TREVOSE, PA – June 5, 2012 – The 2012 Advantages Roadshow ended its winter-spring tour in western Canada after visiting nearly 40 cities across the United States and Canada.

Designed to bring together suppliers and distributors, the Advantages Roadshow provides a productive venue for distributors to stay on the cutting edge without traveling far from home.

“We had a terrific year,” said Nick DiNicola, general manager of the Advantages Roadshow. “We continually hear that the roadshow format offers suppliers the perfect opportunity to target key cities while meeting face-to-face with a unique group of clients and prospects who traditionally do not attend other regional events. We are presently working on the 2013 Advantages Roadshow schedule and look forward to rolling out some exciting new features to next year’s events.”

It was time well spent.”

The productive roadshow schedule offers distributors a valuable business-building experience, without spending a lot of time away from the office.

“We got to stay closer to home and avoid hundreds of miles of travel – not to mention the expense – while still meeting with top suppliers who gave us innovative ideas to grow our business when we need it most,” said distributor Cyrene Beavis of Cyrene & Co. (asi/341024). “The show is a no-hassle way to accomplish an awful lot in a short amount of time.”
