SEARCHDo your nails for the coming week as if you were going to the tradeshow and use #myshownails on social media to share your nail looks.
Whew! Has summer snuck up on you? I feel sucker punched by June! lol
It is always an indicator that June has arrived when it is time to pack for the Premiere Orlando show. If you are attending, please stop by the CND classroom! I also plan to be at the Nail Tech Networking Event. I’m never too busy for a hug, a greeting, or a photo, so PLEASE don’t be shy. :)
If you are going to the show, what are you most looking forward to doing? If you can’t make it, what are you doing to try going in the future? Or, is this not an event you have a desire to attend? If not, why?
Here’s a fun challenge for those of you at home: Do your nails for the coming week as if you were going to the tradeshow and use #myshownails on social media to share your nail looks. This will give everyone a chance to show off the nails they would do if they were headed to the show, and talk to your clients about education you have had or are saving towards!
Perhaps print a fundraiser-style thermometer to show how far you have to go until funding your next educational adventure. Include travel, meals, lost wages, cost of the class, etc., so they understand the value of your knowledge when looking at the total number you are working towards.
Here's a look at some of the show nails on NAILS' staffers:
