Heads Up!

Heads Up!

PROMOTE ME TO THE "HEAD" OF THE CLASS...Whoa hold me back! I know it's only December, but I'm ready for 2003! As I write this letter, the economy seems to be on an up tic--my 401K may actually be worth enough to enable me to retire at 70 instead of 90 and not have to make 'fries with that?' a part of my daily vocabulary.

Yes, 2002 was a tough year in the promotional products industry but we survived and 2003 promises to bring improvement to our industry as the economy recovers. Hopefully, this will result in suppliers and distributors building on loyalties forged during the difficult times and our associations continuing to work hard to contribute to the success of all their members.

I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones at the January shows. Here at Corporate Logo we are planning a little zany fun to celebrate the Orlando show and as always we are busy looking for innovation in the industry. Be it new products...sales techniques...education sources...or tiaras (you'll understand the last item in January).

So to all my readers, enjoy the holiday season and time spent with family and friends. Relax, eat a little too much, enjoy a toast of the bubbly, nap on the sofa, watch mindless TV specials--in other words get that little bit of lazy out of your system because in January we hit the show floor running. Giddy Up! I say. And remember what ever you do this month, don't forget to...

Have a Brilliant Day!
