EXHIBITORT TESTIMONIALS
We come here because there are bigger opportunities and better buyers coming by. We get some new customers at every show. There are chain store buyers, boutique buyers, mom and pop shops… it’s a wide range of buyers here. ASD has helped us get more buyers and move more merchandise.
At ASD we see not just buyers from the mainland United States, we’ve had Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Antigua, all around the USA, Latin America and Canada. We just got a new account from Costa Rica at the show this year. We also got our largest wholesaler from this show, and they purchase in the millions of dollars a year from us. All from this show.
This show is a MUST attend. We see all kinds of customers here at ASD. We see anywhere from mom-and-pops to chain store buyers. About 15-20% of our annual business comes from exhibiting at this show, it’s a lot!
We’ve gotten many large accounts from this show – ones with 800, 1,000, 1,500 stores – like Burlington – we met them here at this show. The traffic here this year is amazing! It’s beat my expectations. The customers come here with a budget and are ready to spend it.
