We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the Chocolate and Shopping Show. We have recently completed our third event with them in Savannah, GA and are looking forward to many more. The events are always well organized and run smoothly. The staff is very professional, but they also know how to make the day fun. This latest event has been the best, because we stepped it up and really started engaging the people walking by (as they advised).  Their new contest also helped a lot. Many of our best contacts came from people who normally would not have talked to us, but came by to enter the contest. Overall this is one of the best events and the best people we have worked with. Highly recommend that you join in the fun and build your business said Bill and Sharon Coen of Independent It Works Distributors
