Thank You! And You! And YOU!

Some of you know that yesterday was our Annual Hasseman Marketing Customer Appreciation Day in Coshocton Ohio.  We had a fantastic event and if you followed us on Facebook or Twitter, you know we had a lot of fun!

But that's not the whole story here.

When people attend the event, I think they understand the amount of effort we put into throwing this party.  We do this because we love it.  We have a lot of fun putting these details together and they seeing them all come together.  They also see how much work it is...and it is.  But at the very end of the show, Amy and I talked about being energized, not exhausted (that came a little later).

I think the reason we have that feeling is that this show gives us an opportunity to introduce two groups of friends.  We have spent a "business lifetime" developing relationships with our clients.  We have a fantastic group of people that support us regardless of the venture...and that is humbling.  We get excited to throw this appreciation party for that group of customers because they deserve that sort of "standing ovation."

The other group of friends is our supplier partners that were at the show.  We got SO many compliments on them and their ideas and presentations.  Customers came up to us and told us how each and every one of them took time to try and give them ideas to grow their business.  But we knew they would!  We have really been blessed to grow those relationships as well over the past few years.  And we get excited to see them as they roll into town because they are not just business partners...but friends.

So thank you, to each of our groups of friends, for making this year's event the best one ever.  It was great to have the opportunity to "introduce" these two groups.  Can't wait for our next reason to "party" together!
