BUYERS’
GUIDE

A s I write this
message for the
Annual
Buyers’
Guide, the sum-
mer has arrived
and vacation planning is in
high gear. Not only will it
be a busy time for holidays
with your family and friends, but it
will be a key time to start thinking
about the upcoming fall/winter sea-
son. While that seems a long way off,
it will be upon us before we know it
and hopefully this issue will help you
in that respect. There are many great
ideas and sources within this issue
designed to assist you in ensuring
that your incentive programs are
exciting and successful.
Before I mention what’s to come, let
me say thank you to all who partici-
pated in our recent 3rd Annual Golf
Tournament at Lionhead. Participa-
tion comes in many variations, from
our golfers to our sponsors and gener-
ous donors of prizes, services etc., to
the volunteers who helped make this
most recent tournament a resounding
success. This will be a hard one to top
for 2008 but planning is already
underway.
Our next power breakfast is slated
for September 11, and for those in the
GTA who have never attended one of
these seminars, I encourage you to do
so. It’s a great chance to learn and
meet your colleagues in the industry.
Please look for the information on our
Web site at www.imacanada.ca.
Our Navigate the Incentive
World theme in this issue helps
deliver the message of how
connected we all can be in this
industry by using the tools at
our fingertips. The RepLink
search engine (now available
for the Canadian market) is a
valuable resource for helping resellers
search for the products and services
they need for their clients.
If you would like more information
on RepLink visit our Web site. This
guide and the advertisers within,
whether they be located in Canada or
other parts of the globe, are all striv-
ing toward the same purpose: to bring
you more information and products
that help make your programs inter-
esting and fulfilling. Our Canadian
partners are constantly working with
our global counterparts to bring a uni-
fied message and exciting products
and services that we hope you will
find useful.
If there is anything in particular
that you are searching for, whether it
is information on the market or prod-
ucts, please let us know. We will do
our best to bring it to you.
Have a great summer!
