Seeking Thoughts on Field Rep Conference

Since NARMS inception, the companies who compose the at-retail merchandising and marketing industry have converged annually for the NARMS Spring Conference. But there has never been an event specifically for the field service reps. The Mystery Shopping Industry has for years held an event designed directly for their shoppers. There is a new stream of thought that a similar event designed and directed toward merchandisers, demonstrators, event marketers and installers would be mutually beneficial to our field personnel and service companies alike.

Right now, there is a survey being circulated to better understand NARMS member interest in a potential event. We ask that you and your company give us your thoughts and input on the idea. Please complete this survey as promptly as possible so that we can proceed with planning and promoting an event.

The event would likely be held in the Tampa area in conjunction with the NARMS 2010 Conference. The major goals of the conference would include the development of more professional and responsive reps, as well as expanding the labor base while exposing participants to NARMSCertifyU and NARMS Individual Membership.

The questions on the survey ask if your company would participate, would help to develop content, would be a sponsor and would attend the event. Other questions focus on the format of the event.

The leadership of NARMS believes the time has come to reach out as an industry to the arms, legs, eyes and ears in the marketplace. An event of this nature and scope is only possible with your input and participation. Please take a few minutes of your valuable time to give us your thoughts.
