Aaron Baker, Vice-President of Sales & Marketing, and his small army of Pepperjammers finally got back late last night from a successful trip to Internet Retailer Chicago.

Pepperjam exhibited at the event and according to Aaron and his team the event was an incredible success. Dozens of advertisers approached our exhibit booth and were prepared to sign contracts on the spot to launch affiliate programs on Pepperjam Network. Clearly, in addition to the natural buzz that has been circulating on Pepperjam Network being the fastest growing affiliate network in the United States (nobody else is close), there was quite a bit of chatter about our recent partnership with eBay. In short, Aaron wanted to pass on a special hello to the hundreds of people he and his team had an opportunity to meet while in Chicago.

I’m also proud to announce that the gang came home with the coveted “Haiku Championship” that was given out as part of the Haiku competition at the Pepperjam / Vintage Tub & Bath Internet Retailer VIP Dinner (Thanks to everyone who voted for us!). This is Pepperjam’s second “Haiku Championship” - the first was a Haiku I delivered at Search-Engine Strategies in Chicago a year or two back.

FYI - Haiku is a kind of Japanese poetry. The typical format of a Haiku is three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.

Aaron delivered the winning Haiku, which I’m happy to share with you here…
