Be on the lookout for the Value Merchandise Expo, which will be back in Atlantic City on May 16-18, 2010. For three days, an outstanding forum for exhibitors and buyers will be available for all to participate in active networking opportunities with some of the hottest names in the industry, as well as a chance to learn about and spot some emerging trends, as they are amassed under one roof for this event.

Looking back at last May 2009, exhibitors and buyers came to Atlantic City Convention Center undeterred by the economic slowdown. Contrary to what the naysayers were touting on the mainstream media, this created a vibrant and promising market for a wide variety of discounted products to be put on display for attendees to assess and consider, as they came up with winning strategies to beat the odds amidst the global financial crisis.

In the end, exhibitors and buyers got exactly what they wanted, which was value pricing at its best, and an opportunity to continue doing business with as little interruption as possible. The Value Merchandise Expo team exceeded expectations in bringing old and new buyers for three days during the exhibition, and the exhibitors were quite pleased to see old familiar faces within the value priced marketplace, as they conducted new businesses with a plethora of first time buyers. Not surprisingly, these satisfied exhibitors have expressed their positive experiences regarding the new business they have drawn from these initial buyers.

The secret to the success of the Value Merchandise Expo in Atlantic City is no secret at all, just a lesson in old-fashioned business sensibilities: it was built upon a real-time exchange of business opportunities between ventures of all sizes, between well-established veterans of trade, and new-comers in the value priced industry. Whatever your business may be, this is a perfect chance to capitalize on a market that is largely driven by a growing demand for all kinds of value-priced products.

“I have been doing Atlantic City shows for the past 14 years and the May 2009 – Atlantic City, was my BEST EVER” – Richard Gemma – Gem-La Jewelry.

“We had a good Show and picked up new accounts. The buyers attending the show wrote orders. We look forward to the next show” – Marie LaCentra – Forum Novelties, Inc.

As the US economy continues its slow but steady recovery, Value Merchandise Expo has positioned the Atlantic City event to experience equally steady growth, as the demands of the value-priced marketplace swing upward along with the economy. Through collaborative efforts with key exhibitors and media partners, and by launching marketing campaigns aimed at creating new business opportunities, VME will continue to promote value and service to all attendees who decide to stop by for a visit.

This is especially appealing to dealers, since exhibitors are expected to be coming back for an additional profit drive during this summer’s peak selling season.
