They are sought after, waited upon based on careful calculation and grabbed as they pass by in life’s journey. In the last two editions i.e. April - May and May-June as well as this edition, we have carried a full page advert on the AGOA exhibition that will be happening in the month of August from 3rd to 6th. Needless to say, there are those Esteemed readers who have taken advantage of the advert and have signed up as exhibitors. Congratulations to those who have done this. For they that have not, my opening phrase needs to ring in your mind again. This is a forum that will opened up your organization to the western markets and vice versa. The other point I need to make is that your business will never enjoy too much exposure especially to potential investors, partners, business associates and venture capitalists. For those who cannot make it, I urge you to sign up with Esteemed because we are going to be there. The August - September Edition will be printed out and distributed for free during the AGOA forum. This is not an opportunity that comes every day. Let’s do a little math: 1/8 page ad will cost you Kshs. 4,205/= (costs inclusive VAT). I am sure for a period of two months with part of it being international exposure, this will not be money wasted in advertising. In the magazine this time around, Smart Professionals tell us, through their website, how professionals & business leaders are coping in these uncertain economic times. It is a great read. In addition, we have a great collection of articles look forward to you enjoying them. We make special mention of and congratulate team members of Callkey Networks who took the time and effort to visit Soul Mercy Children’s home. Advertisers in this edition include the upcoming AGOA (African Growth & Opportunities Act), Smart Professionals and White House Restaurant situated along the infamous Ngong Road.
