TIMBER MART welcomed more than 1,400 dealers and vendors to its second Virtual Buying Show between Feb. 14 and 17. The show platform featured a virtual Store on the Floor where vendors presented a wide range of SKUs and store-planning ideas. A TIMBER MART area showcased all of the group’s offerings, including marketing programs and support, LBM distribution centres, TIMBER MART Essentials programs, lumber trading, and procurement.
The show also featured a virtual photo booth as well as an awards gallery where attendees could leave congratulatory messages for winners of the group’s annual vendor and dealer awards.
“Based on the positive feedback we’ve received from the last two shows and the convenient accessibility that it lends to our members, we’ll be looking at incorporating a virtual element into our in-person show next year,” CEO and president Bernie Owens said in a release. That event is slated for Feb. 16 and 17, 2023, at the Toronto Congress Centre.
