Franchise Show next week!

7/23/2012

0 Comments

 
Our franchisor (Adventures in Advertising) hosts the annual National Sales Summit next week in St Charles IL.  I always look forward to catching up with our family of owners, and all the important people that help us behind the scenes at AIA in Neenah Wisconsin.One of the highlights of our week is the MVP supplier tradeshow.
This is where the difference is made in our business as we learn about new product, case histories , new products, new trends, and what others have done for successful promotions in our industry. Above all though, we solidify and rekindle the vendor relationships that take us through another year. How it manifests value to our clients? It's the  tight network of professionals that are ready , willing and ABLE to help with their promotional marketing.
We'll , no doubt , be back with an extraordinary amount of creative ideas, along with a huge boost of energy to help our clients make the last quarter of the year their best!
Pictures and posts to follow soon.

Oh ..and how could I forget our awards night banquet. This year I've got 2 entries submitted. One for a client promotion we've put together for a new logo roll out for New England Rehabilitation Hospital as well as one of my self promotional  holiday catalog mailers. Wish me luck!

Just back from the ASI Orlando Tradeshow

What a flurry of activity....and FUN!
I always love the first promotional products tradeshow of the year. Great way to jumpstart motivation and excitement  as well as connecting with our great vendor reps. Just what I needed to get the creative brain in gear for the new year.

 Oh and seeing Mini and Mickey at our private Disney event wasn't bad either! I was dragged to the Mount Everest roller coaster which actually goes backwards in the dark.. And speaking of thrills...our keynote event with Bill Oreilly and James Carville was worth the early rising. And we all know that neither of them are opinionated (grin), we got some good insight and "bloviating" on  the Republican race.

 Some trends from the tradeshow floor... 
Gray is the NEW black!
And..Lot's of jewel tone colors for bags and apparel. Deep purples, orange, teals, green and GRAY. And the trend continues to add more and more womens styles and companion pieces. NICE and very retail oriented.

The new items will be posted to my facebook page (www.facebook.com/blackbearpromotions) as the images start to roll in...you'll be seeing lots of products for IPADS, Tablets, mobile phones, and the like.
Mobile phone holders abound. Some really cool designs and lots of options for full color graphics.

For the sweet tooths...Lindt chocolate has now joined our industry, with custom logo'd  candy bar wrappers! Their white chocolate is just as delish as the dark and milk chocolate. Lots of sample wrappers in my bag to show
 I did my due diligence in testing their consistency. ;0)

Stay tuned for more ....
