OUR DISTRIBUTOR TRADE SHOWS PROVIDE DIRECT CONTACT BETWEEN MANUFACTURER PARTNERS AND INDEPENDENT RETAILERS AND OTHER ACCOUNTS.

Manufacturer Partners have the opportunity to present established products and introduce new ones to retailers they might not otherwise see. They gain unique retailer insights and regional market information which are valuable planning tools, as are the detailed sales results data available at the end of the show. The shows are also an ideal forum for educating Distributor salespeople about new products and programs.

Attending retailers can restock staple items, add new products and categories, and re-energize their retail environment. They learn about promotional programs and gain a national market perspective. Retailers are motivated to write orders when they attend the Distributor shows, knowing that they will receive the best pricing and terms of the year.
