Great New Giveaways Added to Retailer Summit² Coupon Book

Every store owner and manager attending the Retailer Summit²: Focus on Retailing will receive a Coupon Book filled with vouchers for giveaways, tickets for prize drawings, invitations to special sales and coupons for discounts at dozens of publishers and manufacturers exhibiting at Reed Exhibitions’ Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo.

After the Summit² Continental Getaway Breakfast ends on Friday morning, you’ll be whisked by bus to the C²E² Exhibit Hall at McCormick Place, where you can begin shopping – and saving – with your personalized Coupon Book. Friday’s “Professional Hours” run from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and you can redeem your coupons the entire time.

And, if you’re planning to stick around after the Summit² for C²E² (and why wouldn’t you – Summit² attendees get into C²E² free), you can shop all weekend long with the coupons, extending your savings opportunity to the max. Just remember, each coupon can only be redeemed once.
