Well, now that THAT'S settled...


I'm sleeping much better these days. The sky seems a little bluer, there's a spring in my step, and I don't have those awful feelings of dread I once did.

What's causing all this giddiness? Drugs? I wish. No, I'm so Over the Moon because end-users, the scourge of the world, have now been re-barred from attending the PPAI Expo.

This is a Big Deal because the threat of buyers walking freely amongst us was causing palpitations from Maine to Hawaii. The mere thought of an end-user being in the same room with resellers was enough to evoke, well, Mass Hysteria:



But the Cooler Heads have prevailed. No, we won't have this pox upon our trade show. We'll have it like we always have had it--end-users getting badges from their distributor friends and walking the show clandestinely.

That's MUCH better, isn't it?

Yes, I agree Pete! Let's all live happily in denial: end-Users don't have a clue what the pricing codes mean and they don't know how to find a promotional product by doing a simple google search (probably at a lower price).

I can do my own nails, could cut my own hair (I DO run with scissors), and can diagnose most of my own ailments. It's easy to find beauty supply stores that will sell to the public and just about any drug is available on line -- but I frequently seek out specialists in those areas.

Promotional Products Distributors should have a little faith that they bring more to the table than triple-secret supplier sources.
