 Summer Redux
It's hard to believe that August is already here. After the recent spate of summer shows, vendors and retailers are looking forward to new SKUs bringing a fresh perspective and revitalized sales. While no one wants to rush these last weeks before Autumn starts, make sure to put a last minute push into some Summer marketing! With trends changing every minute, strike while the iron (and weather) is HOT and take advantage of some of our favorites in the "Fall Forecast!"

FALL FORECAST
 While the weather will be cooling off in the next month or so, the stationery world will be heating up. Trends in social stationery are always shifting so vendors and retailers must always be ready to adapt. Finding ways to incorporate emerging fads into existing product mixes is a perpetual dance, but the themes that we have seen appearing throughout the summer will complement what has already made an impact in the marketplace. Here are a few of our favorite up-and-coming powerhouses in the world of paper.
