NAFCD To Hold Business Development Day

Chicago, IL, Jan. 16, 2009--The North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) will hold a first-of-its-kind Business Enhancement Day, which will take place during NAFCD's 2009 Annual Meeting.

The day is one of the new features being added to this year’s meeting, and will take place Tuesday, Sept. 22, at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel in Glendale, Ariz.

The purpose is to encourage manufacturers and allied members to host private meetings or events at the NAFCD conference. Manufacturers choose what they wish to offer to distributor members, i.e. training sessions, social events, sales meetings or product updates.

“This day allows non-competitive time for manufacturers to hold vendor type meetings at the conference,” says Executive Vice President Maurice Desmarais.

“Manufacturers can have a training session, meet privately with their distributor base or host a social function. This will significantly save them money since they already have the products and people there for display, and it saves on sending representatives to each distributor. Also, if they have a new process or product, this day allows them to meet with their distributor base only.”
