TESTIMONIALS from PAST CONFERENCE ATTENDEES |
|
| |
We believe that coming together with other like minded business owners is one of the most important things you can do as a business owner. Here is what attendees from past events have said about the NNEP's annual Conference, Trade Show & Garage Sale:

"I didn't think that I would ever use the director chairs and casually went in and got a catalog at last year's show and here it is not even a year later and I needed director chairs..in fact 9 of them to start with. I was so glad that the NNEP had a rep at our show. It was easy to fill that order with an embroidery friendly item!! Thanks!!"

"Last year's event came just 4 months after I took over an embroidery
business. Although I have attended many different kinds of shows
and markets, it was at this event that I actually fell in love with embroidery.
There was a fantastic variety of vendors and seminars that gave me a true
wealth of information and products for my business in just 2 short days!
It is definitely on my calendar to attend again this year!"
Chris Castleberry

"I attend to meet with other embroiderers, learn what others in the industry are doing, what might be working a nd why, to learn new ways of doing what we do. We have not been to a Mart yet. At the Conference, I enjoy meeting the vendors, seeing in person what they are selling, getting new catalogs. I enjoy being able to talk with and interact with the vendors, to let them know what I want and if they have it or know where I can get whatever it is I'm looking for."
Margaret Swauger, Creative Impressions Embroidery
------------------------------------------------------
"I just have to tell you that I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST at the conference!
I can't wait to see you next year!
Loralyn Dyson, Country Embroidery
------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job with the conference. We were really pleased with the depth and variety of topics, and the feeling that I was among professionals. Therefore, I am a PROFESSIONAL!"
Jerri Dyke, Windmill Apparel & Embroidery
------------------------------------------------------
"I want to tell you how much I enjoyed the NNEP Network conference in Columbus. I had a GREAT time and met lots of people and learned so much important information. Thanks for such a GREAT time!"
Marcina Kapusinski, Extreme Designs

"I would like to encourage everyone to go to the NNEP Conference in Ohio. I
know the recession is hitting all of us hard, but the ideas, the confidence
boosters, the opportunities and friends you make at the conference are
invaluable. So many of us benefit from this exchange [NNEP member forum], it is even better in person. There is so much experience and advice available from our fellow embroiderers, so very much to learn and share!
My business partner Penny and I were so empowered by the conference.
Learning new techniques to help with our new business, including how to
properly price items, was so exciting. We made so many friends and came
back to work thinking there was nothing we couldn't do.
We learned that we had amazing resources at the touch of a phone or an
email. We have called NNEP and gotten so much support! We run into friends
and contacts we met at the conference at other shows (like quilt market - hi
Loralyn!). It makes us feel like we are a part of a giant creative force
that can make our business happen like so many other success stories.
We have avoided some mistakes due to talking to both new embroiderers as
well as experienced ones, saving us money and heartburn. We also have some
mistakes we've made that we will share this time, hopefully saving someone
else money.
Coming to the Conference is truly a well spent investment in your business.
You will go home empowered as well!"
Lynda Morgan, The Pink Stitchin' Chick of THE STITCHIN' CHICKS

"This is where we get our 'smarts!' If we didn't come here, we wouldn't be smart."
Lillian Bruns, Rainbow Stitches
------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you so much for a great event. Without doubt NNEP association is key to my continued success growing my embroidery business."
Sue, SEW Right Embroidery
------------------------------------------------------
"This was my first year as an NNEP member and to attend the Spring conference. I enjoyed the networking and information I received. I really enjoyed meeting with and talking to the vendors."
Kris Goodman
------------------------------------------------------
"I love the fact that there are many suppliers all in one place that we can meet with, to see what's new, and get specific questions answered. Meeting other industry professionals is always fun and enlightening!"
Judy Mahaney, Embroider PLUS
------------------------------------------------------
"I was so impressed with everything this year. The offerings for the conference were interesting and educational. The vendors were helpful. The garage sale was cool."
Darlene Duseberg, Five Points Embroidery
