Stopping The
Order Error
Madness
At The PPAI Expo
2017, the Association’s
Distributors Committee
presented a panel
discussion focused
on delivering dozens
of best practices to
ensure clean, accurate
and—best of all—
stress-free orders.
I read every single
line of our P.O. and
communicate on both
sides. Most suppliers
are pretty awesome
in catching any errors
on our side, but the
gap in communication
for me seems to come
frommissed phone
calls. It would be really
nice to be able to
communicate with the
supplier more by text if
the order has a firm in-
hands date and needs
immediate answers.

The Best Expo Yet
The PPAI Expo 2017, the promotional products industry’s largest and longest-running trade
show, drew its highest attendance in nine years. Since the show wrapped on January 12, PPAI
has received outstanding reports from those involved. A selection is included here.
Thanks for a very good Expo. Suntex has
exhibited since the early Dallas days, and
in my opinion it was the best ever. I never
base my view of a show on scans, but
on the depth of conversations about our
products, and of course seeing our friends
and customers. The quality of distributors
and the knowledge level about our industry
was far superior this year to any in the past.
Thanks to PPAI for launching 2017 in a very
positive direction.

It was a great show this year! The best in
years! I came away with so many new ideas,
and I was really struck by the innovation. I am
excited to share what I found with my clients.
