Don’t look now but March Madness is wrapping up this week and we still have plenty of work to do. If your job is anything like mine you are going to be scrambling over the next couple days to meet both your Q1 and month-end goals.

The Vernal Equinox has kicked in which should do something to help balance out things out, but that’s up for debate.

I’ve been banging out the chat and slinging those v-cards as the eComXpo kicked off yesterday with another big virtual splash. The Revenue booth had a steady stream of traffic with all kinds of folks coming by to check out what’s new with the magazine, our website and newsletter and without a doubt to win a prize. The Revenue staff will also be there all day today and Thursday to close out the show.

It’s time to tip it up and get the party started on the eve of the 2007 NCAA Basketball Tournament, which gets started on Thursday with a full slate of buzzer beaters, upsets, close calls and Cinderella stories to follow for the next three weeks. Today’s the day to finish up your brackets for the office pool, punch your ticket and jump on board for the big dance!

So what’s college basketball got to do with Revenue magazine? Well, I got three words for you – recruit, recruit, recruit!

March is my favorite time of year and things are about to get cooking – starting with today’s launch of our March email newsletter. And by the time you change your clock, we’ll be ready to roll with the March/April issue of Revenue, which is due to hit the street next week. Let me know what you think when it hits you.
