Yay, it's SUMMER!
I'm so excited to be in this seat telling you all the wonderful things happening with the SDP. This week we have more exciting news!
Check out our upcoming webinar with Lisa Sherman. By the way, have you heard her? She does a wonderful job as the facilitator for SDP webinars, helping the presenters, while taking care of your questions. Lisa is also our emcee for Celebrate Your Style in October.
Speaking of webinars, we now have our first set of downloads available for purchase from our last webinar summit.
We finally have a group discount for credit card processing at a very reasonable rate for SDP members. BluePay has dropped the application fee of $99, and lowered the processing fee just for the SDP.
Oops! This is exciting and embarrassing all at once. If you are recieving duplicate notices to renew, please be patient with us. While we are excited to see our new database be efficient, we can't turn off the notices until we entirely switch to one database. Sorry.
Every week there are additions to our new website.

 SDP Presents PowerPoint 101
Join Lisa Sherman and the SDP as she shows how to make awesome presentations using PowerPoint.
As we learned during last week's webinar summit, PowerPoint isn't just for group presentations -- it is a great tool for creating electronic client "storyboards", leave behinds, marketing fliers, etc.
Join us for this SDP webinar on Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 7 pm - 8 pm EDT

Credit Card Processing
|
|

Are your clients asking if you accept credit cards? Ae you confused by all the merchant account options out there? Here's your solution. The SDP has now partnered with
BluePay Processing to offer credit card processing as a member benefit.
We
have negotiated a group rate for all of your credit card processing/check
processing needs. BluePay is the provider of their own virtual terminal for
your merchant account to process your transactions.
This is unique in
their industry, but real nice for our members so that you only have to deal
with one company for all your processing needs. Rest assured that your transactions are private -- between you, your client and BluePay. The SDP never sees individual business data.
If you have existing processing
in place, they may be able to enhance your service by lowering your rates and fees.
Please contact Steve Huddlestun of BluePay Processing at 630-300-2416 or email
him at shuddlestun@bluepay.com,
and mention that you are affiliated with the Society for Decorating
Professionals. |
