Vacation week!

Out of the office reply in place - check.

Golf clubs - check.

Ice for the cooler - check.

Tickets to the Pebble Beach concours d'elegance - uh, sure. Heh-heh.

Lots of folks I do business with in one form or another are on vacation this month. You usually find out when you email them and get the auto-reply back that says they're 'out of the office' until such-and-such a date.

So you wait until they return, with their tans and faraway eyes.

Back in the office, let's point you to a couple of things this week that might take the edge off of you NOT going on vacation when others are gallivanting around the globe.

First, there's the replay of last week's webinar "Using a Webinar to Promote Your Tradeshow Appearance - and 7 other unusual ideas to attract visitors to your booth.' Check it out here.

And just for fun, I dug a little into the history of tradeshows for a short post. Yes, trade fairs have been around for centuries.
