However, if you had out a promotional pen with your papers or pamphlets, your pen will likely be looked at again, and again by potential clients at the trade show, even when they are back in the office.The chief reason that promotional pens are so popular at trade shows is due to their size and functionality – they are compact and someth

Life Begins at 55
When I sold my business, at the age of 55, I felt liberated. Now I could do all those things that seemed so interesting, but were denied me by the "ball and chain" of small-business ownership.Sure, in those twenty years, I had some concurrent professional activities going on. For much of the last fifteen I was a roving adjunct professor, and an occasional consultant.

A red car, for example, has hidden stimuli, for red is a color that makes people angry. If you think I’m nuts, (I am, but not about this), check with some insurance companies. I was dumbfounded to learn that the collision rate was slightly higher for a red car! Packard’s premise was mind-boggling and insightful for its
