastly, I want to wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year.  Go get ‘em Tiger.

Holiday Decor is up and in a few days you’ll be taking it down.  How fast time flies. 

For all of you, I wish a Happy and Healthy New Year and a Wonderful Season.  Enjoy your family and friends and, most of all, stay upbeat and positive about the coming year. 

Know that I appreciate your friendship and if, in the coming year, I can be of some help….you know where to find me.  Lastly, if Alan K is reading this post, Alan, please contact me.  I no longer have your email or phone.  Now go out there and get ‘em Tigers and remember to take photos of all your Holiday work!

My Memory Isn’t What It Used To Be

Posted on December 12th, 2008 in General, Holiday, Grow Your Sales, Competitive Advantage | No Comments »

My memory just isn’t what it used to be.  Thats why I find myself writing lists, sometimes I even write lists of the lists!  Now for those jobs you have that you do weekly or biweekly, they become indelibly etched in your brain.  But what about Holiday jobs?  They only happen once a year and sometimes we just forget.

That’s why I highly recommend reviewing all of the posts in the Holiday Category (click on Holiday under Categories to the right of this blog).  I guarantee you find a relevant, helpful tidbit that could save you $$ and or time.

Now go out there and get ‘em, Tiger.
