February 1998
Short Cuts:ETC.
Fewer than 8 percent of visitors at a trade
show booth are greeted with a handshake, revealed a study by The
Incomm Center for Trade Show Research in Chicago. Another study by
the group demonstrated the value of a handshake: More than half of
strangers lied when asked if they had found a quarter left at a
public phone. When first greeted with a handshake, however, only 24
percent lied, reported Trade Show News Network (www.tsnn.com).
Dinner's in the bag... Nearly half of Americans
are cooking fewer meals at home than they were two years ago,
according to a recent survey by the National Restaurant
Association. More than 34 percent admit they eat more takeout
food.
