The deadline for 2021 Speakers at Impressions Expo has been extended until next Friday, May 1st. So if you want to be a speaker next year, you still have time.
Katy Ditallo with NBM told me they are right now attempting to move the June 11-13 Indianapolis show to a yet to be determined date in July. We’ll stay on top of this and update when we can.
Marcia Derryberry with Impressions and Impressions Expo said they have streamlined all of their social sites into one called Impressions Group and they are loading editorial content nearly every day to help keep decorators informed and learning new things in addition to important Impressions Expo info.
Terry Dad Joke What did the fish say when he ran into a concrete wall?
Dam!!
Landscape of a Post Pandemic Decorating Community
Part 2: What does the world look like when the sun rises on a pandemic free day?
The bottom line, I think some of the changes that were forced upon companies and individuals during Covid-19 may become the new way we do business.
Face-to-face may become a less common way to do business
Maybe working from home does work after all
Scavenging – shops that are closing may create a glut of used equipment in the channel as well as leaving unserved or underserved customers in their regions after things start to return to normal; how will this affect the landscape and the opportunities for decorators who stick it out or start in the wake of this crisis?
