Sponsorship Opportunities

Retailers consider countless brands when making category planogram decisions. Keep your brand at the forefront of retailers’ minds and highlight your industry leadership status at Total Store Expo by becoming a sponsor.

Sponsors are recognized on the TSE website, during the Business Program, and throughout Total Store Expo on our “Thanks to our Sponsors” digital signage.  As a sponsor, your company will also receive two complimentary spaces in the Product Showcase to highlight new products or services, the exclusive opportunity to do a room drop to attendees staying at the official TSE hotels, and the opportunity for two of your executives to be housed at the headquarter hotel.  Additionally, sponsors receive higher priority for booth space selection at next year’s Total Store Expo.
