SHOW NEWS: Survey Supports Regional Shows

John Wolz

A majority of fastener distribution trade show exhibitors participating in a survey by AWP Research supported regional fastener shows.
Given several options, 28.8% supported one annual national show plus regional shows, and another 26.9% opted for dropping to one national show every other year plus regional shows in between.
The two configurations total 55.7% favoring some form of regional shows.
The survey showed 88.5% of exhibitors preferred one of the configurations with only one national trade show. Only 3.8% favored �more than one national� trade show.
