Grow Your Business with Social Media – FAST!
Are you tired of posting on social media multiple times a week and getting little in return?
Wilhelmina Springmeyer, from Springboard Media Marketing, will show you how to create and organize unique content geared to your ideal target audience and identify which social platform is best to attract clients.

Wilhelmina Springmeyer started in social media in the tradeshow arena and discovered an untapped niche with digital marketing. She saw firsthand marketing firms charging sky-high prices and using misinformation that not only didn’t provide results for budding entrepreneurs, but took their hard-earned money.Wilhelmina’s love for small business and her knowledge of digital marketing led to working with law firms, equestrian stables and artists to move their businesses online and onto targeted social platforms.
With her coaching and strategic customized systems for sales and marketing, her clients are flourishing. “Nothing is more satisfying in my business than timing and BIG results for my clients.” When not helping others, you will find Wilhelmina outdoors. Her love of horses and being in nature bring balance and joy to her happy life.

The Color Seasons & Celebrities: A Head to Toe Perspective
Join Head to Toe Stylist Colleen Abrie, CDI, as she highlights some of the most fascinating people from the film and fashion genres, and shows how they fit into the Caygill seasonal concept.
She will dive deep into red carpet looks, hair color and style, and makeup that reflects the best and the worst of each season and each person. An array of skin tones and ethnicities will be represented, including both women and men.
It’s sure to be a fun, interactive presentation that will demonstrate each season’s unique, inherent coloring, design and energy – Head to Toe!
Colleen Abrie’s style career began at the hair salon with design, color, and makeup application. After reaching success as a business owner, she realized something was still missing from her professional life. This led to years of training with the San Francisco Bay Area’s top color and image professionals, which fine-tuned her eye and skill set to give her a unique head-to-toe approach with clients.
Colleen also served on the board of directors for the AICI San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, including President and VP Programs, for eight years. Her involvement with and commitment to CDI and the Caygill color method for over 25 years demonstrates her love of color and dedication to perpetuating professionalism in the image industry.
