TRASA June 2024 Newsletter

President’s Message


TRASA Members,

 

With the summer months around the corner, I hope that you are planning for the dog days of summer.

 

Whether you participate in Take Your Dog to Work Day on June 21, celebrate National Hot dog day on July 20, or enjoy National Ice Cream Day on July 21, the opportunities to pitch promo products to your clients is endless. Are you looking for new ways to introduce promo to your clients? Look at the upcoming observances click here.

 

TRASA is looking at new ways to build membership. On September 17, TRASA is partnering with PAPPA (Philadelphia Area Promotional Products Association) to provide the Central PA Client Expo at the Barn at Creek’s Bend in Carlisle, PA. This new show will provide an opportunity for distributors in central PA and the surrounding area to attend and invite their clients. The Barn is conveniently located a few minutes from the PA Turnpike. Distributor membership is NOT required for this year’s show. All distributors are welcome to attend and invite their clients. All we ask is that everyone pre-register so that we can plan accordingly. 

 

TRASA remains on the road that week with the next stop in Wexford for the September 18 Fall Showcase & Client Expo at the Chadwick and then we wrap-up the week in Erie with the September 19 Erie Client Expo. Distributor registration for all three shows September 17-19 will open soon. Check the TRASA website for details www.trasa.net.

 

Happy Selling!

 

Jenn Edwards

TRASA President
