Still Here
to Help
I CAN'T SPEAK for you, but April and May felt like
the longest years ever in my house. Now that many
states are taking steps to reopen their local
economies, we are either seeing light - or a train
- at the end of the tunnel.
From fundraising to supplying personal protective
equipment (PPE), many industry manufacturers and
decorators have found new revenue streams that are
saving their businesses and providing paychecks
for their employees. However, many business owners
still have been forced to make difficult decisions
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our team is working diligently to develop and
introduce several new digital products and services
that will help our community remain connected and
informed, including:
* A new feature at impressionsmagazine.com, "How
is COVID-19 Impacting You?" allows decorators and suppliers to share their stories and
drive awareness about overcoming challenges
during this unprecedented time.
* A comprehensive guide on COVID-19 relief
options for small businesses on federal and
P.6

state levels, where available.
* A soon-to-be-launched, livestreamed and on-demand platform featuring exclusive,
original content and curated
relevant news and insights
from industry leaders.
We were disappointed to cancel
our inaugural Impressions Expo
Gulf Coast event, which was to be
held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
this month. The safety of our
community always will remain a
top priority and we look forward
to our remaining 2020 events and
heading to Baton Rouge in 2021.
Check out the revised 2020 Impressions Expo schedule:
Fort Worth Aug. 28-30
Atlantic City Sept. 10-12
Orlando Oct. 8-10
