Through the years, I've developed some great friendships with my industry colleagues. These relationships with both distributors and suppliers have served me well with personal and professional growth.
Frankly, I would never be where I am today if it weren't for the amazing industry people in my life. I have met them at regional trade shows like the ASI Shows, The SAAC Show, Promotions East, as well as national events such as The PPAI Expo and the North American Leadership Conference. I've benefited greatly from the education offerings and relationship building opportunities these industry functions provide.
In this issue, we feature tidbits of wisdom from two of the people I've gotten to know through the years. Dave Regan from Vernon Company and Jason Black from Boundless Network share with our community. Both those companies are featured in the "Looking for a New Direction" section of FreePromoTips.com.
It's the contributions from others that I believe makes what we do so unique. The door is always open to those who have something of interest to share. Feel free to contact us with your content ideas.
As our program continues to grow, we want to make FreePromoTips the best it can be for our readers, our supplier partners and the distributor companies who are active contributors to what we offer to the industry.
