Testimonials

Hi NPS Team,

Just wanted to repeat what I mentioned to you the other day:  The NPS show this year was even better than last. I don’t get to attend the “large” shows during the year and I appreciate all the work that goes into doing these. Thank you and to the suppliers who work so hard to help us with our businesses. Please let all involved how important these events are.

Great show today.  I liked the new site at the Marriott Middleton and plan to see you in February. Brought the President of the company to their 1st NPS show and they were impressed. Thank you for the new ideas.

The shows PCA exhibited at with NPS are absolutely great! Many thanks for all your hard work in putting together successful, well-attended shows. You really go the extra mile in getting distributors to the shows which is very much appreciated. I recommend NPS to other suppliers frequently assuring them of the value of their exhibit with you. Thanks again, Bill. See you in the fall.

Distributors tell us that New Products Showcase consistently brings the industry’s best suppliers, companies they work with everyday, to them. For many distributor sales people that do not travel to Las Vegas or one of the other ‘Major Market’ shows, New Products Showcase is a must attend annual event. We attend many shows each year and the cost/exposure value of NPS shows keeps us coming back.

Bruce S.

CPS/Keystone Line

When making a selection of which shows to exhibit at as a supplier or manufacture’s rep, there are several factors to consider. Cost and number of distributors attending are the top two influences that motivate an exhibitor. The NPS shows are the most economical shows, hands down! There are no membership dues and no cost at the door for distributors, which means I get to spend quality time with more distributors without alienating potential new distributors!Because of this, the show always attracts new suppliers, that carry new products, as well. The NPS shows really are a win-win situation for both suppliers and distributors. It is easy on the pocketbook and everyone has the time necessary to build lasting partnerships in the promotional products industry.

I am excited about once again doing the NPS Showcase this Fall. These shows are always well attended and you and your team do a great job in putting these shows together. As we discussed, HIT has added so many new products that we have a lot of new items to introduce at your shows.  This year’s Fall Showcase will be the perfect venue for the distributors in the Midwest to see them. Looking forward to seeing you guys!

I love talking with vendor professionals. This was the best show yet! I received samples and literature, learned about new products, and just loved it. Everyone seemed in good spirits and seemed to really be enjoying the show. I’ve taken literature and samples to networking events and presented “the latest info from the best vendors” and stirred a lot of interest. In many cases I’ve been able to quote and write orders based on presenting “exclusive” hot-off-the-press items just after a NPS show. I love our vendors and I love working with many of them. Keep up the good work and I truly appreciate your efforts.

The Hunt Group is proud to endorse the New Products Showcases throughout the Midwest.  The NPS shows in both the winter and fall are the best value-add to our business.  Top notch suppliers as well as top notch multi-line representatives exhibit at these shows.  The participation from our distributors is phenomenal!  The NPS Marketing Team do an amazing job getting the word out about these shows; dates, locations and who will be exhibiting at the shows.  Both large and small distributors attend this venue and all seem to leave with new marketing ideas and items to sell.   We as representatives are provided snacks and beverages during our set up process.  If we were to do only one traveling show or table-top of any kind, the New Product Showcases would be our choice.

NPS is the largest and best traveling trade show in the Midwest! It continues to grow and provide me with the biggest bang for my buck! It gets me out into my territory in the 1st quarter providing my suppliers an opportunity to reach out to all the distributors that did not attend the major trade shows. It puts the new products in front of them and gives me the opportunity to build the sales in my territory. Just last fall I took a chance to step out of my regular territory and do an NPS show. I invested in that show and WOW did I get a payback! I was in the right place and met the right person that had a need, not just a story. The sale was closed on the show room floor, a pre-production sample furnished in 2 days and order completed and delivered 2 days early! It made my factory very happy because that order pushed the company’s sales figures past last years’ sales . I want to thank NPS for providing the opportunities over the years, and building my business as well as for my factories . I look forward to many years to come.

We’ve just signed up for the full slate of NPS 2014 shows.  We’re excited to continue our support of NPS.  Our past experience has shown that NPS allows us to see key “sales makers” in major markets in an effective and efficient way.  We haven’t found any shows or venues that are even close to NPS.  Keep up the great work and we look forward to a great 2014 with NPS.

  You are doing a wonderful job with organizing this Showcase!  It is getting better and better every time it arrives.  We love seeing our reps and that you are adding more and more new vendors.   Everyone I talk to says how good it is to have such a nice show come to our area.  KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

The efforts of those suppliers and multi-line reps who travel and exhibit at the New Products Showcase is appreciated by many of us local distributors who do not often attend the national shows.  We say thanks to you and hope you continue to come to Columbus, OH. I think the NPS team does a wonderful job. I feel fortunate that the New Products Showcase is so useful and as close to travel to.

Not only do I look forward to the next local NPS show but I rely on them to keep me connected with my favorite suppliers. I appreciate that NPS has been continuously loyal to the Cleveland distributors for the past 13 years and appreciate them enabling me to meet with suppliers without having to incur significant travel time.

"I loved that I could meet a large number of vendors without traveling out of state. I could take a few hours out of the work day (not travel days, etc.) and see a large number of vendors and products close to home. The suppliers were very hospitable even though they were incredibly busy! I loved that i coulse see, touch and feel many of the products, too! I look forward to the January show!"

Cathy C. - PIP Printing

"The New Products Showcase offers a complete representation of lines important to NV Corp. and the suppliers exhibiting at the shows are always prepared and helpful."

Tom N. - NV Corporation

"The NPS show allows me a chance to meet the suppliers in person, giviing them, and myself, a chance to get aquainted on a first name, face-to-face basis. Getting to know them deepens my knowledge of the companies they represent. The New Products Showcase is a smaller venue where I can really learn more about new, and review existing products in a hands on classrom style (not just catalogs or website) setting.  I would really miss the New Products Showcase if it went away."

Kim G. - Proforma Graphic Impressions 2

"The NPS show is a great opportunity to see what some of my top suppliers are offering for the coming year. I am always searching for new and unique products that have good perceived value that I can introduce to my customer base. I always have several repeat type projects in mind when I go to the NPS, and will often ask for samples for my specific customers that I feel might be a really good fit.  This strategy has worked with several different vendors every year I have attended.  This is why I look forward to the New Products Showcase show every year!"

Tim K. - General Advertising Products

"It’s very simple. NPS is the best showcase that comes to our area. Lots of great vendors and information."

Roger C. - American Solutions for Business

"We have been exhibiting at the New Products Showcase events since their inception.  Ironically, Big River Marketing was founded the same year and we have never missed since. We continue to see the NPS events and venues as a cost effective and efficient way to reach our marketplace. The attendance at the various locations has always been impressive and continues to grow. In addition the NPS staff always strives to accommodate the suppliers/exhibitors and genuinely listens and responds to suggestions for improvement. All in all a well run, economical, and efficient part of our tactical sales plans."
