Many just dump that mail and never read it . Then the phone calls begin.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actually, Terri is right - if you send your acknowledgements as mass mailings (one message addressed to all exhibitors) then you have a problem. First, all the exhibitors know who will be at the show (not good) and secondly, most internet providers will treat it as SPAM and it will end up in the garbage. The only way to avoid these problems is to do individual e-mails. It is a bit more labor intensive but it does get the message to the exhibitor and it is most of all - prompt. Our premium list entry form includes a place for your e-mail address and if they fill it in, I will send them the acknowledgement in that format. Personally, as an exhibitor, I like it because of the promptness. As a show secretary, it is a saving to the club and much more prompt.
