On the Level Contracting & Design takes Best in Show

We thought “Best in Show” was an award explicitly pertaining to dog shows! Who knew? Booths were judged at the 5th Annual North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce Home & Business Showcase & Expo 2009, on creativity, interaction with the public and overall appearance. The Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation provided the “Best in Show” award, a portable tabletop electric grill which we are looking forward to trying out.
The reality is, designing functionality into any space with aesthetics in mind, is what we do and is the core of our business. Pulling this off in less than a week was an opportunity to really walk our walk in utilizing the resources around us, creatively finding ways to display who we are and what we do repurposing every item we used, plucked from our home, office and a little help from our friends!
This was our first trade show as exhibitor’s, we are thrilled needless to say to receive this award, but the bigger reward was realizing how much we actually enjoyed the opportunity of talking directly with home owners, other business owners, general interaction with the public.
There were a number of unexpected benefits, unintentionally, we ended up with some great survey content that evolved by simply listening. What we heard is that there are a lot of Do-It Yourself folks out there who want to do their own home improvement projects. We heard that the “honey do lists” are longer than the hours in a year’s worth of weekends!
We were listening and are considering a venue where we can offer some workshops sharing our professional expertise so that you can more easily knock some of those projects off your list. It was great to see so many couples jointly interested in home improvement and although it sound like there is a lot of talent already out there, we’d like to show more of the women how they can take care of some of the items on the honey do list themselves! Post your comments; let us know what workshops you need.
And it is not all about us and our reward! Stay tuned for the next blog posting to see who won the drawings for “Contractor for a Day” and our 5 second place winners, “$150 off specified services.”
