Most of you know that I have am the current President of The Association of Closet & Storage Professionals and been on the board for the last 10 years.
If I’m being honest with you it’s not always rainbows and unicorns – there was a stretch when it was actually a little painful –
BUT – The ACSP is BACK!!
We are having fun again, people are getting involved, and new members are joining.
Our monthly webinar series is catching on – The April webinar “Mistakes Your Designers Are Making That Are Costing You Money” had 63 people register.
The Closet Conference was busier than it’s been in years with almost two full days of educational content. Expo attendance was up, there were over 25 first time exhibitors and more machines on display than ever before.
If that wasn’t enough good news – The ACSP is getting ready to roll out a brand new website – I know it’s been a long time coming…
I can’t wait for you to see it!
It will have a responsive design and be SEO friendly – (computer speak for work on your iPad and rank at the top on Google) 🙂
With this redesign we aren’t just targeting our members we are planning to speak to homeowners. There will be a blog and a member profile page so that you can upload photos and target potential customers. We want to drive traffic to YOUR site and promote YOU!
Other features include:
- Lead sharing
- Find a pro
- Message board
- Access to past webinars and the list goes on…
The new site is scheduled for the beginning of June and is going to make a HUGE impact for the ACSP, our members and our industry.
We also started discussions with Woodworking Network for next year’s Closet Conference on April 11th – 13th in Schaumburg, IL.
For the FIRST time ever we are planning to test and certify your designers at the conference. Your designers will be able to attend the Closet Conference, walk the show floor and take the ACSP Certification Test all in the same day!!
Can you think of a better way to standout in your market than having all of your designers being ACSP Certified??
I am very excited for the coming year and the future of the ACSP. I hope you will join us because it’s going to be some ride!!!
