Spring Plans for PromoEQP
March 2026 Discount Code: PROMOEQP-LM540
The success of PromoEQP’s EXPO Happy Hour is now ready to spread!
Get ready for PromoEQP to be coming out into the market to see you!
In partnership with Regional Associations, PromoEQP is creating Networking and Engagement Event that support and expand Regional Association Events!
This will mean hitting the road, and bringing the energy and intention of the PromoEQP EXPO Happy Hour to an event (potentially) near you!
Dates are being formalized and scheduled now — but we are still open and available to acting on PromoEQP Distributor recommendations and Regional Association requests.
Planned 2nd Quarter PromoEQP Events:
Details regarding the events will be coming shortly.
What is the purpose of these events?
Simply put, it is PromoEQP’s view that the best associative resource for a distributor is a strong and positive connection to their Regional Association communities. These groups are doing incredible work — often with limited resources and volunteer support. Given the size of the PromoEQP Distributor Network, we have the capability (and I would argue, the responsibility) to introduce our Network to what these Regionals are attempting to do to support you.
Aside from that, the EXPO Happy Hour was simply an incredible and energetic event! It sparked vibrant discussions, engaged networking, and positively put the nature of “RELATIONSHIPS” front and center in our Relationship Industry… And, when you create something that incredible, it deserve to happen more than once a year.
How can I, a Distributor, help?
Glad you asked!
The first thing is, of course, attending the event itself. These will be free of cost, and fully encompassing of bits and beverages.
A full approach to communication will be employed for keeping Distributors aware of these events. That means Event placement will be available:

Second… PromoEQP goes where our distributors tell us to go. So, if we need to look into YOUR Regional Association, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Like I said… the goal is to highlight a Regional doing good work… and connect with You. So don’t be shy… Let me know where I need to go to get that goal accomplished!
And yes… these are the events I was foreshadowing last month.
The goal is build… always with a focus on how we can best support and serve our distributor network. Ideas and suggestions are always welcomed.
Thanks again…

Upcoming Supplier Webinars
And now for something new
Short Story, Big Picture:
One-Off Orders to Programs
Every time the phone rings or the front door opens in your shop, there is a high probability of making that sale. The buyer has called you or walked into your store because they know they want a product, this time. Most of the time, we are happy to simply close that one sale, but what are some ways we can turn those one-off orders into recurring programs?
Today’s SHORT STORY is a piece to help you achieve your long-term goals, aka the BIG PICTURE.
Turning one‑off orders into ongoing programs is the fastest way for distributors to grow predictable, higher‑margin revenue. We all like money and really like it when it keeps coming in on a steady basis.
Here are three tactics you can take to help you accomplish this:
Reposition yourself as the program partner, not just a product vendor
Distributors that escape project‑to‑project chaos deliberately shift how they frame value. Get away from “we deliver things” and focus on “we manage an ongoing outcome for you.” That outcome is usually employee engagement, brand awareness, or event success, not just boxes of merch.
Key Actions:
Reframe the conversation around Outcomes
Introduce the idea of a “Program” early
Use proof points and mini case studies
Design simple, recurring offers that clients can say “YES” to
Recurring business is easier to sell when the offer is productized and low‑friction. This is something other B2B agencies and SaaS‑like services emphasize. Instead of waiting for clients to invent new orders, give them clear program options with predictable timing and budget.
Key Actions:
Turn common needs into “always‑on” kits or drops
Offer program tiers rather than one custom quote
Build in light automation and re‑order triggers
Implement a consistent account‑management rhythm
Recurring revenue in services usually comes from structure: scheduled check‑ins, small planning sessions, and proactive ideas. Larger agencies might call this “account management” rather than “order taking.” Even a lightweight rhythm can move clients from occasional to habitual buyers.
Key Actions:
Schedule regular short business reviews
Show up with a mini roadmap, not just products
Track and act on buying patterns
_____________________________
When distributors adopt these three tactics, shifting the conversation to programs, packaging simple recurring offers, and adding a basic account‑management rhythm, many “one‑off” customers naturally evolve into steady, recurring accounts that anchor long‑term growth.
You got this!
