Greetings!
NACE is fast approaching! And we need your help.
We're putting together a show guide for NACE 2010 and we'll be highlighting certain exhibitors for our fall issue. If you know one of your suppliers has a booth at NACE, could you mention our guide to them? Even if they have a product at someone else's booth.
It will amount to free editorial coverage for the exhibitor, so they'll appreciate finding out. And it will help us tell the Canadian crowd which booths they should keep an eye open for and which products they can easily get in their facilities without setting up a cross-border smuggling ring.
The deadline for getting information in is August 31. If you email me at [email protected] I can send you the quick form we've drawn up (keeps things consistent).
And--because I get this question a lot--I'd like to emphasize that there are no costs associated for getting in the guide. If it's interesting, available to Canadians and showing at NACE, we want to hear about it. See you next week. Take care,
-Joe Rayment Editor, Collision Repair Magazine [email protected] |
