Exhibitors speak out about their success at the National Hardware Show®
On behalf of all of us at One2products thank you for helping make the 2009 NHS such a success for us. Your help in assisting a first-time exhibitor made the difference for us. By participating in the new product exposition area we were voted the top new item in our category and that exposure helped us in being awarded a Retailer's Choice Award. You were also correct in suggesting the "green" area as another place for us to position our product. Not to mention assisting us in garnering radio and media exposure, banner ads on your web page, and directory space. Thanks for making sure we were covered beyond just our 10' x 10' booth.
All of that added up to gaining distribution through every major hardware chain in the country. Having major buyers stop by our booth was what we were in Las Vegas for, and the NHS delivered. We will be back in 2010 with an even larger booth.

I can say that the 2009 National Hardware Show and the Inventor's Spotlight was a real success for Dotz, LLC. The traffic by our booth was heavy and steady throughout the show, and I would consider these highly qualified customer leads. The New Products Showcase area with Dotz samples on display was just another key that brought customers our way, as well. Not only did we meet and introduce future customers to the Dotz product line, but since the show we've been able to set up some new manufacturer's representative groups in markets where we did not have coverage. We continue to get inquiries and are still following up with contacts we made at the show. For a new and innovative product line like Dotz, we feel the National Hardware Show was the perfect venue. We'll be back again next year.
