Dear Exporter:

On behalf of the CFEA, I would like to invite your company to exhibit at the Private Label Manufacturer’s Association Trade Show in Rosemont, Illinois, November 14-16, 2010.

All across North America, store brands power is driving big increases in store brands sales. New categories. New merchandising ideas. New package designs. New shelf allocation. Store brands are reaching unheard of levels of consumer popularity and retailer commitment. For manufacturers, store brands power is the power to compete with big national brands in category after category without big advertising budgets and promotion allowances. It’s the power to make a small and medium-size company important to retailers. It’s the power to market your products to millions of consumers. It means new opportunities for your business.

Store brands power is growing, too. According to GfK Roper, 57% of all shoppers now say that they purchase store brands frequently, up from 36% ten years ago. Moreover, 9 out of 10 consumers say that store brands are now as good as or better than national brands and one-third of all shoppers expect to buy more store brands in the year ahead.

 The PLMA Show gives you the chance to show your power. For nearly 30 years, this show has been the place where retailers and suppliers meet to build their private label business. With more than 2,000 booths, the show spans five halls of Chicago’s Rosemont Convention Center. Exhibitors come from more than 35 countries. Product categories include fresh, frozen and refrigerated foods, beverages, snacks, and shelf-stable groceries.

Don’t miss the chance to see buyers from supermarkets, supercenters, discounters, drugstores, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, importers, exporters, wholesalers of all kinds, even military exchanges. They come to source, to learn and to make contacts.

The cost to exhibit is: 10 x 10 booth -- CDN $2,900.00, 10 x 20 booth – CDN $3,925.00, which includes per 10’x10’ booth -- pipe & drape space, carpet, 1 6’ table, 2 chairs, 1 wastebasket, 1 identification, sign and full show coordination.  Exhibitors are entitled to 2 free badges per booth regardless of size. Exhibitors must also be a member of the Private Label Manufacturer’s Association; membership is U.S. $1,000.00.
