Longines Suiza Women Hand Winding

On August 28th, Handbago sat down with Lucy Brown, Project Manager of Junior Drake Incorporated, at their posh Downtown Los Angeles headquarters to talk about the company's progress since its conception in 2001 and what we can expect from Junior Drake in the coming seasons. The creation of Junior Drake was inspired by Lucy's grandmother, an actress who assumed the stage name "Junior Drake," and whose positive attitude and self-confidence were reflected in her unqiue sense of fashion. With hundreds of styles that showcase "classic but edgy" designs, color palettes, and intricate craftmanship, not only do the company's products appeal to wide range of consumers, but each handbag sporting the Junior Drake namesake exudes the same air of confidence as Patsy Brown herself. Their current Spring/Summer 2009 collection boasts nine gorgeous handbag and accessory lines that range from ruffles to utility, highlighting Junior Drake's feminine, yet versatile, designs.

A lot of business owners attend conventions. They do this to help promote their business to those who already have an interest in the product or service, or they do it to keep on top of the latest developments in their field. A convention is a great place to learn about what your competition is doing, as well as a get a feel for what is going on in the industry in general. Conventions are a great time to reach out to potential customers. Most attendees already have an interest in your product or service, which is why they chose to attend the convention. Even if they are not looking to buy immediately, they are a part of your marketing demographic, so your being at the convention is a great marketing opportunity. It is important to reach as many convention attendees as possible in the most effective and affordable way. Handing out items from your booth is one of the best options. They are likely to get plenty of materials while browsing the convention, so custom printed bags are a great option to get you noticed. Fabric bags are sturdy and reusable, and they feature your logo for all to see at the convention and later. How many times have you heard the question asked at a convention "Where did you get your bag?" This could work in your favor!Other handouts are also popular marketing items. Pens and paper are a great option because they come in handy on the regular basis. You will always be at a potential customers fingertips when they are writing down a note. The disadvantage is these items do not last forever. However, during the time they are in use, you are the first thing the writer is thinking about.Coupons are an option at conventions because they give potential customers a reason to contact you in the future. You can hand out coupons to all those who stop by your booth. This is also a great way to track how much business you generated at the convention. This way you know if it will be worth attending for you in the future. Offer a special discount to those who attend the convention and contact you later in order to generate business and offer people an incentive for following up on your initial meeting.Having services in your booth to lure people in is another great idea. For instance, if you are a medical company, you can offer a medical evaluation or a chair massage. You are giving the customers something very beneficial for free and encouraging them to learn more about what you have to offer.Finally, use the tried and true technique of feeding them. Nothing gets people's attention like free food. Stock your booth with candy, water and treats and people will be climbing over one another to get to you. Make sure the items are labeled with your company logo. Even though they will eventually get tossed, you will generate plenty of attention during the event.

The anticipation of a wedding is a wonderful, exciting time for nearly everyone involved in the big day. But nothing makes some people more nervous than the thought of having to get up before a crowd of people and make a toast to the bride and groom. These days, toasts arent only limited to the Best Man. Often, the Maid of Honor is called upon to deliver a word about the bride, and the host of the reception generally the father of the bride may be asked to say a few words as well.If you have a fear of public speaking, your first thoughts probably include devising a way to be excused from this responsibility. However, that would probably disappoint the bride and the groom. Instead, a little preparation can make your wedding toast worry-free and a speech that the bride and groom will long remember.If you are a Best Man or Maid of Honor, your toast will probably include a few words about the groom and/or bride. Remember, however, that toasts should not be too extensive. Include just a humorous thought or two, add blessings and good wishes, and then raise your glass to the new Mr. and Mrs. Dont let the wedding guests stand there for 10 minutes with their champagne raised, rolling their eyes, and waiting for the speech to end. In addition, you may be tempted to ramble on about your relationship with the couple, but it is essential to keep the spotlight on the bride and groom and not on you. After all, it is THEIR special day!Usually, a good rule is shorter is better. But do remember to prepare. Winging it never works and could result in some hard feelings between the toast-giver and the couple. If youre very uncomfortable with public speaking, write out your wedding toast in its entirety and read it. Another option is to just jot down some notes and use these as cues. Choose whatever way is best for you and remember to keep the remarks appropriate for all audiences.If you are a parent of the bride or groom, your toast may be a little different. If youre the host of the party, remember to welcome all your guests and thank them for coming. As the toast proceeds, mention a few funny or endearing things about the bride and groom, express your love for them, and wish them a happy future. End with a hearty here, here and raise your glass in a toast to these two people that mean so much to you.Experts say that the ideal wedding toast makes the guests laugh and cry. Often, the toaster himself will get a little choked up as well. If youre quick to cry, try to keep the speech light-hearted and save the very personal thoughts for a time that you can share them privately with the bride and groom. While a few tears are expected, a sobbing toast-maker often leads to some awkward moments.So when its your turn to speak, simply take a few deep breaths, gather your thoughts (and your notes), and remember that this special day is all about the bride and groom. Give them a speech that theyll long remember.
