Yes, it is true — Big Rock Sports leads the industry in offering the largest and most successful dealer shows in the industry. New products, new dealers, new ideas, the right product mix and appropriate markets are the draw for over 9,000 dealer attendees and 900 vendors.

With 35 years under our belt, you could say that we’re “seasoned” in hosting dynamic dealer shows. Given our 5 strategically located annual dealer shows per year, there’s always a show in planning. The professional teams behind them accept no less than excellence, ensuring each show comes together smoothly and keeps with the standing of the #1 dealer shows in the industry.

We offer excellent show terms, great savings, many show specials, cash give-aways, super prizes and the exclusive Big Rock Sports “Hot Profit” events amount to savings and opportunities that you just can't miss.

Trade shows have come a long way through the years. Across the country, our distribution centers have always known the importance of bringing the product out of the warehouse to the customer. From the back of an old station wagon, to restaurant table tops, tackle shop displays and local warehouses, the shows grew until they reached such proportions that it was necessary to move them to larger exhibit spaces.

There was no doubt that the shows generated a lot of business and show sales always exceeded expectations. In 1972, a dealer show was held at a restaurant in Morehead City, NC with sales exceeding the prior year’s volume. Each of our distribution locations continued on with this exhibit and sales technique. Success was the bottom line. It was imminent that the sporting goods industry was booming and that the growth trend would continue.

As business grew and dealers and product lines increased, it was clear that the shows needed to be strategically located in more regional metropolitan areas across the U.S. Today, we have 6 dealer shows all orchestrated by hundreds of employees throughout our distribution centers. We have embraced the growth and success of our shows and are proud to bring you the industries’ #1 trade shows.

Up of course! Big Rock Sports is committed to the overall success of our dealer shows, customers, vendors and our relationships with each. Introducing new products and technology requires strong market knowledge, intuitive forecasting, strategic planning and last but not least timing. Our buyers, sales associates and marketing team continue to work together in advance of show time, tweaking and pouring over details, to make sure everything is in place for product promotion and a successful show.

We seize every opportunity to promote our vendors, products and dealers. We think it is important to not only do this in large show venues but to develop a presence through grassroots events. This approach offers many creative avenues to target specific regional product promotions. It is a great way to bring the dealer, retailer and community together to build community awareness and interest in hunting, camping, shooting sports, fishing, ice fishing, boating, marine and other outdoor activities.

If we sound a bit excited, it’s because we are. Take a look at our complete trade show and event schedule for dates and other show information.
