<\/p>\nThere’s no sweeter phrase in business than “We’re number one” and that distinction belongs to ASI’s Advantages Roadshow. \u00a0The industry’s most successful traveling show is just 5 weeks into its 16-week tour and has already attracted more than 3,000 distributors.<\/p>\n
Next week, the 2010 tour hits Texas<\/a>: Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston. Last year, the Texas portion of the tour drew 617 distributors and 73 supplier companies, giving exhibitors the opportunity to spend time with many more clients and prospects than they could by making traditional sales calls.\u00a0 It’s free for distributors to attend!<\/p>\n Texas – home to the second largest number of distributors – is a lucky state for ASI. In February, ASI Show<\/a><\/em> Dallas attracted distributors from 1,383 firms, along with about 500 suppliers. The show – the largest industry event in the Southwest – returns to Dallas<\/a> next February 16-18, 2011, so mark your calendars.<\/p>\n Each year, the Advantages Roadshow<\/a> visits more than 70 cities throughout North America, including Canada, providing suppliers with an intimate, one-on-one environment to introduce products and services to quality distributors and decorators.\u00a0<\/p>\n And, three times a year, the show co-locates with the Stitches<\/em> Roadshow. \u00a0The two-for-one shows provide decorators with opportunities to meet equipment, software, supply and service providers face-to-face, see new wearables vendors, enjoy valuable education and network with other decorators.<\/p>\n Let me know how the Advantages Roadshows have worked for you by posting a comment or emailing me here<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m also on Twitter<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s no sweeter phrase in business than “We’re number one” and that distinction belongs to ASI’s Advantages Roadshow. \u00a0The industry’s most successful traveling show is just 5 weeks into its 16-week tour and has already attracted more than 3,000 distributors.
