Clients call on the Team of Meridian Marketing to represent them in the Head Offices of major nationwide chains, from the mid-size local drug and retail outlets, all the way through to the small independent owners. They are expecting and they receive ongoing efforts in implementing original plans, new ideas and out of the box thinking about how to get their widget to the forefront of everybody's mind. Speed to market is always at the top of the Meridian priority list.

Meridian uses leading technology that enables our clients to have real-time access to their information 24/7/365. As our Team encounters and overcomes challenges our clients can be aware of these experiences and remain one step ahead of the issues and trends.

In a partnership format we communicate and share data that adds unprecedented value to our business relationships. Some of our finest work is done through our Key Account execution and flows naturally to our Retail Services. Competitive intelligence is monitored closely and reported back in a timely fashion.

Our employee training and work-with programs are designed to meet specific short and long term objectives. Along with on the job training Meridian also has incorporated Quarterly Teleconferences and an Annual Sales Meeting to ensure we maintain very precise product knowledge and situational awareness.

THE MERIDIAN MARKETING ANNUAL SALES & 2011 PLANNING MEETING

Once again we returned to the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort & Spa in Victoria, BC and the December weather held nicely for us. This event has grown over the past 12 years from a small group of 5 or 6 to a full ensemble of 25 employees and clients. As always our agenda was full, informative and fun. Our presenters were made up of many of our clients who reviewed the 2010 programs and unveiled their expectations and strategies for 2011.

The daily meetings consisted of information and idea exchanges, training sessions, relationship building and just plain fun. We always look forward to reuniting with old acquaintances, making new friends and learning new skills. One thing we know for sure... it is time well spent!
