PPAI Expo2016 – Not Just About Promotional Products But Business Relations As Well
With every New Year comes the PPAI Expo, the largest promotional product tradeshow in the US. This year’s expo at Vegas was attended by over 11,000 promotional products distributors and approximately 1,300 promotional products suppliers who exhibited their logo gifts over 1,000,000 square feet area.
PPAI expo is not just about custom gifts and the latest trends but also provides a platform for forging business relations and to fine hone the networking and marketing skills. These events that were held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center drew a huge crowd and we were privileged to be part of that well informed crowd.
Benefits of PPAI Expo
Meet, greet and staying updated
Meeting new Suppliers – The PPAI Expo gives a tremendous opportunity for everyone to meet new suppliers and to get acquainted with the latest product lines and to ensure networking with other distributors in a fun and friendly manner.
Greeting Old Friends – Tradeshows that are as massive as the PPAI expos bring together people from all around the country, which gave us all a rare opportunity to make new friends and to catch up with the old friends.
Staying updated: Marketing is a continuously evolving field and to stay ahead in this competition, we have to fine hone the skills and be updated on the most trending and successful methods of advertising. We strongly feel that PPAI expo makes a massive platform to get on top of the latest promotional ideas.
Brain storming sessions: We had a great time interacting with the marketing masterminds and experts and picked up a few tips that will go a long way in making milestones during the days ahead.
Fun: PPAI expo was not all about high pressure marketing interactions, workshops and interactive sessions. We had our fair share of laughter and fun as we waded through never ending displays of promotions gifts in the company of other promotional product experts. The fact that promotional bags were the stars of this tradeshow gave us added pleasure. Custom bags that were featured in countless booths revealed some of the most innovative ideas in terms of designs, colors and material choices during the PPAI expo and we hope to bring these innovative items to our customers in the future.
PPAI has unveiled some of the hottest products to look out for in 2016. So for those who have been looking for some unique promotional gifts that you may not come across on a regular basis, Vegas expos would have the perfect place to be in.
