If you wish to discontinue receiving this newsletter, please return placing "Unsubcribe" in the subject line" I just want to comment on how the internet is changing business but I believe there is some lack of thinking as far as pre-planning promotions. I know you travel a lot but I do not know how much in advance you typically make travel plans. I know I pre-plan at a minimum of a few weeks unless there was a death somewhare and I wanted to attend. Communication is almost instant via email on the internet but I believe it would take me as long to get to Hong Kong now as it did in 1992. I am laughing at this because for me to attend, I would likely have to make reservations now and be on a flight no later than this Tuesday in the AM. Let's ignore the fact that a high volume business weekend is coming up in the US for the jewelry industry due to Mother's Day.Anyhow, I have never been to Hong Kong but surely am not going to miss the Mother's Day sales, drop all other appointments and book the first flight I can to Hong Kong today. It appears the industry people need to catch up with the technology. Geezzz...LOL.
