WHY EXHIBIT
“The TRA Southwest Foodservice Expo provided Flash AdBoard™ with a highly captivated and interested crowd.  We gathered over 250 leads, but we were able to talk to and demonstrate our product to at least 1000 people.  We continue receiving calls as word of mouth continues to grow from people who bought Flash AdBoards™ at the show, and people who heard about our boards from other attendees. “
Brian Murr, Marketing Director - FLASH ADBOARD

"We had a great show with a 75% conversion rate from leads to opportunities allowing our sales rep to begin following up immediately. We’re looking forward to a ROI that will far surpass our booth space investment!"                                            
Linda Carson, Tradeshow Channel Coordinator - Dur-A-Flex, Inc.
