sale...

I was in Staples yesterday and the rep that was helping me told me that they are being forced to clear out all of their "Staples brand" ink and laser cartridges because the manufacturers of the brand name printers won't agree to sell their units there if Staples competes with the supplies.

Anyway, the sales were pretty good; just an inside scoop, if you're interested in stocking up.

Five Alive

"Five Alive" lists... bite sized lists that you can create your own action items, ideas, plans or proposals out of:
  1. A few easy Google Hacks (personally I love the autofill for forms online).
  2. Current read and where to find it cheap (click image):
  3. Quote of the day: "There are no traffic jams along the extra mile." -Roger Staubach
  4. Resource: Why participate in the eastern fairs this year? : Thousands of easterners are still heading west for school and work. Why not your school? If "it's not in the budget" is your response... can you afford not to?
  5. schoolfinder.com... have you seen your profile there? There's a searchable database of programs and everything, check it out.

Do you use your personal luggage for your work travel? It's one thing for your clothing, but if your expensive luggage is filled with catalogues, getting trashed trip after trip when you're out recruiting, it may be a viable option to request a new budget line. There's some on sale at Canadian Tire right now; 3 piece set for $30 (click image):


Who's going to YC Alberta? What hotel are you staying at? I hope to have our print material with me to give those attending YC. We will likely have a get-together as well, maybe Sunday brunch? Stay tuned.

The King's University College is hiring a Financial Aid coordinator, if you're interested, contact Hilda for more information: hilda.buisman@kingsu.ca

Anyone looking for new displays this year? Let's see if we can coordinate some discounts if we all agree to use the same supplier. We have used Zibit in the past; I have heard that Displayco is good, but I was unable to negotiate a deal or sponsorship with them last year... This year I am using Studios Creative for the CCUFairs displays as part of their sponsorship last year, and I think they may do a group discount for a minimum order. Comment below or email me if you're interested and I will drum up some more details.

Don't forget about the looming deadline to apply to be a Regional PR Representative for this year's fairs (April 13). I anticipate it being a very strategic way to increase our attendance at the fairs this year. Email me for a job description/application.

Have a fabulous weekend, blog at ya later :)
