5th Annual Home & Business Showcase & Expo, North Brunswick

On the Level Contracting & Design jumped into the trade show arena for the first time this weekend. Prompted by our Business Coach, Reggie Shropshire, we switched gears and focused all efforts on creating a booth to represent who we are and what we do in a 72 hour space of time! We get by with a little help from our friends. Lynn Hagin was instrumental in letting us pick her brain to get some ideas on how to pull this off. Our friend and neighbor, local artist, Mary Meece of Topsail Beach, jumped in too, offering up her easel, ideas and “continuously” repurposed foam boards…helping us keep to our intent on recycling and repurposing resources. It is amazing to realize the resources available in your own home and office, literally your own backyard and neighborhood when you open up to the possibilities of creatively using what you have. Two or more heads really are better than one, a wealth of information exists if you take the time to appreciate the friends and family around you and at the same time allow them to contribute what they know. An article will follow on E-zine about “How to Create a Trade Show Booth on a Dime,” there were lots of great lessons learned, and we are looking forward to getting to pay it forward having been at the other end of experiencing “givers gain.”
