Gary Boehler, Thrifty White Drug Stores, Inc. said:
“During a recession, it is even more imperative to look for efficiencies, revenue streams, and ways to reduce expenses. By coordinating meetings for us with a great selection of vendors, ECRM helps us do all of those things. We are busy for the entire time we are at an ECRM conference, maximizing our time out of the office. The format allows for us to meet with all the vendors in a timely matter. The Pharmacy Services, Technology and Automation EPPS exposed us to new automation devices and technological efficiencies, both of which we use to increase our revenue and improve our business processes.”
Stefan Merlo, Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation said:
“ECRM makes it possible for us to see all of our customers in one location, giving us face-to-face meetings with many companies in the industry we want to see. The organized, structured arrangement of our meeting schedule provides us with an efficient way to improve our business.”
Gayle McCormick, Max-Wellness LLC said:
"The format was great for us, it would have taken them months to do what they did in a 3 days at the event."
Dwight Nix, Allison Medical, Inc said:
“When we signed up for ECRM’s Home Health Care event, we knew the show would pay for itself with new business. ECRM and its personnel are very efficient in bringing new and established customers together with vendors. We had twenty-minute meetings with key people in the diabetic and pharmaceutical categories that were to the point and helped us expand our business.”
Jan Miller, Standers Inc. said:
"We have been attending ECRM shows for three years now and each year, we meet with significant buyers that make decisions while we are at the show. We have added several new customers that have led to our products being available in hundreds of stores. The time here is used very efficiently, we have three full days and every minute is used and is valuable."
Tim Oldfield, Kroger said:
"I love the format, it is the best in the industry, love the level playing field, love day one meetings."
Brad Leonard, Upsher-Smith Laboratories Inc. said:
"At Upsher-Smith, we start off every year with a new plan with each one of our customers at ECRM’s Branded Pharmaceuticals event. The format of the event ensures quick, continuous meetings that continue to grow our business. We are assigned to meet with all our customers at scheduled times, which holds them accountable to finding us at the show. All these meetings at once would be overwhelming, but ECRM prepares us with continuously updated customer information and easy follow-up through the MarketGate software."
Craig Kimble, Fruth Pharmacy said:
“ECRM gives you a large return on investment on your time. For a minimal time investment you can do an entire product line review, meet with key vendors, and set follow up for desired items. We are currently in the middle of a couple of RFP processes with technology and this event allowed me to meet with multiple vendors, some of which we would not have previously considered. We were able to drill down on a current vendor contract. As a result of the meeting, the vendor came on site and presented about additional features we had available today that we were not aware of. Also, as a result of the meeting and subsequent follow-up, we are expanding our relationship with this vendor, who may have been replaced otherwise. ECRM’s format allows me to meet one-on-one with multiple vendors in an efficient, organized setting, rather than competing with others for 5 minutes time at other trade shows. This is a very competitive economy. While we feel we have a strong customer base, we have to do everything we can to maximize ROI and time spent with vendors. We were able to fit multiple goals into this meeting to help drive margin and reduce expenses and help our overall bottom line. We are trying to drive multiple projects at once to maximize the margins in our stores and this meeting’s format facilitates achievement of those goals. ECRM has helped facilitate key contract and vendor discussions, making our time at the event worthwhile and extremely valuable.”
