Distribution Meeting with Maverik Lacrosse

On wednesday I attended a meeting between my client and one of his distributors. The distribution rep was there for Maverik Lacrosse. He was there to show off equipment coming out for the upcoming spring season, set to drop in December and January. I got to see a lot of products I was already familiar with with new aesthetic designs attached. The really interesting part came with the introduction of new products. Many of these were not physically there to see but instead in a PDF catalogue for their 2012 line. 

I wish I could have gotten my hands on the PDF to share but they seemed to be somewhat confidential. I thought it was odd that they wouldn't bring in new products considering many of the images in the PDF were physical pictures, as apposed to digital renderings. I guess that't where the company's relationship comes into play. Maverik, like all the other product companies, has a log standing relationship with Empire. I was told since the store opened the distribution rep had been the same. You have to take his word and his company's word to heart and just believe they will be bringing you a quality product year after year.
