ASID PRESENTATION FEBRUARY 16TH, 2012 - Last year I spoke to the Memphis IDS (Interior Design Society) teaching small businesses the pros and cons of good website design, and how great photography and HD video helps reach new clients.

On Thursday, February 16th, I’ll be the guest speaker for the ASID, (American Society of Interior Designers) on visual presentation and social media. Today’s Architects and Interior Designers are very familiar with portfolios, adding the layer of social media brings independent firms into a new world of marketing. In the past, reputation was the key, today, reputation along with creative social media approaches reach a new social savvy client. Reaching out to new and existing clients is much easier today with the new world of HD video production and HD photography utilizing HDDSLR equipment. This new world of HD production is a great way to enhance any business. If you would like to attend, shoot me an email.
