The "GO" Newsletter

  
Happy June Everyone,
 
Get Organized! has been very busy the last few months discovering opportunities to take our residential organizing experience and reach a wider audience. We recently added corporate and small business organizing to our list of services. This includes organizing inventory storage, stockrooms, and other areas of a company where disorganization is costing the company time, money, and resources. 
 
We have also just launched our NEW Get Organized! Affiliate Program in the state of Texas. If you, or someone you know, wants to start or expand their organizing business anywhere in Texas, Get Organized! is ready to help. The program offers the experience of a known brand in the industry, proven marketing methods, superior training, and requires no startup fees. We are looking for Affiliates who are extremely organized with varied backgrounds that will enhance the services they offer their clients. Requirements for an Affiliate include the following: business and/or residential organizing background, time and willingness to expand and manage a business, confidence, and excellent people skills. If you are interested, read more about our NEW Affiliate Program below. 
  
As I had mentioned in our last GO Newsletter, I reorganized my family's coat closet and promised our readers the results in this newsletter. Read below to see what products I used and how I added systems to maximize the space.
 
Enjoy!

Get Organized! is interested in connecting with individuals throughout Texas who are naturally organized, creative with space planning and organizational systems, have business smarts, self-motivation, and an understanding of the importance of excellent time management. Organizing skills are often learned or enhanced through tasks and hobbies you have done both in the corporate world and in your own home. These skills, in addition to the branding advantage and professional training from a successful organizing company, can launch you into a profitable organizing business. 
  
Our Affiliate Program allows you to focus on working as a professional organizer while you save both time and money utilizing the experience, brand recognition, and proven processes from one of DFW's finest organizing companies - Get Organized!. The initial investment includes: your time, travel expenses (for training in the Dallas area), general liability bonding insurance, and insurance for business use of your vehicle. There are no other startup costs.
 
We look forward to hearing from you about starting your own business anywhere in the great state of Texas.

 Experience IKEA  

with Professional Organizer, Lorraine Brock!

 

July 25th, 2012

 

Join us to preview the latest products, new styles and patterns, and be the first to experience IKEA's newly designed Marketplace!

 

Professional Organizer Lorraine Brock, along with IKEA experts, will be on hand to answer product questions and offer suggestions for organizing solutions in your home. Throughout the tour of our IKEA Showroom and new Marketplace, Lorraine will focus on all of her favorite IKEA products, and explain how she uses them to organize her client's homes. She will also be available to give you one-on-one solutions for your personal space! Come with a project or room in mind, or attend to get some great ideas you can utilize around your home or business.

 

Lorraine loves IKEA and uses IKEA products daily in her clients' homes, so who better to show you how to personalize your space with IKEA products! Join us for Swedish coffee and cinnamon buns, a tour to inspire, and an IKEA gift to remember.

 

IKEA Tour: 9:30 - 11:00 AM (Doors open at 9:15 AM for registered participants only).

 

Swedish coffee and cinnamon buns will be served at 9:15 AM to kick-off the tour. Parents interested in the free IKEA childcare services in SMALAND may drop their children off at this time.*Attendees must RSVP to Info@GetOrganized.ws by July 8, 2012 with the number of adults and children for both entrance to the store, and free childcare (based on SMALAND's height restrictions of 37"-54" tall and potty trained) .

 
All those who register receive a free breakfast of Swedish coffee and cinnamon buns prior to the tour. Every registered participant will also receive a free gift from IKEA.
Lorraine's Closet Redo
 
Many of you have been waiting to see the results of Lorraine's own coat closet makeover. A few months ago she organized it without having to spend hundreds of dollars for a custom closet.
 
After measuring the space, Lorraine went shopping and purchased everything she needed at Target and IKEA. The small space was easy to organize after building the cube system and getting some help from one of her sons to lift the cube in place.
 
Lorraine blogged about the results on the North Texas Kids site, where she does a monthly blog on getting everything organized. Click the above link to see the results and the products she used.
 

Organizing Tip

 

 

storage bin

 

 

Have you ever driven off in your car and realized you had forgotten something at home that you needed for an errand or event? Maybe it was clothes to return, or a gift for a birthday party, or sports equipment for your kids. Placing a fabric cargo bin in the trunk of your car can help organize all of the things that you need during your busy day! These bins, in various sizes, can be found in the organization section of many stores. 

 

Another car organization idea is to purchase a plastic accordion folder to hold all of those loose papers and coupons that pile up in the console or on the passenger seat! This file can be stored in your cargo bin or next to the driver's seat in your car so everything you need is close at hand. These two simple tips can help simplify your life and make the most of your time and money. 

GO has a New Tag Line 

 

GO Logo NEW  

 

Get Organized! continues to grow and expand its services with the recent launch of our Corporate Organizing Services. As you may have noticed, we have updated our tagline to incorporate all the areas through which we help individuals and businesses get organized.

 

Our home services are still the same great services you have come to know: paper management, kid's school papers, closets, kitchens, unpacking services, scrapbooking rooms, sewing rooms, art rooms, garages, and even car and purse organizing tips.

 

We also put a major focus on the family management of our client's homes. Get Organized! can get into the nooks and crannies of your lifestyle and organize the areas you feel are out of control, such as kid's chores or family member responsibilities, meal planning, syncing up your electronic devices for better family communication, or help with time management. All of these concepts are key for staying organized.

 

On the business side, Lorraine speaks to employees through Health and Wellness Initiatives to develop an understanding that if an employee is organized at home, they are more productive in the workplace.

 

Our GO Team also provides unpacking services for executives relocating to the Dallas area. Unpacking boxes, setting up kitchens, closets and bathrooms. and accessorizing living spaces allows them to get to work more quickly.

 

Our corporate organizing division saves companies time and money by organizing parts, supply areas, stockrooms, inventory rooms, and other work areas. If a company does not know what parts and supplies are running low or whether "like" parts are grouped together, or if expensive equipment is scattered throughout many different storage areas in a building, then they may need our organizing services to recommend more efficient organizational systems.

 

If you have questions about our new Corporate Services, contact us at Info@GetOrganized.ws.
