PostalAnnex+ Exhibiting at Orange County’s Largest Mixer®




Orange County’s Largest Mixer® is proud to spotlight exhibitor PostalAnnex+

PostalAnnex.com recently launched an Instant Shipping Rate Comparison application. It allows the user to compare shipping rates among FedEx, UPS and the USPS with the ability to pay for, and create, a FedEx shipping label. The FedEx shipping prices are guaranteed to be lower than those found on FedEx.com or at a FedEx Office location. The Internet price is not available in a PostalAnnex+ store as it’s a “self-serve”, online option to the full-service in a PostalAnnex+ store. But the prices are lower than FedEx.com (and they’re even lower than UPS.com’s, too!)

The mission of Annex Brands, Inc., is to develop a global network of retail and commercially-located franchised establishments to provide complete shipping and business-services solutions for consumers and business alike. We accomplish this by offering transportation services from moving vans to freight shipping via air, land and sea. In addition, we also offer small package and document shipping via a choice of UPS, FedEx and USPS. We also serve the consumer and small-office, home-office user with a variety of business services including private mailbox rental, notary service, high-speed copying in black & white and color, office supplies, web site/e-commerce services, faxing service, printing, stationery, rubber address stamps, key duplication, greeting cards and assorted gift item, all in a convenient, service-oriented environment.

Sweet Xcape Cakes Exhibiting at Orange County’s Largest Mixer®



Orange County’s Largest Mixer® is proud to spotlight exhibitor Sweet Xcape Cakes.


Rachel Melendrez, Lead Designer and Owner of Sweet Xcape Cakes said the Inland Empire Largest Mixer® was “probably the most significant thing I did for my business in 2010.” At the event, Victoria VanDamme, the Director of Food and Beverage with Savor / Ontario Convention Center, visited Rachel’s booth where they met for the first time. Two meetings later with Victoria, she announced to Rachel that OCC would like to add Sweet Xcape to their preferred vendor list. “Little unknown me along side two very prominent cake artists with the OCC serving the Inland Empire and Los Angeles Counties, I couldn’t have been more honored and flattered – what a huge, huge feather in my cap! Before exhibiting at the Largest Mixer®, I would spend hours contacting local venues and country clubs to introduce our product and cake artistry only to receive few returned phone calls, it was like pulling teeth! But after exhibiting at the Largest Mixer for the first time I had immediate and fantastic unexpected results, like our new vendor partnership with OCC and all the exciting cake projects in store for Sweet Xcape in 2011!” added Rachel.

So – it’s one thing to meet a great potential client, but we asked Rachel what her secret was to securing the OCC gig. “I believe in a very personal approach and that is the philosophy I’m using to build my business. It’s not just a cake – people are eating mycake, now that’s personal! I don’t just tell my clients to go find magazine clippings of what they like, I interview them, meet with them one-on-one for a cake tasting and consultation. This process ensures every attempt is made to get inside my client’s head to capture their vision for their special occasion cake,” she responded.

Our favorite example of Rachel’s cake artistry is this project she delivered to OCC for the Road to California quilting convention in January 2011 pictured below.

Orange County Chamber ‘Mega’ Business Expo/Mixer Event Set at OC Fair & Event Center

Networking Event Of The Season – Orange County’s Largest Mixer® VIII Unites Local Businesses, City Chambers, Business Groups on March 23, 2011

Considered by many as the most heralded business mixer/expo of the year, Orange County’s Largest Mixer® VIII returns to Orange County to set the standard for all other networking events to follow.

“Now in its 8th successful year, the Mixer has grown to represent a powerful meeting of Orange County area chambers and local businesses representing hundreds of industries and companies in Southern California,” said Dave Linden, producer of Orange County’s Largest Mixer®. “Each year, as the event grows, I take the most pleasure out of the fact that we have created a forum for chambers and members of the business community to come together for a productive evening of meeting new contacts – that’s where I conceived these events to be and I think we have succeeded.”

Scheduled for Wednesday, March 23, 2011 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the event will be held at the OC Fair & Event Center, 88 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626.

The Mixer also provides a chance for businesses to network with one another for mutual support. Businesses and individuals do not have to be affiliated with a chamber to attend the Mixer.

Designed to be part expo and part business social event, Orange County’s Largest Mixer® accomplishes both by providing an “open feel” on the exhibitor floor along with conversational areas for casual one-on-one discussions with existing contacts or building new relationships.
