July 12, 2010

TRIB Group is the nation’s oldest and most respected buying group. Dedicated solely to the RTO industry since 1983, TRIB Group is a member owned and member run organization.

The staff at TRIB Group invites all APRO Convention attendees to visit their booth, #313, during the show.

 

We gladly welcome all current members and those RTO dealers looking to improve their bottom line with TRIB Group’s array of buying services. In addition to the national programs, 100% rebate return, and members-only events, TRIB Group also offers all new members a satisfaction guarantee and deferment of all joining fees for one year. 

Come visit BOOTH #313 and see the special TRIB Group has to offer the non-TRIB Group members.

Also, TRIB Group invites all members to wear their favorite TRIB Group shirt on the first day of exhibits, Wednesday, July 21st.  And to foster a little healthy competition, the member wearing The oldest TRIB Group Polo Shirt and the member wearing the most TRIB Group shirts throughout the entire convention will win a $100 gift card.

To participate, just wear your oldest shirt or the most number of shirts throughout the convention and stop by the TRIB Group booth or see Dennis Shields. Dennis will be keeping score throughout the convention and will award a winner on Thursday!
