On the Discussion Boards

There appears to be some real time being logged in by members on the discussion board. The extremely dedicated and quite helpful member who was mentioned in the previous edition of E-Brief keeps going back for more. She just posted a follow up response to a question on the discussion board regarding how to make money on weddings. Click here to read the discussion.

This faithfully helpful member also responded to posts on contracting with wedding designers, wire services and tips on holding an open house. She even added a new post looking for advice on how to deal with a stubborn landlord.

Meanwhile, another member appears to be following her lead and spending time responding to a variety of questions. One post revolved around whether or not to offer wedding packages. The new reply suggests offering options that "work with all budgets within reason." Have something to add to this discussion?

This new, multi-response poster also contributed to discussions on becoming a Golden Medallion/800 send member, a request for places to find jewel picks and a hunt for a flared top votive with poured in wax. It's great to see so much activity on the discussion boards, but there's always room for more. Post your responses on a variety of topics or start your own discussion.
