Trade Show:

SAWD 2006 Annual Meeting & Exposition
June 14 - June 17, 2006

Why Exhibit at Southern Showcase 2006?

The 14 states that comprise the region covered by the Southern contain 47% of all c-stores in the country as reported in Trade Dimensions 2005 Directory of Convenience Stores. Specifically, that 47% is made up of over 64,000 c-stores...the majority of which are serviced by wholesale distributors who are members of the Southern Association of Wholesale Distributors and many of which will be in attendance at Southern Showcase 2006.

The ROI for exhibit dollars is significantly greater at the Southern Showcase not only because of the large number of retailers that our members service, but also because of the comparatively low cost to exhibit. At $1,400 for a 10' x 10' space at a show that allows you to sell product to wholesalers that service 47% of the c-stores in the country...we are the best bargain in town.
