WELCOME


By now I’m sure you will have heard the news that we will be


producing a Spry Show for retailers across the Maritime provinces. With 10 years of Spry Shows in Ontario under our belts, we are super excited and honoured to be able to offer Atlantic Canada a similar level of service. With great help from the maritime region Rep community and lots of encouragement from area retailers over the past 4 months, we have been planning the location and the timing of the show and seeking commitments form vendors to support their reps to participate. We sincerely appreciate the overwhelmingly positive feedback and support we have received so far.


Welcome to the first ever Spry Maritimes Winter Market! At press time there was almost one hundred brands committed to showing their seasonal collections at this first show. We expect there will be more by the time we get to the show as we are awaiting commitments from a number of Reps and companies that are franticly trying to make sure they will have their samples in time for the show. These are all brands committed to providing the independent channel meaningful, differentiated product to give you, their customers, a distinct, competitive advantage. The show is dedicated to providing the independent channel the most


convenient, thorough presentation of sport and active lifestyle brands in a relaxed and comfortable environment; the perfect environment for you to do your buying without the distractions of the store and without traveling too far away from home. You have a full 3 days with which to peruse, research, compare and book next


Fall and Winter’ seasons – with many brands still offering maximum early booking discounts during the week of the show. The show is an excellent opportunity for you to get a good perspective on the


product trends for next Fall/Winter at the same time as comparing styles, colours and programs from brands that you currently stock and one’s that you might want to consider for next season. In most cases, the brands also have full sample sets at the show allowing you to customize your buys specifically for your customer base. Take your time, come for multiple days! We are committed to serving you and to


ensuring you have a fulfilling and productive week at the show. I look forward to meeting you at the show. If you don’t see me around but would


like to speak to me, you will likely find me in the show office close to the registration area of the show. Just ask for me at registration. I welcome your feedback at any time. If there is something you need whilst at the show, please don’t hesitate to ask.


Regards


Robert Lauder Show Manager
