Florida Rep Kevin Ambler and Senator Paula Dockery Visit ASI’s Promo Products Show in Orlando

Florida’s Economy is Resilient and Every Bumper Sticker is Worth 3-6 Votes 

TREVOSE, PAJanuary 6, 2010  Florida State Representative Kevin Ambler and Senator Paula Dockery visited the ASI Show in Orlando and discussed the future of Florida’s economy and one of their favorite promotional items – the vinyl bumper sticker.     

Mr. Ambler said forecasters predict that Florida’s economy will start to rebound in the summer of 2010 and that Florida is resilient.  He encouraged small-business owners to contact their banks to work out possible solutions to any credit issues they are experiencing.  In addition, Mr. Ambler noted that his favorite promotional item is the tried-and-true bumper sticker – which he said accounts for about three to six votes for a candidate.

On Monday, Florida Senator Paula Dockery also visited the show.  She discussed how promotional products companies contribute jobs to the Florida economy – particularly small businesses with 600 to 700 employees.  Ms. Dockery also says she has plans to incorporate bumper stickers into her 10-month gubernatorial campaign.
