Today, we ran a post from Hal on the importance of interacting with your customers at events. Well, today the Benchmark team will be at one of those events, myself included.

    \n
  1. Our smiles.<\/b>\u00a0Seriously. They\u2019re pretty great (if we say so ourselves). We\u2019re happy to chat with each any every person that stops by our booth.<\/li>\n
  2. 40:1.<\/b>\u00a0On July 25th we\u2019re hosting a Live Google Hangout to tell you all about the incredible ROI that can be achieved with email marketing. Both hosts will be manning the booth. Get a sneak peak or find out why you should attend.<\/li>\n
  3. Find out all about Benchmark Email & Events.<\/b>\u00a0It\u2019s just another opportunity to ask any possible question you may have about our tools. We\u2019ll have a slew of Benchmark team members on hand.<\/li>\n
  4. Ask Andy merch.<\/b>\u00a0You want an Ask Andy mouse pad? Here\u2019s your shot. There may even be memo pads, but we cannot confirm that rumor.<\/li>\n
  5. Food suggestions.<\/b>\u00a0I always walk around a bunch to socialize with other booths. It\u2019s part of my job … and also because I love sampling all the various restaurants. Come by our booth and ask me which are the best.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
