Effective Applications of Social Media to Increase Business… Save the Date!

In simple terms, social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Through social media you can reach your market by simply engaging in the right conversations with the right people. This is more effective than advertising. OK, that's all great, but how do you turn this often underutilized and sometimes misused form of customer relationship building into real actual sales?

Well, we've got some answers for you… or we should say Dave Cooke has the answers! Dave will be showing us how to really understand and use this ever-growing form of doing business.

To RSVP for this very valuable seminar please email ronna@pentimentoinc.com or call us at (480) 962-1918.

NEWH's 5th Annual Bowl-A-Rama

This past Friday was NEWH's 5th Annual Bowl-A-Rama! Also known as "Bowling for Scholars", this their biggest fund raising event of the year benefiting their Student Scholarship Fund! So, as an active member of NEWH we donated some fabulous gifts for the raffle.

We were asked to come up with gift baskets and decided to do our own twist, in this case "gift crates" using repurposed wooden wine crates. We made two, one from Pentimento inc. and the other from re.collection art inc. Take a look!

Pentimento crate

Our "gift crate" from Pentimento includes:

A 3-Light polished chrome, mini-chandelier.

A hand-carved Cantera Garden Stone.

A pair of handmade art glass earrings.

A 3 piece set of handcrafted, art glass votive candle holders.

A beautifully framed art piece featuring
vintage album cover art, titled: "Let's Visit France & Italy"!

A framed original art piece - "Bella Porta".

And a framed original art piece - "Respite".

Our "gift crate" from re.collection art includes:

A beautiful vintage art image titled "Stolen Sweets",
framed and ready to hang.

Vintage themed, "Crinoline Girl Soap" with jasmine & ylang.

A set of handmade re.collection art vintage image note cards.

Two bars of "Godiva Chocolatier" chocolate,
72% dark and 31% milk wrapped in a re.collection art

The items in our "gift crates" represent the many talents, resources, artists and capabilities that Pentimento inc. and recollection art brings to every client and every project, including Lighting, Iron Doors & Gates, Cantera Stone, Art Glass, Upholstered Modular furniture and Vintage Themed Art  for interior design, hospitality, healthcare and corporate projects!

A Big Thank You to all who attended our Lighting CEU Seminar!

A Big Thank You to all who attended our Lighting CEU Seminar! We enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones, too. Fred Butler did a fabulous job presenting the many aspects to consider when addressing the lighting needs of any space. Fred's wealth of experience is available through Pentimento inc. to assist the interior designer and architect with lighting plans and lighting specifications. We're excited to offer Fred's help as a free service to our customers. Thank you Fred for flying in from Atlanta! Also a big thanks to Steve Kelman of Lighting Artistry for coming in from California.
