The Shopper Marketing Expo will be held at Chicago’s Navy Pier and is focused on the “path to purchase.” LexJet is an integral part of that path to purchase, providing in-house corporate print shops and point of purchase providers with the graphics tools needed to draw the consumer off the path and to the purchase.

LexJet retail graphics experts will be on hand at Booth 720 to consult on finding the most efficient, economical and effective ways to implement a promotional and branding program. Take advantage of LexJet’s expertise, its wide range of products for any retail graphics need available through the industry’s most sophisticated and reliable shipping and logistics network, and promotional specials at the booth.
