iPROMOTEu Hosts Supplier Showcase Events Across U.S.
The Counselor Top 40 distributor said its recent events in California, Florida and Tennessee provided invaluable networking opportunities for its affiliates.
Counselor Top 40 distributor iPROMOTEu (asi/232119) recently completed its final three Supplier Showcase events for 2024 at venues in California, Florida and Tennessee.
The series, which connects top independent distributor affiliates with representatives from leading suppliers for group networking and one-on-one meetings, was held at the Hyatt Palm Springs, Embassy Suites Orlando Lake Buena Vista South and Embassy Suites Nashville Downtown.
Suppliers, iPROMOTEu (asi/232119) affiliates and iPROMOTEu staff enjoy dinner at Summer House on the Lake in Orlando.
“The iPROMOTEu Supplier Showcase series is a crucial platform for nurturing strong relationships between our affiliates and leading suppliers,” said Lori Bauer, CEO of iPROMOTEu. “These events offer exceptional opportunities for collaboration, innovation and growth, equipping both our affiliates and suppliers to meet the evolving demands of the market. The insights and connections gained during these showcases are invaluable, fostering mutual success and paving the way for future achievements.”
In addition to networking opportunities, distributor affiliates received previews of new products and insights into the latest industry trends.
“Such a wonderful event to build relationships and friendships,” said Martha Whittier of Golden Key Promotions, who attended the Supplier Showcase in Nashville. “Not only do I obtain tools to increase my business, but I am also able to expand my network of resources.”
The event was also well-received by the suppliers in attendance. Shelley Bednarski, regional business development manager at Counselor Top 40 supplier Bag Makers (asi/37940), said the showcase events were “beautifully done” and that 20-minute meetings with iPROMOTEu affiliates “were the perfect amount of time to give an overview of the services and features offered at Bag Makers.”
iPROMOTEu encompasses more than 1,100 independent distributors and salespeople throughout the U.S. and Canada. Based on 2022 North American promotional products revenue of $209 million, iPROMOTEu ranked 15th on Counselor’s most recent list of the largest distributors in the industry. The 2024 list will be released this summer.
