Happy New Year

The new year is a perfect opportunity to implement new practices and energize your design business, so if you haven't already notified your clients of significant changes taking effect in your business for the new year, now's the time. This month, we explore topics that all designers must eventually address: raising rates, increasing productivity, and setting client boundaries. 

High Point Market will be here before you know it. Spring dates are April 25–29 and this year's theme is “Reimagine.” While it's certainly possible to navigate the world's largest furniture show on your own, it can be daunting. Why go it alone? Instead, join up with fellow DSA members and exchange ideas and conversation that'll leave you feeling inspired and reinvigorated about your business. Our High Point Market Tours are fun, informative, and typically sell out well in advance—something to think about when you register for the show. Look for more information about this year's DSA Tours soon. 

Remember, we love to share positive, productive and inspirational stories from our members. Did you land a dream client? Were you inspired by a trip or life event? If so, we'd love to hear about it. Email us at  support@dsasociety.org and we'll share your story with the DSA community.

Cheers to a happy, healthy and successful 2020,
