Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Risks and uncertainties	The impact on our business of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. As such, we are uncertain of the impact on our future financial condition, liquidity and/or results of operations. This uncertainty affected several of the assumptions made and estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. As discussed in Note 8, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a goodwill impairment triggering event during the first quarter of 2020, as the adverse economic effects of the pandemic materially decreased demand for the products and services we provide to our customers. The extent to which the pandemic will continue to impact our business depends on future developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic, the impact of variants of the virus, the distribution and effectiveness of vaccines, business and workforce disruptions and the ultimate number of businesses that fail. Our evaluation of asset impairment required us to make assumptions about these future events over the life of the assets being evaluated. This required significant judgment and actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. As a result of the continuing impact of COVID-19, we may be required to record additional goodwill or other asset impairment charges in the future.We held loans and notes receivable from our Promotional Solutions distributors of $21,729 as of September 30, 2021. These distributors sell our products and services primarily to small businesses, which have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2021, our allowance for expected credit losses on these receivables was $2,837. We utilized all information known to us in determining this allowance, as well as allowances related to our trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may be required to record additional bad debt expense in the future. Additionally, uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 could affect estimates we made regarding inventory obsolescence and workers' compensation liabilities and thus, could result in additional expense in the future.
