What is the ROI on your trade show spending?
Traditional trade shows are expensive. The average distributor spends $10,000 to set up a booth at a tradeshow. But why? To meet new buyers and suppliers, showcase your products, and generate sales.
BrandTrader offers all of that and more for a fraction of the price.
With BrandTrader, you can:
- Showcase your wholesale list of products to a large group of buyers.
- Meet new buyers and suppliers on a daily basis.
- Build relationships and gain valuable insights.
- Generate sales that pay for your expenses.
So why spend $10,000 on a traditional trade show when you can get all of the same benefits for a fraction of the price with BrandTrader?
