Exhibiting Companies and the Masonry Showcase
Exhibiting companies were hesitant to participate in trade shows in light of the wavering economy after September. The Masonry Showcase proved to be a winning decision for everyone involved. "We were very impressed with Masonry Showcase 2002 in Phoenix. The attention to detail and service allowed us to generate quality sales. Thank you for making our presence known to the masonry market. The Masonry Showcase is the "BEST" trade show that Poly Master has participated in during 2002. We base that victory on exposure, eye to eye proposals and follow-up sales. We know that MCAA cares. You cannot hide the facts, and our proof is our commitment to show in Tampa in 2003!" raved Charlie Lenox, CMS of PolyMaster Foam.
Rhino Tool's Experience
Rhino Tool's David Rael stated, "We were unsure of what to expect in Phoenix, but this was our absolute best show ever. Attendees were more involved and interested in what we were doing. It was great; we weren't just standing around for 5 days."
Social Events
Many opportunities are given for socializing and networking. Attendees, exhibitors, suppliers, dealers, architects and special guests of the Masonry Showcase all gather to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with their peers. "This industry is based on relationships. I make business decisions every day based on my relationships with architects, suppliers and dealers," offers Richard Felice of Forrest & Associates.
