Make the A.R.E. Connection

No need to sacrifice advertising and marketing just because your budget may have been sliced. A.R.E. delivers all the value at a fraction of the cost. We help members save money while putting them in contact with potential customers and business partners — retailers, designers and architects, store fixture and visual suppliers, and other equipment and materials suppliers. Connect with the people and the educational resources that can make your business more profitable as we shape the retail environments of the future together.

MEMBERS EXHIBITING AT GLOBALSHOP HAVE MUCH TO GAIN

lf you are planning on exhibiting at GlobalShop and you join A.R.E. by Jan. 13, 2010, you will save anywhere from $400 to $1,600 on 200 sq. ft. of booth space, and even more on larger spaces. For many companies, the savings exceeds the cost of becoming a member. For details, contact Marcia King-Gamble today, 954-241-4827. The deadline is fast approaching.

If you are already a member of A.R.E., you know how much money you have saved on your booth. In addition, your membership provides you with additional exposure before, during, and after the show. Beforehand, you will be featured on A.R.E.'s GlobalShop web pages, which feature all exhibiting members and links to your member profile. During the show, all member companies receive booth identification signs (definite credibility enhancers), and all member companies are identified by A.R.E. logos in the show directory during and after the event.
