Back to Business in September!

We trust everyone had a fantastic summer and wish you a great Labour Day weekend... the last hoorah before summer ends!  Labor Day weekend is known as the biggest travel weekend of the summer just before majority of the schools start up and work gets back to normal.

In this issue we would like to welcome Custom House, a Western Union company is a leading supplier of foreign exchange and provider of international business payments and The Jouta Performance Group, HR experts who bridge the gap between people and business.  Both will be exhibiting at the SOHO|SME in Vancouver on September 16. Brian Keobke helps you get noticed at tradeshow with Designing Effective Trade Show Graphics and Zoheb Mohammed shares with you how you can satisfy customers on your website. Meet our Members of the Week - Tamara Grubisa and Ryan Freeman.

Finally, don’t forget to register for the upcoming SOHO|SME Expo September 16 in Vancouver and feel free to spread the word! We look forward to seeing you at the event! Exhibitor opportunities still available.

Wishing you a great September!
