Are you going to finish strong?

I received this email earlier this morning and it got me thinking. (please click on the link below)

At the recent Homemakers Expo held at the Coca-Cola Dome three awards where presented to the KSA exhibitors. We are proud to say that we received silver. Optima made a late decision to attend the Expo and in just 2 weeks we made it happen. To get an award is a bonus and proves that design does counts and not neccessaraly the biggest stand. It is also important how the stand in manned and special thanks to our sales team for doing us proud.

At Optima we believe that: "It is not how you start but how you finish"

After seeing the video, we simply say:"Finish Strong"

Lets take this good start to the year and finish strong!

Homemakers Expo 2009 Build-up



Optima completed the installation at 16h00, well ahead of other kitchen companies.
This was one of the smoothest build-ups .Thank you, Jaco for managing the project.

Thanks Douw and Timone for an exceptional installation!
Zama and his team for the preperations.
Our partner, Andries, and the production team for delivering with such short notice.

Thanks to Karel and Zoe (Rooikop) for decorating our kitchen. Good luck with the new business venture (http://www.rooikop.co.za/).
Finally I would like to thank Fanie(the guy pointing his finger in photo above) for his continues support and for entrusting us with the design for 2009.

Our wish for the sales team working at the expo:
  • feeling an enormous sense of pride of the product you sell;
  • achievement of personal goals: be it -sales, forming new relationships or maintaining relationships; and
  • having FUN while you do it.

    This show will confirm once again Optima Kitchens as a market leader. Competitiors can copy our products and finishes but they can not copy our PEOPLE.

    I thank God for the skills,talents and blessing Optima has received.

    Be a rock star at the Homemakers Expo and "WOW" your fans.

    Stefan Marais

    PS. Ivan Muller will do a photo shoot tomorrow morning at 08h00 (Thursday) .Have a look out for pictures of completed product. Thanks to all involved for making it happen.

Rooikop


Optima Kitchens is proud to announce that Rooikop will be styling our stand at the Homemakers Expo (Dome 19-22 Feb 09). The items on display will complement the contemporary design of our new kitchen range.


We at Optima agree with Hans Hofman who said that:
"It is not the form that dictates the colour, but the color that brings out the form."

The stand items will be for sale online: http://www.rooikop.co.za/
