FOCAL POINT STYLING: High Point Fall Market Week kicks off with The Style Spotters!

This week, I've mentioned the fashion focus at High Point here on the blog, along with sharing tweets and Facebook postings. And Saturday, the High Point Fall Market Week will kick off with none other than Leslie Carothers - the CEO of The Kaleidoscope Partnership! How exciting!! Leslie has been the one most supportive person I've met (just not in real life - yet!) during my transition from brick & mortar (retail) into social media marketing & interior design. Leslie will be hosting a seminar for MOBILE + SOCIAL COMMERCE tomorrow, Saturday October 13 at 10am located in the Antique Design Center inside the Historic Market Square at High Point.

SPECIAL NOTE:

One of Leslie's clients for social media is Olioboard - and the CEO of Olioboard, Sheilah MacSporran will be featured in the November issue of Better Homes and Garden!

Leslie's 5 takeaways from the seminar will include:

1.Driving in store /on site traffic via new companies that make this a possibility.

2 Reach luxury buyers mobile: through geo-targeted mobile advertising with case studies.

3.Showrooming -- mobile best practice strategies for selling the mobile comparison shopper in your showroom.

4. Pluses and minuses of a dedicated mobile app vs. your site optimized for mobile.

5.Mobile e-commerce statistics and the demographics of who is buying through mobile commerce.

Along with kicking off the High Point Fall Market with Leslie, be sure to follow the 9 Style Spotters selected by High Point to be the "ones to follow" through Social Media: Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest... With a special stylish breakfast on Tuesday morning: From 9am to 10am Tuesday, where four of nine of the nine Style Spotters will also share their favorite looks and on-trend products found at High Point...
