Half a Century of Professional Bodies in Sales Promotion Available to Purchase

Tries to piece together a brief jigsaw of sales' various promotional bodies and their history. States that the year of 1933, which was the year when the British Sales Promotion Association was conceived, was not followed by its American equivalent until 23 years later. Discusses, in depth, the Association's early years from its inauguration with six members to its growth years, taking in the Second World War, which of course delayed progress everywhere. Says that the association grew to be 700 members and still growing in 1983.
