People actually pay to hear us TALK

Yes - I know - it seems crazy that people pay to listen to Maria and I ramble on when we do it for free everyday!


But last week that is exactly what happened when we gave a short presentation to the local business woman's network, sponsored by Diva Business Solutions Ltd.


This was a first for Maria and I - and having little time to prepare - we had been exhibiting at the Trade Fair prior - we barely had time to pull on a new pair of pants - but managed to put together a colourful powerpoint presentation telling our story to date.  We included weird and wonderful facts like:
  • our favourite letters
  • our most embaressing letters
  • iconic NZ letters
  • most requested words etc
  • as well as how we got ourselves in this mess in the first place!
We had an 'interactive' display which the ladies seemed to enjoy and showed their support by ordering some gifts (thank you ladies!)


The venue was a delight - Just Heaven Lodge - bare it in mind for your next event/meeting- 10/10 - The first part of the evening was spent dipping our toes in the swimming pool whilst drinking wine and nibbling cheese & grapes before we moved to the comfort of the 'Barn' - nothing 'stuffy' about this venue - in fact I think ALL business meetings should be held in this way from now on!
