On Thursday 5 June, Dowlis hosted their own Merchandise Showcase at Oatlands Hotel, Weybridge. Supported by 30 of our suppliers Dowlis attracted a great number of quality client contacts to come along and join us for this special 40th Anniversary event.
As a distributor we are heavily reliant on our suppliers and they did us proud, engaging with clients, educating buyers and reinforcing the value and impact promotional merchandise can have in their marketing activity. The event was a relaxed affair with many clients walking the show themselves and discussing their projects directly with suppliers. Guests were also treated to lunch, afternoon tea and special 40th Birthday cupcakes, prize draws and a putting competition with Shannon, who assures us she doesn’t play golf, the worthy winner.
A great effort by the whole Dowlis team and our suppliers. We look forward to planning our next event.
