Celebrating Valentine's Day

Christmas has left the building!

Many retail stores are now decorated in an array of pink, purple and red.  We can help you with tissue paper, plastic poly shopping bags, kraft bags, ribbon and cello.

But, how will you personally celebrate Valentine's Day with your loved one?  Perhaps an array of goodies (PMS bars) from Laurie's Sweets & Treats at Sophia and Ross Street or, go full-out and book your loved one a chocolate massage or chocolate mud wrap from Maple Hill Country Day Spa (located just outside of Barrie with a second location at Cedar Pointe on Thursdays.You would be a very lucky girl to get both. (Hint Hint!)

It's trade show season!!

January 2012.  Many of us are starting to get ready for trade shows.  CGTA, home shows, business to business shows. 

You should consider several things before participating in your next trade show.

• What does your trade show display say about you?  
• Are your banners up to date or are they ragged and worn out?  
• Do you have a booth displaying relevant, eye-catching information or products?  
• How does your booth compare to other displays?

In addition to your booth or display, remember that the people operating the booth represent your company. 
Ensure your representatives work to engage their audience - a smile goes a long way!  If your rep is sitting in a chair looking like they would rather be ANYWHERE else, your company is losing opportunities and even a fancy booth will not change this.
