Rising Star Retailer Awards Launched
50 Retailers to Be Honored in Las Vegas
(Las Vegas, NV - June 12, 2009) The Sports Licensing and Tailgate Show, has unveiled its Rising Star retailer recognition program, which honors 50 stores in 50 states for creating the hottest, coolest, most innovative environments for sports licensing and tailgating products. The Rising Star Awards will be presented during the Sports Licensing and Tailgate Show at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, January 20-22, 2010.
The Sports Licensing and Tailgate Show will be reaching out this summer to manufacturers, distributors, leagues and licensees to create a pool of nominees for the awards, which will recognize individual stores that rise to the challenge of complex and dynamic economic times. A nomination form is currently available on the show's web site at: www.showproco.com/risingstaraward. Up to five stores may be nominated on a single form.
"The stars of our industry right now are the retailers that find imaginative ways to tap into the power and passion of sports," says Show Director Stanley Schwartz. "They keep consumers engaged, help merchandise turn, and encourage the makers and marketers of licensed products and tailgating equipment to keep the pipeline flowing." According to Schwartz, 50 retailers - one in each state - will be flown in all-expenses-paid and feted at the show in January as part of an effort to strengthen ties and create vital networking opportunities within the sports licensing and tailgate industry.
