PPB July 2021

by Victoria Peers PPPC COMMUNIQUÉ PPPC’s Virtual Holiday Showcase Coming October 7 T he Promotional Product Professionals of Canada (PPPC) will be hosting the Virtual Holiday Showcase on Thursday, October 7, 2021. This virtual trade show is the prime opportunity for Canadian suppliers and distributors to connect and start your Q4 with a bang. The Holiday Showcase will welcome the biggest collection of Canadian suppliers to a PPPC virtual show to date, and we expect record-number attendance from distributors. Suppliers: If you’re not already on our exhibitor list for the Showcase, you’ll want to be. The Holiday Showcase is your chance to feel reinvigorated and reenergized by your industry after such challenging times throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s not over, but there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. Get the best bang for your buck by securing a spot at the Showcase before the early-bird deadline of July 30. We have an array of booth sizes and sponsorship opportunities to fit your exact budget and needs. From product knowledge sessions to e-blast options, PPPC can help you create the perfect package for your company. Or, perhaps a prebuilt package is more your style? If so, we have created The Total Package just for you. For the first time ever, we are offering this exclusive booth package to Canadian suppliers. The Total Package includes one large booth, one product pavilion spot and a slot in our new video commercial reel. With The Total Package, your company will be everywhere, and you will be noticed. Suppliers can purchase their Total Package and other supplier opportunities at showcase.pppc.ca . Distributors: We know you’ve already marked your calendar to spend October 7 at the PPPC Virtual Holiday Showcase. Your time to officially register for the show is almost here. Look for emails and social media posts encouraging you to register coming your way in mid- August. Until then, check out our exhibitor list at showcase.pppc.ca and start to plan out who you want to visit during the Showcase. The Holiday Showcase will also feature another segment of the PPPC Awards. Like the awards we presented at TOPS+ 2021 Virtual, where we recognized the member-voted top suppliers, distributors and MLRs of 2020, we will be honouring more of those who truly deserve recognition in the promotional products industry. We will be presenting the PPPC Product Awards to shine the spotlight on some incredible marketing campaigns and products from both 2019 and 2020. And we will be presenting the Hall of Fame, Humanitarian and Momentum Awards to individuals who exude distinction, excellence and promise in the industry. Both applications for the Product Awards and nominations for the Hall of Fame, Humanitarian and Momentum Awards are now closed. We can confidently say that our members are the most dedicated, most talented and most deserving folks around, so don’t miss the PPPC Awards at the Holiday Showcase. For more information about the Awards Ceremony, please visit showcase.pppc.ca . The PPPC Virtual Holiday Showcase will be one for the books. From holding our biggest virtual show to date, to providing suppliers with exceptional value, to honouring some incredible members at the PPPC Awards, we know that you will be entertained and will leave feeling accomplished. See you on Thursday, October 7. Victoria Peers is communications specialist for Promotional Product Professionals of Canada. 88 | JULY 2021 | CONNECT
