ASI Promotes Industry on MSNBC
Monday August 31, 2009 | Filed under:
ASI publisher Rich Fairfield made like a TV star last week during a lively appearance on MSNBC's "Your Business." The hot topic was the proven value of using ad specialties to market your business at trade shows.
As Rich and host J.J. Ramberg 
told their TV audience of 200,000, trade shows are a great way to get the word out about your business and premium giveaways that "go beyond the pen" are a sure bet for maximum marketing exposure.

They also advised companies to decide what they want to spend and to choose an item that truly reflects their business.
