21st Instore Days, the biggest yet By Anita Body
With over 90 ATS and Ruralco suppliers, this year’s ATS Instore Days is expected to be the biggest ever. From small beginnings come great things, and Instore Days is no exception. Twenty one years ago the first event was held in-store, with only a small portion housed outside in a gazebo in the carpark. Nowadays, the entire carpark is transformed with large marquees erected for the two day event. While Instore Days has obviously grown, the intent remains the same. It is designed to provide members with exclusive discounts and savings on a wide variety of goods and services. These specials are negotiated specifically for the two day event and provide an ideal opportunity to set members and Ruralco Cardholders up for the coming season. “Our job at ATS is to bring you goods and services which offer value and lower your operational costs. That is the philosophy
While much of Instore Days is devoted to the business of farming, there will also be the opportunity to take a break with ATS’s lunch-time fare and there’s even some entertainment available for the little ones. “If you haven’t experienced ATS Instore Days, then mark July 9 and 10 on your calendar and come and see what everyone’s talking about. For those of you who have become regulars – we are looking forward to seeing you again to celebrate our 21st birthday.” As in past years, if you can’t make it to the Ashburton store, the deals and specials will also be available at the Methven and Rakaia stores, or by calling the Customer Service team on 0800 BUY ATS (289 287). ATS Instore Days specials will also appear on the ATS website over the event days, www.ats.co.nz.

of a co-operative and our Instore Days is a good example of this in practise,” said Group CEO, Neal Shaw. ATS is the only farm supplies company offering an in-store event on this scale in Mid Canterbury. Part of its success can be attributed to the large numbers who turn out every year to support this occasion and to bag exclusive bargains from a wide range of products including agricultural chemicals and dairy requirements and gifts and homeware. “It has become an important date on the calendar and has been described by many as a ‘mini field days’. Instore Days is also a great opportunity for the country to come to town, with members able to meet up with other members, family, friends, ATS staff, and ATS and Ruralco suppliers,” said Neal. Goods and services will be showcased under the big marquees in the car park, and this year stalls will be grouped by themes thanks to a revamped layout designed to ensure a great day for all. Site holders will be on hand to share their knowledge and expertise with members and to discuss farmers’ individual requirements.
