Drop 7: See You in the New Year

Greetings Folio Friends,???

Just 3 short months ago, we officially hit “send” on our very first drop of The Folio. When we set out to launch this platform to the promo industry, our vision was clear; this would extend beyond just a newsletter. The Folio would become our commitment to giving back to this unique community. From seasoned professionals to eager newcomers, owners to sales aficionados, and everyone in between, The Folio is our pledge to each of you. Through the inspiring perspectives and insightful advice of our community of experts, seasoned with a touch of humor and personality, we hope that The Folio has made you ponder, smile, and laugh along the way.???
