By far our number one category for products sold are Branded Apparel, AKA Wearables. Spring is the perfect time to talk about wearables with all of the corporate events on your customer's marketing calendars. Team events like company picnics, baseball outings, team building activities. Sporting events, like baseball outings, corporate sponsored golf outings, 5K runs. The list is endless. Suggestion, anytime you sell any wearable, be sure to present a high end Golf shirt or Dress shirt, there will always be executives who will recognize the value of buying our products with a logo rather than pay retail with a little polo pony on the left chest. Our brands like Chestnut Hill from Alpha are made in the very same factories as people like Brooks brothers, often from the same material with better features like higher quality buttons or stitching. So our featured vendors for this month are: Alpha/Broder NES and IMPRINTS WHOLESALE (They are all ONE company so no need to ask us to have all quote) and our top preferred decorator, TWO FISH APPAREL.

We are still a long way from filling up our events (even though we have had many more "verbal" commitments), please take the time this week to get us your reservations for the sales meeting and awards celebration. You cannot afford NOT to be here, I guarantee you will learn more and earn more in 2013 if you come to this event. This could be a one time event and your one chance to come to Cincinnati and join your peers to celebrate another record year.

UP CLOSE and PERSONAL:

This is your chance to come and meet with the top suppliers in our industry, many are sending not only their local reps but their national account executives as well as corporate executives. The suppliers are "all in" when it comes to our event. I walked the local trade show last week and I can tell you they are excited to be invited. It was by exclusive special invitation and I have had other suppliers asking to join the event.

Here is how it will work, on Tuesday each vendor is assigned a PRIVATE meeting space, each rep in attendance will be assigned a "starting room" and then you will travel from room to room all day meeting with each supplier. No "trick or treat" trade show format for us.

Watch your Friday Newsletter for April 12th for a complete list of all of our suppliers who will be there to meet you.

I promise, there is NOTHING more important than these two and half day events.

Wednesday: We have had many people ask if they can attend both the HUMPHREY plant tour as well as the Proforma Albrecht Office Tour. Sure thing, we will be here all day Wednesday so just hop on the morning tour of Humphrey and come on back to the office and spend the afternoon.
