Spring fever? You can beat it

Read this blog enough and you’ll know we hate the winter despite living in a moderate climate. Can’t imagine living somewhere that snow is on the ground for three straight months.

But unless you living in the Deep South or Southwest, January makes you shiver with every paper you deliver (’60s reference from Miss American Pie). You want to get out, have some fun.

Two words — trade shows. You’d be amazed how many trade shows are in January-February. It must be the indoor alternative to partying. They figure you can’t go outside and have fun so wander through booths of businesses. Yippee.

But, we’re being snarky. Here’s what we do. Take your business card and pick a trade show where you can network. You don’t need to buy a booth. Just go through the vendors, say hello and give out your card. You may find business or at least increase your networking.
