Granting the wish of Aventura Marketing Council members to enjoy great networking opportunities at premier venues, Macy’s at the Aventura Mall recently teamed up with Lancome Paris to host a SpeedBiz meeting with the apropos theme “Beauty Wish.”

Macy’s by Appointment Manager Linda Blankstein helped welcome AMC business and community leaders to the “short and sweet” monthly networking event presented by the AMC’s Small Business Development Committee likened to “speed dating for your business – only better!”

“SpeedBiz has become a favorite to many Aventura Marketing Council members as it provides a way to connect one-on-one with new members and a way to reconnect with long-time members,” said Aventura Comm. Michael Stern of Stern Bloom Media, who serves as Chair of the AMC’s Small Business Development Committee.

Proving it wasn’t just wishful thinking that the “Beauty Wish” themed networker would be a great success, busy best-dressed business and community leaders impressed by Macy’s fabulous fall fashions were especially delighted to learn more about the ease and convenience of Macy’s personal shopping services including personalized profiles of style preferences, wardrobe consultations, advance notice of exclusive sales and events, “first dibs” on sizes and brands you love, gift giving, special occasion reminders, custom gift wrapping and more.

There is also no charge for Macy’s expert consultants to handle gift lists.
