Social Media

Whatever you do, do not do this in the States! While it is not clear if the victim is deceased or not, we have HIPPA regulations preventing us from sharing a video such as this without getting in trouble. Most of us also have policies on using cameras on scene.

If you are senior level in your department you have a duty to disclose certain information in a timely manner once the information is prepared and the party(s) involved are ready for the information to be shared.

This advertising and marketing advice is applicable to businesses, products, departments, start-ups, establishing a name for themselves or their brand, or continuing to saturate the market with their brand name.

My children are at my parents house in Nashville. As for me, I am sitting at home thinking about how I am going to use this HALL PASS my wife gave me. Just kidding, I would just be wasting my time. Seriously, where have I been. Well I have good news and bad news.

Sure, having busty tall blonde booth babes works very well too. But that typically just gets guys to stop and stare for a little while. Having a personality that many people know prior to the show in your booth can be an even bigger draw. Plus, what do those booth babes know about your product? You probably gave them a 5 minute crash course on your product and expect them to be experts. Once they leave the show they aren't going to write about the fun they had, the people they met, publish pictures from your booth, or any of that.
