Tradeshow Season is On by Chris Jensen, Chief Operations Officer

Tradeshow season is on.  Namifiers had an awesome showing at last month’s Tradeshow.  We were the lanyard sponsors as well as sponsors for the actual show.  It was amazing to see all the work we do laying on the necks of almost 5000 people.  Namifiers as a company, is really starting to step into the light in the ARA industry.  This year’s show was such a success because of everyone that was here working so hard…

Not only are tradeshows going on for us but they are going on for thousands of companies worldwide.  This is a great time for Namifiers because we get to supply a lot of them with the show lanyards and supplies.  This year, let’s push really hard to get all the jobs we can for these tradeshows.     

I want to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication as we were away.  This year is gearing up to be the best year we have ever had at Namifiers.  Please continue to press forward and work hard so it truly can be the best year ever.

2008 ARA Trade Show - Las Vegas, NV by Brad Gasaway, Vice President of MarketingOver the last few months, most of you have caught wind of the buzz building up for our preparations for the ARA (Awards & Recognition Association) trade show.  The ARA represents thousands of buyers nationwide that run local award shops in their respective communities.  Namifiers has a supplier relationship in this association, wherein we supply badge backings, badge holders, lanyards, nameplate holders, badge printers, and other wholesale accessories to those shops that wish to make their own nametags and sell them to local customers. Since our inception to the ARA, we have been turning heads at their biggest trade show each year, The International Awards Market in Las Vegas.  We’ve challenged some of the biggest names in this particular industry, as far as price and quality, and have successfully converted several hundred clients to our trusted brand.  I am happy to report that that trend continued last week as we exhibited at the ARA show for the 4th time.By sponsoring and producing the Show Lanyards, we were able to add a pleasant flair to the sea of 5,000 attendees and hundreds of exhibitors, all wearing the Namifiers logo and contact information about their neck.

Beyond the trade show aspect, the industry also organizes dozens of classes for retailers to attend and sharpen their skills in any number of areas.  Our CEO Bryan Welton, Jr. was invited to instruct two of these educational seminars, covering three hours worth of material in front of standing-room-only audiences.

By the end of the exhibition, our legitimacy as industry leaders took form for buyers and suppliers alike, and next year’s forecast calls for more of the same….SUCCESS.
