Three weeks after SAF Palm Springs 2018, the association is taking its 1-Day Profit Blast to Portland, Oregon, on Sunday, Oct. 7.
Sponsored by Frank Adams Wholesale Florist, the 1-Day Profit Blast features four speakers from the 134th Annual Convention stage: Derek C. Woodruff, AIFD, CFD, CF, PFCI, owner of the Floral Underground in Traverse City, Michigan, presents “M3: Money Making Mechanics”; Derrick Myers, CPA, CFP, PFCI, president of Crockett, Myers & Associates Inc., leads “Treasure Hunt: Finding Your Hidden Profits”; Tim Huckabee, president of FloralStrategies, LLC, offers “Smart Selling”; and Crystal Vilkaitis, owner of the Social Edge, reveals “What’s Up (and Coming) with Social Media”
Portland Profit Blast emcee and former SAF President and Chairman Shirley Lyons, AAF, PFCI, said the event is an ideal opportunity to step away from the daily grind and focus on new ideas in shop management.
“I find that we as retailers find it hard give ourselves permission to take the first step of just leaving your store, and investing in yourself and your business,” Lyons said. “Yet that is where your business will truly have the chance to grow and we hear this time and time from attendees across the nation.”
