7. Your 2 Cents Worth
Bon appétit! Even in the bustle of the tradeshows, the gift industry takes time to enjoy the little luxuries: 57 percent of voters in last week’s poll eat in nice restaurants while at market. Convenience comes first for another 21 percent who eat in the convention center/mart itself, and 14 percent put their feet up and treat themselves to room service! Only 7 percent chose fast food, and not a single respondent headed home or packed a picnic.
