Everyone has their favorite court reporting company or at least a couple of firms that they know they can always depend on to never let them down and cut them some slack when they give less than the required cancellation notice. But what kinds of "swag" do you get from court reporters that you really use?
Everyone loves cookies, especially yours truly, and the trend in the last few years has been "get-acquainted lunches, dinners, cocktails" and such. However, many firms don't allow secretaries and paralegals to accept items from vendors which have a high monetary value.
I have received many nice marketing tools over the years. On the other hand, I've received some things that I would put in the category of "doo-hickeys" or even "dust catchers." I'd be curious to know what you've received lately that was of particular use.
One court reporting service brought me the nice laminated calendars for 2012 a couple of months ago. That's always useful. Especially with the court crowding and dates being extended out for months - even years.
I also got a very helpful sewing kit which is perfect for emergencies. Highlighters are nice and I can always use notepads. Mousepads are cool but you can only use one at a time.
And, while we're on the subject, what do you look for in court reporting services? Do you like a large firm or do you tend to go with the smaller independent?
This is just "food for thought."
Let me know what you think. This isn't a formal survey, but "inquring minds" want to know.
It's Thursday, guys. We're almost there!
