NSS Paper Clips for October

I hope your 4th quarter is off to a great start! For many in our industry, this is the busiest season of the year – with lots of holiday product now being shipped to retailers, and new orders and reorders being placed with vendors.

Autumn is also a busy time for those of us at the NSS. The sales team is hard at work signing returning exhibitors as well as booking new companies into their spaces for the May 2018 Show. We’ve got some terrific new talent coming into the NSS as first-time exhibitors, as well as great longtime exhibitors that have been in the Show for many years.

I’m so excited to see the Show coming together! And, speaking of coming together, I believe passionately that the NSS provides an unparalleled venue for the stationery industry to convene once a year to share ideas, to network, and to socialize with one another. Here, new industry friends are made and important business relationships are forged each year.

I hope you already know that you’ll be attending the NSS next May. I promise there will be lots of “new” for you to discover! For now, I wish you a great start to the fall season. Please be in touch at any time of the year! I welcome the conversation.
