The Decor Mentor team will curate a collection of their top picks for the  Sept. 17 Twitter Chat, using the official High Point Market hashtag, #hpmkt. The team also will discuss new trends, Fall 2014 Market tips, events and more. Visit here for a complete overview of this event.

All product photos submitted for the Chat will be featured on a Sneak Peek pinboard on the High Point Market’s Pinterest page. The Decor Mentor curated selections will also be posted to a Pinterest board. A link to all of the Pinterest boards will be posted on Twitter throughout the Chat.

“The Twitter Chat is an exceptional marketing opportunity with the potential of close to ten million impressions for companies showing at High Point Market,” said Decor Mentor Founder Lisa Ferguson. “Beyond submitting your images, participating during and after the chat not only allows you to engage with your direct client and the end user, but also get instant product feedback. Marketing, relationship building and market research all in one fun hour. And for the social media savvy, you can leverage the top picks for months to come through articles and social media."
