Cash and Carry Buying is now available
at the Lansing Gift Show.

What
Some of our vendors offer merchandise available in their booths for immediate sale to take with you from the show. These vendors also conduct order writing business from their booths as well. Cash & Carry sales “C & C” is a somewhat newer trend in the wholesale gift show market. It addresses a need in these dynamic times for our industry that traditional order-placing buying cannot always satisfy.

Why
You asked for it. Buyer feedback has favored of a shift toward C & C. Benefits include; wholesale pricing on merchandise without minimum quantity restrictions, an answer to limited “back room” storage at your business, not having to wait several weeks for delivery, no shipping charges. You can literally buy one or two of a particular item and carry it away with you for immediate stock or restock of your shelves. Gratification is instant!

How
Vendors offering C & C will have a special sign in their booths designating them so you do not have to ask. These vendors will be equipped to handle cash and check purchases (some credit card). You take possession of the item/s immediately and you are then asked to remove the item/s from the show floor before continuing to shop. Merchandise may be moved to your vehicle or held by show management to pick up later. Arrangements can be made to get your vehicle to our loading dock to facilitate moving larger quantities.

Who and types of merchandise:
The vendors participating in C & C are:

**Other orderwriting vendors may also have samples for sale at this show on a limited basis.

Come prepared
If you think you may be taking ample advantage of our C & C opportunities, come prepared to do so. In anticipation of your purchases have adequate space in your vehicle for the trip home. Bringing a small folding hand cart may be helpful when loading up. This will keep you from having to wait for others to become available. If you will be holding merchandise at our registration area, having extra business cards to tape to your items will facilitate this system significantly.

The Future
We hope to expand our cash and carry offerings at future Lansing shows. As more vendors recognize your support of the C & C booths more selection can be offered at future shows.

Reminder

This special opportunity is available ONLY to our retail customers with a sales tax ID registered with the show. All purchases must be made only by the primary wholesale buyer. Buyers are allowed one (1) guest to accompany them on the show floor.
