In a continued effort to get that Davison “D’ on store shelves,
employees from the company’s Licensing Team and Business Development Team often
attend large trade shows around the country.
“The goal each time we
attend shows is to continue to advance exposure for our clients and their
ideas,” said the President of Business Development. Davison does this by using the trade shows as
a way to meet with existing companies that they have presented products to,
meet with new prospective companies they want to present products to, network
with REP groups and take part in buyer meetings and discussions. In addition to meeting with lots of
companies, Davison also uses its time at trade shows to plan follow-up meetings
at Inventionland and other facilities.
Most recently Davison’s President and
Vice President of Business Development attended the 67th National
Hardware Show in Las Vegas. According to
them, there were two key exhibits at the show, Drillcraft and On the Edge
Marketing, that displayed Davison designs.
Those two were certainly not the only ones interested in Davison
though. The company’s President and VP
also met and mingled with the following retailers at the show: The Fulham Group, Ontel
Products, Zibra, Dynamic Paint Products, Century Drill Tools, Drillcraft Tools,
Trillium Worldwide, JGR Copa, Camp Chef, Nothern International, Mac Sports, On
the Edge Marketing, Char Broil, Wild Sports, Len Fest Media and Metro Designs.
“[Our VP] actually followed up with a company tour of On
the Edge Marketing’s facility while on a trip to a buyer meeting with Petco,”
said our President.
The end result of all of these meetings?
“Davison is committed to
improving the method from idea to store shelf, so that Davison clients have the
best opportunity for exposure when it comes to getting noticed. Davison is
slowly, but surely, strengthening the road from idea to store shelf, refining
the stages that are critical in getting noticed,” he said. “These meetings have
allowed us to continue to shore-up the hardware and lawn and garden categories,
which will benefit our clients tremendously.”
While Davison regularly attends trade shows in a number of industries,
it does not promise that any particular client product will be, or is likely to
be, presented or discussed at a trade show.
