July Update on Residential Forum & Christmas Decor

Hallco Enterprises is still painting homes in July but is also traveling the country! David Chism, our estimator, just returned from a 4 day trip to Portland, OR for the 10th annual Advanced Shop Talk (AST) of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America's Residential Forum. This years event featured a "shop hop" where 50+ professional painters were able to tour a member's painting office and shop. They also spend some time touring the Purdy Paint brush factory and a local paint manufacturer. They got to see first hand how paint is made! The actual conference was Friday and Saturday and discussed many different avenues of how to run a successful house painting business from websites and marketing to hiring the right people and training techniques. The conference took place in downtown Portland and The NINES hotel. David Chism is a current board member of the Residential forum and took an active role this year in being a presenter. David had two prepared presentations on website design and estimating techniques. He also assisted a group discussion on using the latest in technology in your paint company.

As David was wrapping up his time in Portland, our owner, Ted Hall, was flying to the west coast too. Ted and Karin Hall will be attending the national Christmas Decor conference in Reno, NV this week. This is the annual event to help all the Christmas Decor companies around the U.S. gear up for this years displays, learn about any new products and receive any additional training.
