Shaw Announces 2008 Regional Market Plans

Dalton, GA, October 25, 2007- Shaw’s lineup of regional winter markets for retailers, themed “Innovation,” will be held in January.

According to Reggie Newton, Shaw’s vice president of marketing, the modified schedule will be more focused and efficient.

“The regional markets have worked well for our retail customers, and attendance continues to increase year after year,” Newton said.

“The events are designed to introduce Shaw’s new products and programs, and to allow Shaw management and sales personnel time to provide our customers quality, individual attention.”

The Shaw Green Edge initiatives will continue, and new eco-friendly introductions will include an addition to Shaw’s recyclable Anso nylon Visions collection, called Savvy Spaces. Anso nylon’s 40th birthday celebration will kick-off during the markets.
