Don't forget the NO LIMITS Gift Basket Conference in San Jose is coming up! The Early Bird rate of $199 is good through Sept 1st. After that date, the price goes to $220. If you know you will be attending and want to register by Sept 1 but can not pay until later in September, let us know. We can work with you and guarantee the Early Bird price if you notify us by Sept 1st.. Each day I get e-mails and phone calls from other Gift Basket professionals. As we talk about the details planned for the weekend, the excitement builds. The full schedule is posted at the links found at www.everydetailbydesign.com/NOLIMITSGiftBasketConference.html with sessions listed and their descriptions..... but that is just touching the surface of it all! Each day this week I will try to post an additional Sneak Peak into the NO LIMITS weekend. Let's see.... what should I share today.... The NO LIMITS weekend is going to be very Hands On. You will not only attend the sessions, but actively apply them to your business right then. On Saturday, you will notice, our sessions are really geared into how to Survive and Thrive in this economy. Before coming to the event, attendees will be given a list of Things To Bring. One of these items is a current Newspaper or Publication from the area you live and do business in. In one of the morning sessions, you will learn identify potential clients who need your services - by reading the newspaper. And you will also learn what their "hot buttons" are - while reading the newspaper. And then how to follow through with that and land the account. That is just 1 of the 13 session of the weekend. And just one Sneak Peak into the details! Looking forward to seeing everyone! Remember to leave your fears at the door. This conference knows NO LIMITS! ~ Sherry (Message edited by bsktsbydesign on August 29, 2008) | ||

Another Sneak Peak......... Saturday afternoon, we will have a session called Panel of Potential. Our panel includes a Hotel Event Coordinator, a staff member from the Convention Services department at the Convention & Visitors Bureau, a commercial property manager, a broker,..... All of them buy and use our gifts and services in their jobs. They will be telling you what they look for in a gift company, what types of gifts they need, how this economy is changing their needs, and other such information. They will then open the session for Q & A to further help you discover how to reach those markets in your area. It will be an informative, eye-opening session I think everyone will love and benefit from! Don't forget - Early Bird Registration ends Setember 1st before the price increases. IF you know you will be attending but can not pay before the deadline, let us know by Sept 1 and we will honor the Early Bird rate for you. See you at NO LIMITS! ~ Sherry (Message edited by bsktsbydesign on August 31, 2008) | ||

Time for another Sneak Peek into the NO LIMITS weekend! Did you know there is lots of money out there in the form of grants, "forgivable" loans, business sponsorships, and more? Your mind would be boggled by the amount of money out there that has been allocated to be given away but hasn't - simply because no one has asked. Being a woman is one of the many advantageous attributes a large number of gift basket owners possess. Not a woman, there are other attributes that could qualify you! On Sunday morning, the session MONEY TREES will introduce a number of places money could be waiting for you. And it will cover ways to search for additional funds. In addition, we will talk about simple ways to save money in your daily business habits, resulting in greater profits for you! See you at NO LIMITS! www.everydetailbydesign.com/NOLIMITSGiftBasket Conference.html ~ Sherry | ||

Ok, I am behind on these Sneak Peeks! Sorry! I have been so busy planning all the fun details for the conference, I run out of time each day! Can't I have 26 hours or so in a day instead of 24? Have you ever REALLY evaluated your pricing? Do you keystone 2 1/2 - 3 X? Is it the right pricing for you? Do you know how much you have to sell each month to pay all your expenses AND pay yourself? Do you need to sell more or spend less? One of the Saturday morning sessions will discuss all that. I will be sharing a formula to use to quickly and easily evaluate your pricing, your spending, and your over all condition of your business. Then we will discuss how to better balance it and make changes. Also, we will cover how to increase the profits on the sales you already have. See you at NO LIMITS October 10 - 12, 2008! www.everydetailbydesign.com/NOLIMITSGiftBasketConference.html ~ Sherry | ||

I have to share this with all of you. I just got a call from someone who will be attending NO LIMITS. She is in San Diego, CA. She is traveling to San Jose by train. Get this......... ROUND TRIP is only $134 (with a AAA discount). $134 DOLLARS! This news may make traveling a lot more realistic for those on a tight budget coming from Southern California! ~ Sherry | ||

Actually watched TV for a few minutes tonight. Saw a commercial for Southwest Airlines..... If you book by the end of day on Sept 18th, Los Angeles and San Diego area flights to San Jose are just $49 each way and Las Vegas is $59 each way! Book those flights now! That's a good deal! | ||

We are headed to Turkey, Egypt and Greece on Norwegian Cruise Line. We love cruises, especially when you can get them for 70-75% off by booking close to the cruising time as they sell at a big discount trying to fill the empty cabins. :-) My only down side is that the transplant hospital that I am still accountable to has decided that even on the ship that I can not eat fresh fruits and veggies. :-( Guess I'll have to stick to chocolate desserts instead. LOL The travel options for you all to go to the conference sound good. How many are going as of now?

I want to share some of the latest news about the NO LIMITS Gift Basket Conference in October. I have been approached by the developer of a fantastic new "product" for the gift basket industry. It is not yet patented completely so I can not give many details. But, the company has chosen our conference attendees as the ones to "test" this fantastic new product. All I can say is it will make your gift basket life easier! And you will get to be the first to use it! And, we have a new Sponsoring Vendor to add to our line up as well! CREATIVE COOKIE is preparing some great samples and a super show special for all attendees! Fudge, fortune cookies, cakes, and more! Yum!! A great way to theme your baskets or even use as a stand alone for all occasions! That's all I can say for now! If you haven't signed up yet, there is still time to register! www.everydetailbydesign.com/NOLIMITSGiftBasketConference.html ~ Sherry | ||

LOL - We are keeping travel in mind. I promise! And we will be sending you home with a new "purse" that will work as a carry on. No need to bring one! ~ Sherry | ||
