On Thursday, May 15th from 7:30am - 9:00am, Saint Louis Closet Co. hosted Price Waterhouse Coopers’ Women’s Networking Circle Breakfast.  SLCC Owner Jennifer Williams was the featured speaker and she gave a presentation on being entrepreneurship and how you can be ‘intrapreneurial’ within a corporation.  The breakfast was catered by Maplewood’s LaChef catering and we had over 75 women come to the event.

Jennifer Williams, President of Saint Louis Closet Co., has been named as one of just 21 finalists for the 2008 Ernst & Young Entrepreneurship Awards in the Central Midwest. This group of exceptional entrepreneurs was selected by an independent judging panel made up of regional business, academic and community leaders.  The winners will be revealed at a gala event on June 18, 2008 at the Sheraton in Overland Park, Kansas.  Jennifer is not only one of just five finalists from St. Louis, but she is also the only woman on the list for the second year in a row.

“These finalists are the best of the best, embodying the unique spirit of entrepreneurism,” said Randy Buseman, Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Markets partner for the Kansas City office.  ”They positively impact our region in a major way, through jobs, community growth and development and innovation.  Ernst & Young is proud to salute them.”

Saint Louis Closet Co. has been awarded a Super Service Award from Angie’s List, an ever-expanding cyber community of homeowners and their experiences with local service companies.
 


This exclusive recognition is awarded at the beginning of each year to companies who have achieved and maintained a superior service rating on Angie’s List throughout the past year. Less than 5% of companies on Angie’s List meet the eligibility requirements to be considered for the award.  To be eligible for the award, companies must maintain an “A” rating overall and receive a minimum number of reports during the calendar year.  
 


Saint Louis Closet Co. is a huge believer in customer satisfaction, counting it as the top goal of the company in order to maintain growth.  With over 75% of their business coming from referrals, Saint Louis Closet Co. is honored to receive this recognition.  
 


“The level of respect and trust that is given to a company when you are invited into a client’s home is something that we never take for granted, so we always strive to give that same respect and trust back to them,” says Jennifer Williams, President. “We treat our customers and their homes with the same respect that I demand of anyone who I hire to work in my home.”
 


The people who join Angie’s List are people who are looking for a way to find trustworthy companies that perform high-quality work.  The website’s over 600,000 members submit more than 15,000 reports each month about the companies they have hired. They describe their project (including the cost), and grade the company’s response time, prices and quality of work.

Organizing your home isn’t as daunting as you may think it is, and it can help your community too. Here are some helpful tips to get you going!

• Bedroom Closets – Donate anything you haven’t worn in the last year to Goodwill or other local charities.

• Bookcases – Donate any books and magazines you don’t read or your kids are too old for to charities like headstarts and your local library.

• Kitchen – Go through your cabinets one at a time. Donate extra or unused food and canned goods to local food pantries.

• Linen Closet – Donate semi-worn or unnecessary towels and washclothes. Animal shelters are always in need of towels, for cleaning and maintaining their animals and facilities.

• A Place for Everything – Now that you have an organized home, the next step is keeping it that way. After you use something, make sure to return it to its proper location. Taking an extra 20 seconds to put things away saves you from having to spend another weekend gutting your home.

Here’s what KMOX’s Carol Daniel had to say about her experience with Saint Louis Closet Co.:

A dream come true is the only way to describe my experience with the Saint Louis Closet Company.   My husband and I both wondered what the SLCC designers could do with our master closet and our pantry.  Both spaces were too small, or so we thought.  But after only a few minutes, a few measurements and a few questions, a free design was created right at our breakfast table.  We were also able to select the wood styles and handle designs at that time.  I don’t know what I thought the process would include but I had no idea it would be so easy, so smooth and so fulfilling!   A two-man SLCC installation team came in and within a few hours they transformed our master closet from cramped chaos to airy elegance and our pantry from, “Please keep that door closed,” to ”Would you like to see my pantry?”   

We couldn’t be happier with the result.  The interesting thing is after that experience, our other organization plans were jumped started and now we are working to create an office space that will better support my husband’s landscaping business, my writing projects and our sons homework!  Because of Jennifer and her crew at the Saint Louis Closet Company, we now finally have “A Place For Everything.”
