Today’s BNI meeting had so many great guests. It was kind of insane. El Parador’s staff had to add a table. Yeah!

This was a high energy meeting with great referrals and testimonials.

One pleasant surprise was the welcome addition of my wife Sami. She is a Mary Kay Consultant and very good with customers. I was impressed with her 60 second commercial. Nice job hun

We also had 3 people present representing health and wellness solutions. Let’s hope one of them sees the value of joining and gets that application in.

We had an electrician present. That’s great. We need him. We have a very strong group of professionals who work in/on your home. He would be a great addition.

A very nice woman named Morella came with some very fancy handbags. Sadly my wife bought one. My kids ate ramen tonight. Just kidding, they love ramen.

Overall it was a great meeting. If you want to know more, please contact me. Seeing is believing.

I’ve decided to start sharing what I’ve learned from dance cards and meeting the many interesting people in Tucson.

My first entry if for Dee Anne, the Director of Sales for AdVision. Her company places ads on all the bus stops in Tucson. That is a lot of bus stops.

Dee Anne has 25 years in the ad business. She started in radio in New Orleans and moved to Clear Chanel Radio in Tucson. She was recently offered a nice job with AdVision and had taken to it like a fish to water. She’s a really nice lady.

Dee Anne explained that her company has benches and signs all over Tucson and that advertising on them cost way less then you would imagine. Benches start at $37.50 per week. (That’s $150 for 4 weeks!) There is a one time fee to make the banner/artwork that goes in the ad, but you can use that for years. The posters last 9-12 months on the streets.

As a web site developer and host, I strongly encourage people to get their website out there. If you’ve ever driven across town, you’ve probably seen at least one bench ad.

If this sounds like something that would work for you, call AdVision at 520/292-6200 and tell them Nohl sent you
