#To50andBeyond I’ll share more pics of our fabulous Expo day another time. Many of you know the majority of our company posts/my posts are written well in advance of them being published. I usually spend a block of time once a week or so scheduling them. They are also posted at planned times. 🥱Not this post. It’s past 9pm on a Wednesday night. And I’m posting it right away. I’m physically tired after a day at the annual BOMA/IFMA/IREM Expo. My brain on the other hand, is still up and awake, 😵💫going over the day and all the people we talked to. It was our 16th consecutive year exhibiting. Matt is the creative one-our booth decoration is always 100% his. Some years he does an elaborate booth and some years we’re a bit pared down. He kept it simple this year and that is fine with me! We have a lot of great changes happening in our company right now. We’re also celebrating 50 years in business. It was so fun to share some of this with everyone today. I’ve shared before that the last 4 years have been filled with challenges for our company and for the people working in it, including me. It’s days like today which remind me of all the great relationships we’ve been building over the years. People ask, “did you have a good show?” A good show to us is not necessarily one which generates new business. For us, this show is about customer relations, getting reacquainted, and retaining business we have. Of course, we always add new business after this show. 16 consecutive Industry Expos. We wouldn’t have a company without our customers. I hope all could see today how much we appreciate them. This is the good kind of tired. Over the past few years there has been too much of the bad kind of tired. I’m excited to be the good kind of tired a little more often! #bomastl #iremstl #stlouis #smallbusiness #supportlocal
