-Jennifer Colaco, Oriental Rug Cleaning Co. Dallas, Simple Ways to Increase Revenues

Repair Class
Date: May 17-18, 2019 Location: Portland, OR - Renaissance Rug Cleaning Inc.
https://www.renaissancerugportland.com/rug-repair
This is designed as an entry-level hand repair class, however, since this is at my shop and we have all the goodies
if a person comes in with basic unnerstands of repair we have no problem moving on to reweaves
Member Price: $975; Non-member Price: $1800
The class consists of two intensive eight-hour days. Fee for the class includes lunch for the two days, handouts, and all teaching materials.
