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.
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.
