PPAM Kicks Off Second Selling Season with Holiday Showcase
Distributors also voted on the best supplier booths. First place in both cities, and $100, was awarded to Fenton, Missouri-based Quick Point Inc. Second place in both cities, and $50, was awarded to Roxana, Illinois-based Gemini Industries Inc.
“The PPAM Holiday Showcase on September 17 was probably the best run and most enjoyable show I have ever attended on a local level,” said Don Lafferre, CAS, owner of Florissant, Missouri-based Priority Promotions. “Considering as how SLASA [PPAM predecessor] started with a small local show, to have had a large show like this one at a convention center is hard to imagine. [SLASA Past President] Sam Goldman would be utterly amazed, as it was his vision that we have a trade show with so many local suppliers. Now we have suppliers from throughout the U.S., which reflects the growth of our industry—and association.”
