...Really??

Angry Man


In the past couple of weeks, I've encountered struggles that many of us in this industry have. 
 
The experiences I've had led me to scratch my head and ask...really? My commentary on this is here. I'm guessing that just a few of you can relate. Your comments are welcome!

We will be following up with some input on this topic from a supplier, so stay tuned. To build business, suppliers and distributors need to work to together. 

On the topic of working together, Maple Ridge Farms wants to help you get the business on their new Gourmet Treats. See below for their Special FreePromoTips Special Sample Offer

Really? 
 While my primary business these days is publishing FreePromoTips, I've been in the custom imprinted products business for over 25 years. My client base represents a nice steady flow of product business, which means I still have a good understanding of what's happening in our industry.

In the course of working on these projects, a rude awakening of how the distributor/supplier relationship works, or occasionally doesn't work, have me scratching my head and asking...Really?
