      Gifting Showcase
      Networking Reception


      Get your gifting products in front of distributors at the PPAF EXPO Networking Reception. PPAF is strongly encouraging all distributors to motivate their clients to plan far in 
      advance for any holiday gifting products and get the order in early.

      Take advantage of our Gifting Showcase at the EXPO.
      We will have high tables scattered around for distributors to preview different products.

      We are looking for high-end products and are limiting the showcase to 2 products per supplier line. These items must be listed with link for approval to ensure it's a premier product and so we don't have duplicates.

      We will provide an acrylic sign that will provide a QR code back to your full holiday catalog/webpage.

      What suppliers will receive:

      • Showcase 2 premier products during networking reception
      • Promotion of products in marketing of event to distributors.
      • Listed as a Showcase Supplier on signage
      • Participate in an pre-event show webinar showcasing your items.
