Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 3/20/21 - Jennifer Earnest, Jen & Jamey’s Virtual Cooking Classes

Virtual cooking this week!

Rick is joined by Jen, from Jen & Jamey's Virtual Cooking Classes this week.

Have a listen:

When the Pandemic hit nearly one year ago, Jennifer Earnest and Jamey Evnoiuk, co-owners and a husband-and-wife team, nearly lost one of the South’s most renowned and events business and their restaurant.  With a highly skilled and curated team of 30, the company, Chef’s Garden Catering and Events lost thousands of dollars in days and nearly 2 million in revenue in 2020 due to canceled events.  Their restaurant located in Northeast Florida’s Largest Art Museums also temporarily closed.  Out of sheer desperation and panic inspired by COVID, the drive to keep their team intact and business afloat, combined with the need to bring joy and togetherness into people’s lives, this husband-and-wife team and introduced Jen & Jamey’s, Virtual Cooking Classes.  

The first test class was hosted on St. Patrick’s Day and due to the incredible early success, has become the silver lining today in their thriving business.  The duo has reinvented and re-directed their skills in catering and learned how to navigate the technology, to create something that transforms the cooking class market. And even during these desperate times, their business partnered up with non-profit Feeding Northeast Florida and provided the labor to cook donated food for homebound seniors.

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 5/9/20 - Jane Birdwell, Tablevogue with Tips for a Virtual Graduation

Rick talks with Jane Birdwell of Tablevogue Fitted Table Covers.

How to Create a Great Virtual Graduation Party for Your GRAD-of-Honor?

Your graduating senior may not get to walk across the stage this year, but you can still throw them a special celebration. Jane Birdwell, creator of Tablevogue Fitted Table Covers, shares tips for hosting a festive online party for your 2020 graduate.

Virtual Graduation tips:

Send out an interactive virtual invite. Find fun ways to use color, theme, signage, and accessories to make the party invitations unique and eye-catching. The interactive element for the guests makes them feel involved and engaged.

Map out a virtual viewing space. Thoughtfully select an area of your home that will delight your viewers. It could be a pretty corner of your backyard or a bright and cheery portion of your living room or dining room. The area should be no more than 10 feet by 10 feet so guests can clearly see the décor and the people on camera. And don't forget to designate a special space for the GRAD-of-Honor.

Keep the "wow" factors simple. You can make a big, dramatic impact with simple touches.

Start with these three:

A fun dress code. Ask the guests who will be joining your video conference to wear the colors or logo gear from the college your child will be attending in the fall. If your graduate will be entering the workforce or a trade school, ask everyone to dress in accordance to your party theme, like Hawaiian shirts, famous book characters, etc.

Impactful décor. Visit www.tablevogue.com to find a fitted table cover in a matching color or print to create an instant "wow" factor and central point of focus for the GRAD-of-Honor. Further enliven the space with a creative backdrop using printed goods, wrapping paper, colorful linens, or balloons to create visual harmony and depth.

Great gifts. Request that guests send gifts in advance so the GRAD-of-Honor can open them and celebrate in real time. "We asked our family and friends to write quick notes of advice including a contribution to Venmo or a similar account," says Birdwell. "Gift cards or cash are also welcomed by most graduates. And if you like the thought of a physical gift, think anything monogrammed, including apparel and accessories with logos for the college bound. Giving your GRAD-of-Honor and guests an interactive role in the party will make the lack of physical connection virtually disappear."

Tablevogue fitted table covers are doing for folding tables what Dyson did for the vacuum. At first glance, tablecloths are an unlikely place to find game-changing innovation. But Floridian entrepreneur, Jane Birdwell, envisioned a superior design that is becoming recognized by industry leaders as a new product category, "tailored table covers."

The tablecloth has been a highly valued event item for nearly 2,000 years. Table décor coverings, known as "drapes and throws" haven't drastically changed in appearance or design since the fifteenth century – until now. Tablevogue has created an innovative product that solves several longstanding issues around tablecloth performance and design. Constructed with a patented and protected stitched corner and pleat, Tablevogue tailored, fitted table covers are made specifically to fit standard size utility folding and banquet tables without the use of clips,
