Welcome to a new way of doing things, all of which will benefit the very heart of the sports and awards industries at the customer dealer grass roots level. The National Dealers Association (NDA) intends to bring dealers, manufacturers, sales reps and other industry professionals a virtual trade show, making an easy way for you as members buy and sell wholesale online. This much needed service of the Virtual Shows will not be the replacement of the "Brick and Mortar" industry trade shows. The Virtual Shows will become a supplement to the land based trade shows and will become the added touches traditional trade shows not been able to fulfill At NDA's - Virtual Shows - new products and services will get to market with lightening speed. Dealers and reps (and in some instances manufacturers) will be able to collaborate and aggregate to their mutual interest. Show "attendance" will reach all time highs in both actual numbers of stores, and percent of aggregate participation. This means more instant coverage for vendor products and more cost effective sales.
WE believe, Established buying groups will become stronger, both from their members participation and from the association with hundreds of other dealers that help their buying efforts. All buying groups serve the purpose of helping to keep aggregate dealer pricing on products and services in check. All buying groups also are helping keep the "Sell Direct Mania" by some manufacturers in check. Buying groups can now also help to keep in check the unfair trade practices and alliances with industry manufacturers by THE DISCOUNT RETAIL giants. In the future, buying groups may even be more valuable in this respect. Sales reps will have a quick way to show off new products, and a firm way to help out some of their "cash" lines that they currently have, or may now decide to pick up due to this new marketing channel. Manufacturers will be able to fine tune products before offering them at traditional industry trade shows.
