Now, we intend to bring dealers, manufacturers, sales reps and other industry professionals a virtual trade show, making it easy way to buy and sale wholesale online. This much needed service will not be the replacement of the "Brick and Mortar" industry trade shows. Rather, they will become a supplement thereof, and they will become the added touches traditional trade shows over the past have not been able to fulfill. Here, new products and services will get to market with lightening speed. Dealers and reps, and sometimes manufacturers, will be able to collaborate and aggregate to their mutual interest. Show "attendance" will reach all time highs in both actual numbers of stores, and percent of aggregate participation. WE believe, Established buying groups will become stronger, both from their members participation and from the association with hundreds of other dealers that help their buying efforts. All buying groups serve the purpose of helping to keep aggregate dealer pricing on products and services in check. All buying groups also are helping keep the "Sell Direct Mania" by some manufacturers in check. They also help keep in check now, and more so in the future the unfair trade practices and alliances with industry manufacturers by Discount Retail giants like Wal-mart, K-Mart, Sears and others. Sales reps will have a quick way to show off new products, and a firm way to help out some of their "cash" lines that they currently have, or may now decide to pick up due to this new marketing channel. Manufacturers will be able to fine tune products before offering them at brick and mortal shows. These are many of the reasons for the launching of these virtual shows, which again are dealer based, with close alliances with industry sales representatives. Plus, we are sure there will be many benefits arise we have never even thought of in the weeks to come. Welcome to a new way of doing things, all of which will benefit starting at its very heart, the customer dealer level.
