The largest industry event in the Southwest attracted 3,645 distributors and 510 suppliers (including 56 exhibiting for the first time in Dallas).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the second time we\u2019ve held a meeting at ASI Dallas, and we always have a great turnout,\u201d said Larry Zavadil, CEO of American Solutions for Business. \u201cWe have 280 of our top sales producers at the show. We all gathered yesterday morning at the show opening and walked in together. It was fantastic. ASI Education has been great, and we found tons of ideas on the show floor. Every vendor we\u2019ve come across has a unique solution to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-year industry veteran Barry Lipsett, CEO of Charles River Apparel (asi\/44620), called the show &#8220;incredible&#8221; and said, &#8220;We did so well we are going to double the size of our booth next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraffic has been great at ASI Dallas and the energy has been fantastic,\u201d said Gabe McGraw from industry supplier Gold Bond (<em>asi\/57653<\/em>).\u201cEveryone is coming ready to discuss projects. Distributors are coming in with a list, which makes it easy because that translates into orders and everybody benefits. We\u2019ve been so happy with ASI Dallas \u2013 in fact, with all of <em>The ASI Shows<\/em> \u2013 because they\u2019re really big producers for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox News featured ASI Dallas on its Wednesday broadcast, showcasing many of the innovative ad specialty items seen at the show. Also this week in Dallas, ASI<sup class=\"register\">\u00ae<\/sup> offered on-site demos of over 40 new features now available in ESP Mobile\u00a0for iPhone, iPad and Android.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday night, the industry came together at a boisterous Gala Celebration, featuring dinner, a live band and a mechanical bull at the world-class entertainment venue Gilley\u2019s, home of the \u201cUrban Cowboy\u201d legacy. Other notable networking events included a standing-room-only keynote by three-time Super Bowl champion and \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d winner Emmitt Smith, who advised a packed house on successful small business strategies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmmitt Smith offered some great advice on setting goals and continuing to work toward them throughout your life,\u201d said Dominic Caldara, of Proforma Divine Corporate Supply (<em>asi\/491329<\/em>). \u201cOtherwise, you\u2019re just going to stand still and never evolve. It\u2019s an important lesson that all businesspeople should listen to if they want to be successful.\u201d The keynote was co-sponsored by Pepco Poms (<em>asi\/77280<\/em>) and Showdown Displays (<em>asi\/87188<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Timothy M. Andrews, president of <em>The ASI Show<\/em> and president and chief executive officer of ASI, described the show floor as \u201chigh energy\u201d and said a lot of people he spoke to are excited by the coming sales year and a more positive economic outlook, especially in Texas, where the state\u2019s unemployment rate recently declined for the fourth straight month. Much of the private sector growth is attributable to the energy industry, which is spurring job growth in many other industries, including the promotional products industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>ASI Show<\/em> loves Dallas, where everyone is so appreciative of ASI\u2019s long-standing tradition of providing every possible resource and opportunity to suppliers and distributors committed to taking their business to the next level,\u201d said Andrews. \u201cAll week, we\u2019ve all been feeding off the positive energy on the show floor, quality education, outstanding business advice and superior networking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On August 12, ASI returns to Dallas for the inaugural Promotions Southwest expo at the state-of-the-art Irving Convention Center.<\/p>\n<article><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football champ Emmitt Smith shares winning business strategies during memorable keynote TREVOSE, PA \u2013 February 8, 2013 \u2013 The ASI&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1482,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ASI Dallas Scores Big with Packed Show &#8226;
