As soon as the books close on 2008 holiday sales reports, Value Price kicks off its first New York City Expo (January 11-13, 2009 at Jacob Javits Convention Center). Then, in early May, Value Price returns to Las Vegas (May 4-6, 2009 at the Las Vegas Convention Center); followed by a pre-Summer Season expo in Atlantic City (May 17-19, 2009 at Atlantic City Convention Center).

Seasonal Scheduling and Regional Trade Shows are Value Price Expo opportunities to enter the extreme value marketplace … leveraging off-price buying, staying competitive through a rougher economic climate, and meeting regional preferences.

1.   Leverage Off-Price Product Sourcing

Exhibitors at VPExpo NYC represent major manufacturers/distributors across 30 product categories — housewares, consumer electronics, toys, hardware, health and beauty merchandise, sporting goods, apparel, luggage and gifts/novelties.  Sellers include Mazel Company, Leon Korol, CWC Inventories, Wisconsin Toys, Consolidated International, X-S Merchandise and Liss Global … among many wholesalers, importers and manufacturers.

Timing is The Point:  (1) Connect with sellers in Manhattan during the second week after ringing in New Year’s 2009. (2) Pick and Choose among the best Excess Inventory, Store Returns, Overstocks, ReSale Merchandise.

·  If you doubt the off-price power of sourcing both new and resale value-priced products, take a look at advertising for Target chain stores and Burlington Coat Factory discount warehouses. Both crow about resale deals their buyers struck with over-stocked toy or clothing manufacturers. Who wins when returns/overstock merchandise is available through off-price product sourcing? Buyers, both wholesale and retail.

·  Spend some time, post-Holiday Season 2008, at Value Price Expo NYC, and leverage the same value-pricing opportunities for your customers. Register by clicking Lady Liberty:
