Leveraging Relationships with Domestic Factories
Presented by Mitch Cahn
President, Unionwear 
 
About the Session:  Attendees who have a relationship with a domestic supplier must also have at least one client who buys USA made products.  They can leverage that relationship by selling that supplier's products to other clients, and selling other USA made products to that client.  
 
Our education seminar, "Leveraging Relationships with Domestic Factories" explains the forces in the economy that  have disrupted the era of cheap imports, what kinds of end users are buying USA made products now that the cost differential has shrunk,  and what kinds of products cost almost the same to produce domestically as overseas.  This is a perfect time for a promotional products professionals to distinguish themselves as domestic sourcing experts.
