With entertainment technology, such as HD, digital cinema, streaming content ( I could go on and on) I see that our workshop division will play a larger role in educating all content sectors with these technology transitions. We will also play a larger role with this technology through HD EXPO’s Virtual HDE.com where we will be streaming both industry entertainment, interviews, education and panels from the HD EXPOs. Growth, education and community are the focus for us in 2007! Heidi Baker, Chief “Jane” Officer Eden Jarrin, Chief Executive Officer Be Jane, Inc.

In addition, we will also directly reach these women through local efforts such as Home & Garden Shows, Women’s Shows and Charity and Group events where we can have one-on-one relationships with our community of Janes. We will also continue to grow our business even larger by partnering with national and multi-national brands to increase the targeted reach of Be Jane’s home improvement message.
