More Gratitude


First let me say, "Thank you!" to all of you that have responded with your thanks in this month of Thanksgiving. 

 

This week SDP Certified Member Erica Cooper of Your Style reDesigned, Inc. in Elk River, MN says, " I am thankful to be a child of God. I am honored to be given His gift of creativity to use throughout my life.
In my Business: I am thankful for each client, and being able to tell their story through redesign."

On a business note, this week let's look as at our organization, The Society of Decorating Professionals, an organization that has, in it's 1st year, welcomed over 400 new members through its doors.

 

We are thankful for the beautiful new website the SDP has created for us. It is sophisticated, just the right colors, and is designed to bring business to our doors.  Why they even provide a monthly webinar just to show us how to use this new website.  If you haven't attended "Connect & Communicate" FREE webinar, pre-register on the event calendar.

 

We are grateful for the programs provided by The SDP.  Here are just a few:

o      "Lunch and Learns"so we can learn from others about how they are growing their business and things that will help us to grow ours.

o      Member Only discounts for us with major retailers like Ballard Designs and Kirklands.  Login to visit the Members Discount page

o      Wonderful Annual Conferences so we can have great face time with others like ourselves to share ideas and grow our businesses.

o      Special Deserving Places program to use our talent to help others who deserve a special place.Login to visit the Welcome page for more details.

o    52 orginial "Monday Motivations"  to keep us inspired, learning and connected.  Click through to the Archieves if you've missed any articles this year.

 
Keep sending your gratitudes along to me at Carol@onedaydecorating.com and I will continue to share them with all of you.
