First Power Meeting of 2016 Is Huge Success

45 supplier companies and 41 distributor attendees took part in Power Meeting in Scottsdale

The sun was shining over Promo Marketing's very successful Power Meeting, held March 14 through 17 in Scottsdale, Ariz. Attendees received numerous product samples, including sunglasses from Hit Promotional Products, Largo, Fla., and towels from Pittsburgh-based Pro Towels, ensuring everyone was ready for poolside networking.

“We are thrilled to start 2016 off with a successful Power Meeting event in Scottsdale," Meghan DeFrancesco, vice president, publisher and brand director, Promo Marketing, said. "It simply never gets old seeing all of the meaningful connections and business relationships that are built as a result of our events. We look forward to keeping our momentum going through 2016 and beyond, and to ensuring that each event is better than the last."

Promo Marketing's Power Meetings never cease to impress event attendees with the unique one-on-one private-meeting format between leading industry supplier partners and top-selling distributor members.

The 45 supplier companies and 41 distributor attendees participated in 20-minute, prescheduled meetings throughout the four days at the Scottsdale Marriott Suites Old Town hotel. Private dinners were provided at offsite restaurants, including The Clayton on the Park and the Old Town Tortilla Factory.

Attendees only had positive feedback following the event.

"Thanks again for an outstanding Power Meeting," Art Lurie, vice president, Total Promotions, said. "I have already incorporated a number of the new items into a few of my company stores."

"Thank you all for such a successful event," Laurie C. Wilcoxen, owner of Excel Business Forms, said. "I think we all came away thoroughly delighted with the people and companies we met. I know I sure did, and have already had two new orders on two new products."

"Amazing! The best meeting ever," said Bob Gray, sales partner for Public Identity Inc. "I will return if ever invited again."
