With regards to my earlier question I'm going to take O's advice and let people choose whether or not they want to be added to my mailing list. In fact I'm going to take it a step further and give them the option of signing up for either the enewsletter or the print newsletter. It pains me to give people this option as I just know that many of them will opt for the print newsletter which costs a gazillion times more to print and send then the enewsletter does. But the sad fact is that many people in my industry just aren't that internet savvy and I'd rather be sending out information that I figure has half a chance of getting read rather than just sending it off to an email address that only gets checked when they have a high-school intern on the payroll to work "those computer-thingys."
Now the question is, what sort of fun, fashionable, and yet lightweight and hard to break item do I have people put the slips of paper into? I'd like something that looks cool but it can't cost a ton and it's got to go on a pallet with the rest of my stuff to two shows. Any ideas?
As for today's title - this is just one of those weeks where working from the home office 3xweek just isn't paying off. Just a lot of house and hearth stuff that seems to be taking precidence. Not to mention a few desperate calls from folks who's babysitters have canceled in advance of doctor's appts. I'm glad I can help out but it's only Wedns and the amount of "work time" that's not being spent on work is starting to loose it's sheen. It doesn't help that I'm sitting here waiting to hear from BIG customer from last year as they said they'd let me know by the end of next week (I'll believe it when I see it) so I'm feeling frantic trying to get everything done that can get done now so that if they do come back with an order I can put all my focus there while still feeling like everything is in control for the upcoming tradeshows.
In control...ha, who am I kidding!...
