PromoKitchen Coronavirus Diaries: Coronavirus and the Promotional Products Industry
In this special episode, Mark Graham and Danny Rosin welcome back long time guest, Paul Bellantone, CEO of PPAI. We all know the industry is going through a challenging time as we grapple with the impact of the coronavirus. On this particular recording date, March 13, 2020, stock markets are crashing, suppliers are being run off their feet with hand sanitizer orders, distributor sales forecasts are being rewritten, employees are being asked to work from home, end clients are cancelling events in droves and some people are getting sick. And it feels like we’re at the very beginning of what could be a long and difficult journey.
We even hear from a special guest at the end of the podcast who shares how a 10 year old sees the pandemic.
