Upcoming Event. I’m Excited!!
by Joe Whiteside
It’s that time of the year again. Trade show season! I love it!
There are so many benefits to attending trade shows. I would say the most important would be the business connections you get. I could not begin to tell you how much money I have made just from attending a trade show. Meeting new suppliers, finding new products to sell or even pitching my own products to the vendors. There is definitely money to be made just from attending a trade show in the industry you’re in.
Well tomorrow I will be attending the NBM Show in Charlotte, NC. The NBM (i forgot what it stands for and I don’t feel like Googling it) is a combination of three shows in one.
1. Sign Business and Digital Graphics Show
2. The Printwear Show
3. The Awards and Engraving show
There will be a ton of info there concerning printing shirts and promo items not to mention the other two shows that will have equally great info.
I hope to come back with a few ideas for you, my readers. I will also be secretly approaching businesses to get them to distribute one of my top selling products.
Of course I will keep you posted if I find any good stuff to share with you.
Talk with you later
I used to work for an economic development agency and didn’t really get much out of trade events, but now I’m in the private sector maybe I should rethink that. I’m working on an office supplies project, so maybe a trade show could work.
