Where scrapbooking means business.
If you missed a great session at CHA due to a schedule conflict, or couldn’t attend the show at all, you can still get some of the benefit of the great business seminars that were offered for retailers by accessing the speaker materials for the CHA-Winter 2008 sessions and the CHA-Summer 2008 sessions online.
Not all of the sessions from the 2008 shows have materials available online, but just a few of the available sessions that may be of interest to Scrapbook Update readers include:
If you are looking for inspiration on how to organize your scrapbook stuff (or how to make room for all that yummy new stuff from CHA-Summer), there is a great archive of organization basics for scrapbookers at the Scrapbooks Etc. website.
The section is organized by type of supply being stored, and there is also a wiki section for reader organization tips and discussion.
Scrapbook.com is offering design team members a chance to win a prize for submitting their company’s CHA product previews to Scrapbook.com’s CHA preview gallery and forum:
Simply post a thread in the CHA forum, promoting the sneak peeks of the company(s) that you design for – you’ll be entered in a drawing for one of TWO $50 Scrapbook.com gift certificates!
http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showforum.php?fid/117/
Plus, earn a SECOND entry for linking gallery layouts IN THE THREAD with sneak peek creations!
Ready….set…PEEK!!!
The fine print:
* All threads must be created NO LATER than July 20th, 11:59PM Eastern. Threads must be for a manufacturer, NOT a competing store. Store threads will be deleted.
* To qualify for a second entry in the drawing, layouts must be linked using the embedded image feature of the gallery – text links only do not qualify.
* Design for more than one company? More chances to win! Each company must have their own separate thread, and no more than 2 chances will be given per *company* that you design for.
* Winners will be awarded from all qualified entries by July 31, 2008
So design team members, here’s a chance to fulfill your obligation to promote your team and win some scrapbook shopping money too!
The time for CHA-Summer is rapidly approaching! After my last trip to CHA in Winter 2007, I wrote a post for Scrapbook Update about what I had learned about attending CHA from my trip. (It was my second trip.)
Some of the advice was serious – like advice to carry business cards with you everywhere – and some was more lighthearted, like a reminder to have cash left when you get home so can pay the pizza guy more easily when you are too exhausted to cook.
I hope it helps…and feel free to leave your favorite CHA tips in the comments!
In case you missed it the first time, here’s a repost of an old Scrapbook Update post on preparing for CHA by designing business cards with some great links to business card resources in it:
