Best Venue to Meet with Wholesalers One-on-One

Submitted by jsmoulton on Wed, 03/17/2010 - 05:12

We were happy with the business that we did. It is one of the best venues for us to meet with wholesalers one-on-one. You can accomplish in three or four days what would normally take three or four months. It is an opportunity for the manufacturer to offer show deals to reward customers for their support as well, and it has helped our business.
