In this presentation, Susan Woodcock will answer your questions and offer practical advice for getting started with custom window treatments.

Key Points:

• Learn about the various window treatment project categories
  
• How to scale and grow your current business by adding window treatments
• Consider working with the window treatment community, either as a sub-contractor, or sub-contracting window work out to other workrooms
