Being a vendor we are basically the promoters customers. Treat your customers well and you keep them for many years. Any good businessperson knows that simple fact. Show me your only concern is how much money you can make and my loyalty as a customer is lost.

Where am I going with all of this you might ask? We did a show with a new promotional company called MalicJewels at the Reno/Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority. The Monday before the show I was getting a little nervous about the promotion of the show, so I called MalicJewels office and asked about the advertising for the up coming show. The person I talked with was one of the owners and she happily gave me the complete list of each place they were placing advertising for the show. Being the skeptic I am, I called all of the radio stations and the local newspaper to see if what I had been told was true. Not only did I find it to be true, but, each place I called commented on how easy MalicJewels were to work with and they paid promptly. Ok, good indicator!

When we arrived at the show for setup, we were warmly greeted and quickly taken to our designated booth. To our surprise we were given a larger booth than we had sign up for at no extra costs. The one quoted fee included the booth, tables, coverings and skirts, light stands and electricity. In other words, there were no surprises.

One of the owners, Debbie, was on the floor at all times, and anything we needed she was there to help. MalicJewels bent over backwards to treat us well and make us feel welcome and important. The experience with Debbie and all of her staff was such a positive one that we will be doing other shows with them in the future.

MalicJewels does about 80 shows a year around the country. You might want to check them out at MalicJewels.com and see if they have a show near you that you might consider displaying your wares. You will enjoy your experience with them.
