Attendees said they loved the show.
 
“I’ve found some really great products here today,” said Larry Daigle from Kaeser & Blair, asi/238600. “I enjoy attending the Roadshow because it allows me to find new items, talk with suppliers in an intimate setting and ultimately save time. It’s great to see the new products before my competitors.”
 
Suppliers had a great week.
 
“Traffic has been very steady with everyone gearing up for the New Year,” said Denise Spencer from Broder Bros., asi/42090. “The Roadshows are great because they allow us to see distributors in the region who may not attend the big national shows. They open up a lot of new sales opportunities for us.”
 
A total of 140 attendees enjoyed free education designed to help them expand their business and be prepared to sell in any economic environment. Sessions included “5 Steps to Double Your Sales and Profits in Two Years” and “7 Secrets for Printers: Grow Your Sales with Promotional Products.”
 
Classes can be applied toward certification credit in the Advertising Specialty Institute Certification Program.
