We had Rama Beerfas from Lev Promotions on the show last April, just a few weeks after the pandemic had hit. Nearly a year later, I wanted to reconnect with her to see how her world had changed and adapted. One thing I was curious about was the shipping issue that she had brought up in the first interview about the difficulty many vendors were having getting things into the country from China. Yes, she chimed in on that and many other issues on this week's TradeshowGuy Monday Morning Coffee. http://levpromotions.com TradeshowGuy's main online hub: https://tradeshowguy.net​​​​​​​ Check out TradeshowGuy Blog at https://tradeshowguyblog.com​​​​​​​ https://tradeshowguyexhibits.com​​​​​​​ http://tradeshowexhibitbuyerskit.com​...​ https://tradeshowsuccessbook.com​​​​​​​ - get your free copy of my book!
