Dear exhibitor,
The Western Imprint Canada Show is fast approaching with buyer registration progressing well, along with an enthusiastic response to the PromoQuest end-buyer hours portion of the Show!
Imprint Canada has been contacting corporate buyers to encourage them to attend with their promotional distributors. Most recently, we advertised the event in Business Edge magazine, a bi-weekly publication distributed to businesses throughout Canada. You may view the ad on page 32 (outside back cover) at: http://www.businessedge.ca/images/profiles/business_edge_vol16_issue2_july6.pdf
END-BUYER HOURS GUIDELINES:
We remind exhibitors that there is a sensitivity with which exhibitors should conduct themselves in the presence of end-buyers.
Trade buyers (distributors) can be concerned that some exhibitors may attempt to deal with their clients directly, and so exhibitors should be respectful of this and address the end-buyers in a manner that demonstrates that you are there to support the distributor.
Exhibitors are permitted to display their company and brand names and markings in their booths and on their materials distributed at the event, however sample order forms, and special pricing/incentives targeted at distributors may not be displayed or discussed in the presence of end-buyers.
Exhibitors may provide suggested retail prices (coded) during the designated end-buyer hours, however net costs and/or discounts are prohibited from exhibitor materials and from dialogue in the presence of end-buyers.
EXHIBITOR FORMS:
If you have not yet completed and returned your exhibitor kit forms, we remind you to do so in order to take advantage of free and discounted promotions. You may find the forms here: https://www.imprintcanada.com/wics2017-exhibitorkit/
