ICRS Assist Partners | 2008 Selected Retailers

Practical Assistance to Retailers Who Want to Attend ICRS

ICRS is a very important event for everyone who is involved in the publishing and retailing industry, especially in times of economic stress.

During these increasingly difficult times we need each other more than ever. Our goal, therefore, is to see that the show's attendance continues to grow.

It seems impractical and unwise for exhibitors to spend thousands of dollars on displays, while not offering practical assistance to retailers who may find it difficult to attend the shows due to financial concerns.

Dropping out of the shows is not the answer to this problem, for this will cause small-to-middle-sized retailers and vendors to lose out. And every retailer, whether large or small, is a frontline partner in spreading the message of the Gospel around the world.

Therefore, we have set up an ICRS Travel Assistance Program for retail stores. We call it ICRS Assist. This program will divide donations among selected retailers to assist them in attending the ICRS.

July 2008 ICRS

In an effort to encourage attendance at ICRS this year, Bridge-Logos Publishers will be giving five retailers $500.00 each to help them with expenses, and we're asking other vendors to do the same. We're doing this because we believe ICRS is an important event for everyone who is involved in the CBA industry.

In making our selection of the five retailers, we will seek the assistance of our reps in the field. Then we will create a short list of potential recipients over which we will pray, asking for God's direction.

As soon as we choose five, we will contact them. If any of the first five who are chosen will not be attending the ICRS, we will approach others who are on the list.

The ICRS show will be held in Orlando, Florida, from July 14 through July 17. Bridge-Logos will be at Booth 601.
