Your products may withstand the tests of time but what about your professional and personal relationships?

Nothing replaces the strength of a memorialist’s trust in the knowledge that a vendor partner will deliver on their promises. That is why professional and personal relationships are the cornerstone of the monument industry. And at a time when it is increasingly more difficult for manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers to differentiate by price alone, the value of a solid, long-term relationship is immeasurable.

In 2010, the MBNA-MAMBA JAM helps you enhance and develop those relationships by bringing you face-to-face with hundreds of memorialists from throughout the United States and Canada, making it the most effective and efficient use of your time and resources. It is an excellent opportunity for you to meet with key decision makers with purchasing power, develop new customer relationships and boost existing ones.

FIVE GREAT REASONS TO DISPLAY

  1. Networking Events on the Display Floor
    MBNA and MAMBA kick off this year’s vendor display with an Opening Reception on the display floor.
  2. New Products and Services Forum
    All vendors in attendance will have five-minutes in front of the entire audience to describe and promote new products, services and initiatives.
  3. Guaranteed Audience
    Your company’s name and products will be on display in front of hundreds of attendees!
  4. Educational Sessions
    Learn from industry experts on topics that benefit your business.
  5. Targeted Audience
    While some trade shows bring in huge crowds, the JAM promises just the right number and the targeted audience. This combination will give you the ability to deliver the time and attention your current and potential clients deserve.
