Davidson’s will offer live broadcast events Jan. 4-8 to kick off a new series it is calling "Live From Davidson's."
The series of live streaming events will be an ongoing effort to show the latest news, promotions and industry knowledge to Davidson's dealer network and the Gallery of Guns’ consumer base.
The initial broadcasts, titled “D-Week Live”, will occur the first week of January and will be exclusively for Davidson’s national FFL dealer network. Following “D-Week Live” will be a regularly scheduled roster of events occurring monthly at a minimum.
“We have worked with our vendors for over two years publishing live streaming events”, said Kane Cannedy, VP of Purchasing for Davidson’s. “Now we have taken steps to be even more flexible and timely and produce events for both our consumers and dealers. Having strong relationships with our manufacturing vendors will also allow us to impart industry knowledge straight from the sources.”
Dealers are encouraged to keep in touch directly with Account Executives as event dates approach.
