Default Re: Is ASI show worth it for EMB?

I would suggest finding several key suppliers and sticking with them, perhaps maybe you have to visit a few shows to find them, maybe they will find you. After that, they all seem to duplicate each other and you can spend a lot of time, effort and money looking and buying samples etc. Nothing worse then finding some new vendor, order in samples, selling an order...and then find out they can't deliver.

Also keep in mind that some vendors offer free freight on orders over a certain size. Grouping smaller orders together can help you get to that amount.

Isn't it something, we scurry all over looking for every possible thing...and Land's End is successful with one thin catalog. I think I like their business model.
