FROM THE FIELDS TO THE SALES FLOOR: GEARING UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS
I love this time of year! The crisp air, the golden hues of the leaves, and the bustle of harvest season. In our hometown, the fields are alive with activity, and the community is filled with excitement as farmers bring in the fruits of their labor
Much like our dedicated RJO retail members, the farmers have spent the year preparing – nurturing their crops, sharpening their skills, and getting ready for this final stretch There's no time to pause, as the holiday season is just around the corner Whether you ' re hosting special events, providing top-tier client service, or coaching your sales team to deliver their best, we know you ’ re building momentum for a bountiful harvest of sales this holiday season!
RJO-HQ has been busy too. We are moving forward with our new date pattern for RJO Buying Shows. Vendor Registration opens up later this month and we recently opened up the RJO Room Block for the Phoenix host hotel. Even though Retailer Registration doesn’t open until December 5th, we strongly recommend booking your rooms soon. Phoenix is bringing the heat and will be a show you won’t want to miss!
As we prepare for the fourth quarter and get our stores, teams, and ourselves ready for the holiday rush, RJO is here for you. Make sure to stay updated with the latest RJO news and announcements throughout the month. You can find all the important information in your email and on our RJO Exclusive Facebook page.
BOOK YOUR ROOMS NOW FOR PHOENIX! FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21 - MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24
It's here! RJO gives retail members the FIRST CHANCE at booking in the host hotel for the 2025 Winter Buying Show in Phoenix, AZ. But book quickly, because we are releasing the link to vendors in Mid-November
Rooms WILL go fast, so book your rooms NOW! This link is currently ONLY available to RJO retailers, so be sure to secure your rooms for you and your team in the host hotel TODAY! Retailer registration opens on December 5th, but many times, we are already booking into an overflow property by that point. Don't wait!
A helpful tip: be sure to set a calendar reminder to register your store for the show when registration opens on December 5th.
