Building Relationships

Do your professional and personal relationships last as long as your products do?

Professional and personal relationships are the foundation of the monument industry. While this is at the forefront with consumers, it is just as important for memorialists searching for the right manufacturer or supplier. How can manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers differentiate themselves beyond boasting the best product, price or service? By making a solid, long-term relationship!

MBNA’s Monument Industry Show is the place to nurture existing and develop new relationships by bringing you face-to-face with hundreds of memorialists from across the United States and Canada. TIME and RESOURCES are precious commodities, so it is important to take advantage of the most effective and efficient way to make connections. By exhibiting at this event, you will meet with KEY DECISION MAKERS with PURCHASING POWER, develop new customer relationships and boost existing ones.

Great Reasons to Exhibit

• Pre-Show Registration
  Promote your show presence by marketing to those individuals who register in advance.  Mailing lists of pre-registered attendees will be provided to all exhibitors.

• Sponsorship Opportunities
  Increase your opportunities to talk with and attract attendees to your booth, by sponsoring the activities hosted outside and inside the exhibit hall

• Networking Events on the Show Floor
  Just like priming an engine, the annual Opening Happy Hour on the Show floor is the perfect way to start things in the exhibit hall. We are always developing new and innovative ways to stimulate foot traffic on the Show floor throughout the weekend.

• Meet more buyers and key decision makers
  MEET and TALK with more buyers and key decision makers in three days than you normally would in a month. This is the way to maximize your reach in the most effective and efficient manner!
