Every trade show marketing plan consists of three elements:
- Pre-show
- Onsite/During the show
- Post-show/Follow up
It's time for you to nail the ISSA/INTERCLEAN post-show follow up element. The September issue of Sanitary Maintenance will be on the desks of the thousands of jan/san distributors that walked the ISSA/INTERCLEAN show floor when they return to their offices. Don't let all of those conversations and leads from the show go to waste by not being top of mind. Keep an ongoing presence in SM and those ISSA leads just might become your next customers.
Here's the first look at our September issue.

Infection Control
Ultra-violet technology is gaining traction as an alternative to chemicals for infection control procedures. Distributors need to know about this technology whether they sell UV products or not, because it is competing for their business. If distributors do sell these products, sales reps need to thoroughly understand the technology, because as a high-cost item it is not an easy sell.
