It’s hard to believe the month of January is almost over and this year’s PPAI Expo Conference is officially in the books! Our team had the awesome opportunity to travel to Las Vegas all the way from the east coast to attend this year’s tradeshow …and we couldn’t be happier that we did! Suzette, Bulletin Brands’ founder, has been attending this conference for nearly 20 years! It’s safe to say that although our business is a frequent flyer at the PPAI Expo, each year we leave with a renewed sense of excitement about the promotional products industry and our year ahead.
We left this conference with valuable insight, ideas, and motivation to make 2024 our best year yet! There are so many projects that we can’t wait to implement that will improve our customer experience even more! Not only did we walk away with this exciting knowledge and experience, but we were so happy to connect with vendors, distributors, and colleagues in person! As a remote company, we love working from home …but it’s nice to see our team’s smiling faces in person! Collaboration is one of the main reasons we love this trip! 
This year, the PPAI show exceed over 10,000 distributors in attendance! We’re not kidding when we say we networked and got our steps in walking around the tradeshow floor! It covered roughly 1 million square feet in scope and featured more than 2,500 booths and nearly 1,000 exhibitors, offering the latest products in every category! The floor was packed with excited distributors checking out the different booths and trending products. If you know anything about our company, you know that we take our hand selection process seriously …and in Vegas we truly put this to the test! We walk around and test our products, physically hold them in our hands, and assess their quality. We order samples, talk to vendors about their manufacturing processes, and carefully choose new products to add to our sites. Many don’t make the cut!
Now that we’re back on the east coast resting our feet, we can reflect on all the products we saw, conversations we had, and ideas that popped into our heads while attending this awesome event. We’re grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the industry’s largest tradeshow, and prioritize our client’s success by finding them the perfect items for their projects. Here’s a great 2024!
