The Chamber is happy to present our Member Monday this week, Texas Ritas! If you have attended our Ambassador's BASHes, you would recognize the libations and bartenders they have provided, and they are also the official supplier for Texas Old Town. Texas Ritas provides margarita machines for your next big event or house party - they provide you with everything you need: the mixes (dependent on the number of guests you're expecting), the margarita machine (free delivery and pickup), cups, straws, and set-up! You provide the alcohol, and you have an instant party on your hands.

"Texas Ritas is family owned and operated, currently servicing Buda, Kyle, Manchaca, Dripping Springs, Driftwood, San Marcos and Austin. We are a team of professionals providing exceptional customer service. Texas Ritas is proud to offer you the highest quality Frozen Drink Machines at an affordable rental price."

Their website offers recipes and tips for using their machines. Their mixes are made with real fruit juice, and includes Triple Sec. For more information on how they can jazz up your next party at an affordable price, please visit www.TexasRitas.com.

But if your only goal is to be known for professional reasons, you're missing out. People who are memorable for the right reasons also live a richer, fuller, and more satisfying life. Win-win! Read more.
 
Help Your Employees Be Strategic Thinkers
Education is easy to make part of any business. That does not have to mean bringing in outside experts or sending employees away to expensive courses. Drawing on in-house resources can be just as rich. At Metal Mafia, we used to have sales seminars on a regular basis, at which different staffers would present on everything from the pros and cons of new products, to techniques for communicating better with customers. As we got busier, the seminars were scheduled less frequently, and finally, not scheduled at all. Read more.
