In 2018, Western Union Financial Services, Inc. participated in Financial Service Convention in Las Vegas with over 700 Attendees. At a Gala event on the last evening, we contracted with him a (Poet) as entertainment at the Western Union Booth. During a 3 hour event, we were astonished at the response of attendees coming to our booth and all visiting with us about our services while they waited for the Poet to write them a Poem that they could take home to their “significant other”.His setup was rather simple with a table and an old-fashioned typewriter, and preprinted cards that indicated the poem was compliments of Western Union. But his dress, behavior, and attitude made a tremendous impact on hundreds of people that evening. As the evening was ending, people were still standing in line waiting for a poem, and he stayed beyond his contracted time to make sure all that was still waiting were able to receive a poem.The event was a big hit with attendees, and I would recommend him as (The Poet) for events such as these where you are trying to draw a crowd to your booth and overall business. I can see his service being used at Company Holiday Parties for internal employees, or at the many Conventions throughout the year. As a Corporate Sponsor, we were very well pleased with him and his services, and even more pleased with the draw it provided to the Western Union booth at our event.Sincerely,
Darton Stradling Regional Director – West Region The Western Union Company
