Hello Don,

You may recognize me from FIB.

My day job is also in advertising. I sell custom printed promotional advertising. I don't do the co-op programs like you have mentioned. I prefer working with my clients throughout the year with whatever needs they have.

In January, I'll be writing a lot of repeat calendar orders for 2004. Drives the competition crazy when they have to wait 8 to 12 months to have another shot at the calendar biz.

I'll writing a lot of other "residual" orders at that time. Currently, it's Christmas Card orders (I'm not into political correctness), last minute calendar orders, and lots of business to business and business to employee gift orders.

Through in the usual repeat orders for pens, casual Friday shirts, embroidered camouflage caps, and the usual specialty items.

And since my alma mater's football team is headed to the 1-AA playoffs and possibly Chattanooga bound for the champtionship game, I'm also working on some orders for the Rah-Rah spirit products. Might also do an order for #1 T-shirts for the game also.

As a matter of fact, the McNeese Cowboys game against Nicholls State will be on ESPN on the 23rd.

I spend a lot of hours taking care of business from my home office, but also get out at least 2 to 3 days each week seeing some of my clients face-to-face.

In addition, I spend a lot of time training/mentoring new dealers that I've sponsored into the industry.

Best regards,

Dennis Bevers
