Attendees of the last Summit are still raving about the inspiration and motivation they received.  See (and hear!) what they are saying in the boxes below...

"Such high-caliber people all in one place, from the comfort of my home office... I was able to launch my bi-weekly newsletter and went from 20 to 250 subscribers in one month.  My blog traffic grew over 1100% in 4 months!"

Hear what Kathleen has to say:  

The Summit was a very valuable event for me.

Although I've been in business for 15 years, there are always new things to learn...and getting the latest tips and information from such high caliber people all in one place, from the comfort of my home office, was wonderful!

Everyone shared so generously and had relevant information with do-able steps.

- Kathleen Ellis, Kathleen Ellis Lifestyle Design, Pennsylvania

 

"The perfect formula to keep all designers motivated
and booked with appointments"

You should be celebrating... the Interior Design Summit is awesome!!!! You obviously have worked hard to assemble so many experts on the calls.

I am totally inspired!  This is the perfect formula to keep all designers motivated and booked with appointments.

- Marie Mouradian, Window Designs Etc., Massachusetts

 

"A takeaway for everyone in every area"

I was inspired, excited, and full of energy to get going and raise my level of business again.

You could call the Design Summit the Wikipedia of how to run a design business – all the nuts and bolts from beginning to end.

I loved the design summit.  It was worth every penny, and I look forward to attending the next one.

- Erica Cooper, Your Style reDesigned, Inc., Minneapolis

Listen to Erica's thoughts here:

 

"Brimming with information and helpful tips that could take us
a lifetime to learn from trial and error"

My brain is on overload and my heart is full!  The Summit was a little like a retreat experience.  You included information that is simply not taught in design schools.

I want to say thank you for all that you both put into this endeavor. Not only are you knowledgeable in our industry, but you seem to really know what is important. As much as I am impressed by the content of the Summit, I am impressed by the consistent theme of authenticity, genuineness, relating to people, giving back to the community, and building relationships and trust.

It would be so easy to expect seminars based purely on profit-boosting, marketing and selling; so to hear the importance stressed of honesty, ethics and integrity truly blew me away!

I feel like my whole world expanded as a result of the Summit.

- Joey LaSalle, LaSalle Custom Design Studio, L.L.C., Tennessee

Listen to Joey's thoughts here: 

What makes this Summit different than any other event you’ve attended?

§      The consistent theme of authenticity, sharing, giving back, and optimism.  With so much negativity around, you need to surround yourself with positive, open, caring mentors who truly want you to succeed!

§       The expertise and track record of your speakers.  They have built flourishing design firms, or consulted with top designers to help them build successful businesses and get contracts with wealthy clients. 

§       The reasonable cost.  Most business conferences with this level of quality cost thousands of dollars.

§       No need to travel.  Other conferences require travel – you have to leave home, family, and your business for days.  And on top of conference fees, you pay travel expenses.

§      Your entire firm can attend – for the price of one ticket!  Imagine a high-priced conference where you want to take your employees.  Multiply the admission, travel, and hotel expenses by the number of your partners or employees... yikes!  This Summit is a tiny fraction of the cost.

§       Recordings of every class - included.  At live events, if you are offered recordings of the speakers, they often cost extra and you usually don’t get them for many weeks.  You will receive links to the recordings of every class within days.

§       Daily action plans.  With most conferences, you go home excited for a few days and then go back to the way you were doing things.  At this Summit, you will receive action plans and action strategies daily so that you can immediately apply workable solutions to your business.

Tuesday & Wednesday, March 3 & 4
11:00 AM - 7:00 PM Eastern

 

If you’re like most designers working alone or in a small firm, you may be experiencing cycles of feast or famine.  Either you’re too busy, or you don’t have enough work.  Either way, you don’t have balance in your life. 

You are not alone.

Our mission is to help you learn new techniques and creative ways to build your business and thrive in this new economy.   We’ve asked twelve top gurus, consultants, and designers to share their wisdom and experience with you so you can shortcut the learning process

You will be inspired, encouraged, and energized – and you will learn amazing and surprising ideas.  We found the best of the best to speak at this Summit. 

You will hear from people that you know, and some you may not have heard of – they are the leading ‘behind the scenes’ consultants who work with top designers and entrepreneurs.  The Summit also includes best-selling authors, speakers, and coaches – and they will inspire you! 

You will be given the tools to improve, expand, and upgrade your business. We are all here to help you achieve your dreams. 


The Interior Design Summit is a
Virtual Tele-Summit.

You can listen to every class
from the comfort of
your home, office, or car!

 How To Promote Your Design Expertise Online and Offline    and Generate Thousands of Dollars in Free Publicity  

Joan Stewart, The Publicity Hound

The media love experts. They quote them. They write articles about them. They invite them onto programs like “Nightline” and “20/20.” They come back to them again and again. Consumers love experts, too, and call on them to help solve a variety of problems. Consumers also buy products and services offered by experts. Publicity expert Joan Stewart, also known as The Publicity Hound, is a former newspaper editor who will share the secrets of how to promote your expertise online and offline. She’ll show you how to determine whether you’re a design expert and, if you aren’t, what you need to do to become one. Joan will also tell us how to form strong relations with journalists and bloggers and use the social networking sites to enhance your reputation.

You will learn:

  • Where to start your publicity campaign and shortcuts that will save time

  • The Number One thing journalists and bloggers expect you to do when you contact them

  • When you want the journalist to write the story, and when you can write yourself

  • How to determine if you’re an expert and what to do if you aren’t

  • How to jump to the next level of expertise

  • Joan’s all-time favorite fun ways for experts to generate publicity

  • The scoop on press releases

  • The one thing you MUST have if you want to get onto TV

  • The one group of people online that are in the position to create the biggest buzz for your story

  • The best way to get into big national magazines

Joan Stewart teaches Publicity Hounds how to catch the attention of frazzled news directors, busy reporters and grumpy editors. In fact, she worked as a grumpy editor at three daily newspapers and The Business Journal in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a media relations consultant and professional speaker, she shows people how to use the traditional media and social networking to establish their credibility, enhance their reputation, position themselves as experts, sell more products and services, promote a favorite cause or issue, and establish their companies as employers of choice.

Joan's popular electronic newsletter called "The Publicity Hound's Tips of the Week" goes to more than 30,000 subscribers worldwide and includes the best publicity tips and good clean dog jokes you'll find anywhere. She lives and tries to stay warm in Port Washington, Wisconsin.

More than 25 years ago, Debbie Green started a small design business, Dandelion Interiors. Over the years, she realized the importance in systematizing her business to ensure future success.

Five Ways GIVING Makes a Difference For Business
