ABOUT THE SHOW DIRECTORY
The Show Directory is the Association's single most valuable marketing tool. It lists the many agents involved in the Buymart, along with their address, telephone and fax numbers, and lines represented.
Every retailer attending the Buymart receives the book, which provides valuable assistance to them in arranging their appointments during the show - and it serves as a useful reference afterwards.
Advertising is an important part of our show book. This is an excellent opportunity to advertise at an economical price to a very targeted audience.
