MARKET PREVIEW
Chill Out With Some
Cool Savings
Get Ready for the Blish-Mize Fall Buying Market, Sept. 15-16
Opportunities for savings, education and
connections will abound at the Market,
with the return of well-known and popular
areas, such as THE 24 and educational
seminars, as well as a new addition: live
demonstrations on the show floor. The
Market will be a chance for you to update
your product offerings and enhance your
own knowledge of products and industry
practices, according to Blish Connor,
communications director for Blish-Mize.
“The opportunities for savings that will
be available will help our customers make
the most of their trip to the Fall Buying
Market,” Connor says. “I’m looking
forward to seeing everyone there for a
great weekend.”
Learning Local
How often do retailers stress to
their customers that shopping local
helps keep dollars local and out of the
pockets of big-box stores? Blish-Mize and
the North American Retail Hardware
Association (NRHA) are looking to
make that argument an easier one
with two presentations at the Fall
Buying Market.
Dan Tratensek, executive vice president
with NRHA, will conduct seminars on
T
he savings will
be as diverse
as the colors
of the leaves this fall
at the Blish-Mize Fall
Buying Market.
It will
be held Sept. 15-16
at the Overland Park
Convention Center in
Overland Park, Kansas.
Vendors will have products across all categories on display throughout the two-day show. Take time at the Market to look for new products,
network with other Blish-Mize customers, meet with members of the Blish-Mize staff and more.
