Social Media Coaching – July 9, 2013

Our second Social Media Coaching workshop was on July 9, 2013. We want to thank Archer Weiss again for letting us use their beautiful conference room for the workshop.

Our focus this time was on Houzz.com. This website has become a great way for design professionals to showcase their works to and interact with homeowners. Professionals can also interact with each other. Reviews are a big part of the website. Clients can review design professionals, and professionals can review other professionals.

By the end of the session, our attendees either created their professional profiles or added photos and details.

Rendered Chairs

Look what I found! I did these chairs in college for an assignment. It was a one-night project. A blueprint machine was more accessible than a copier, so these chairs were done on blueprint paper. I miss the good old days when I stayed up all night in the classroom with close friends and work on projects.

Social Media Coaching – June 11, 2013

We had our first Social Media Coaching workshop on June 11, 2013. We are very grateful that Archer Weiss provided their beautiful conference room for the workshop.

We started the session by welcoming all the attendees and introducing our generous hosts Barbara Archer and Marc Weiss.

Susan made a easy-to-understand presentation on using Pinterest for business. She even included a step-by-step guide. Some of us had started using Pinterest, but for personal use only. This image-driven website is one of the best E-marketing tools for designers to showcase their design styles and expertise.

After the presentation, everyone was motivated to start creating their business presence on Pinterest. There were three “tutors” going around helping everyone. At the end of the class, over half of the attendees signed up for the next workshop on Houzz.com.
