TIC 2018 Manufactuer E-MAG

share experiences. On the consumer days, we really enjoyed
interacting with customers and introducing them to our products.
We received amazing feedback and patronage which were very
encouraging. Overall, it was very heartening to see the diversity
and calibre of products/services that are being offered by our
local manufacturers.
5. BE TRANSFORMATIVE, NOT TRANSACTIONAL
- from the inception of FTR, we wanted our company to be a
brand with a purpose beyond just making a profit. Our larger
vision is to educate our clients and by extension our population
on how to live greener lifestyles by reducing their carbon
footprint. At FTR Ltd. we incorporate a ‘green’ approach into
every aspect of our operations. We re-purpose vinyl albums
as a viable alternative to unsafe disposal practices such as
incineration and dumping in landfills. Our clocks come packaged
in boxes made from recycled paper and re-usable, eco-friendly
tote bags. Our larger mission is therefore one of environmental
conservation and responsible waste management. In keeping
with this mission, we used our TIC platform as an opportunity to
raise our voice and create change in people’s lives. This is part of
our corporate social responsibility.
6. THE POWER OF GIVEAWAYS – Let’s face it: people
love ‘free ting’. Because of the nature of our product we were not
able to give samples however we decided to have our first ever
giveaway. Over the course of the Convention days we invited
our booth visitors to follow us on social media for a chance to
win a record clock of their choice. The draw was done on the
last day of the trade fair (Sunday). This activity introduced a new,
fun dimension into our customer relations which we thoroughly
enjoyed and will definitely employ again in the future.
7. THE IMPORTANCE OF STELLAR BUSINESS
SUPPORT - From the onset, the TTMA’s staff was very
responsive to our questions and their attentiveness throughout
the event made it evident that they genuinely had our best
interest at heart. We especially loved the Proudly T&T Campaign
and Business Education Programme. TTMA’s professionalism,
foresight and overall event management made TIC 2018 a world
class trade show! Can’t wait for TIC 2019!!
