Here Are Just a Few Reasons Why You Should Register to Attend The INSTORE Show Today

WE’RE LESS THAN six months away from our inaugural edition of The INSTORE Show, and here’s why you should put the magazine down and register right this minute.

First, August is perfect timing to stock up ahead of the holidays (plus, with temps in the low 80s, there’s no better time to visit the Chicago area).

And for our exhibitor list, we’ve prioritized the companies you see regularly on our “Hot Sellers” list and elsewhere in the magazine.

Second, the educational offerings are absolutely dynamic. You’ll think you’ve stepped straight into the pages of our magazine, learning best practices from your fellow retailers and gaining new insights from the best minds in the business. In addition to Cram Day, our pre-show conference, we’ll offer the Brain Trust Workshop: a full day of intensive consultation presented by INSTORE contributors Megan Crabtree, Jimmy DeGroot, Kate Peterson and Sherry Smith, in which you’ll work alongside retailers with similar business models. (This workshop is limited to 64 participants, so if you’re interested, you will need to register ASAP.)

Lastly, we want to connect you with other INSTORE readers, and we’ll do it with a Saturday happy hour gathering, the Play It Cool Party on Sunday evening, and an updated version of the Bench Pressure Challenge.

If you’re located in the Midwest, there’s no reason to attend any other trade show, and if you’re not, there are a million reasons to put this one at the top of your “must attend” list. Hope to see you there!

Now Introducing The INSTORE Show, Coming to the Chicago Area in 2023!

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
