Each show typically runs 3 days out of the year; Anaheim in March, and Boston in October. Nearly all corporations that specialize in the natural product industry will attend as an exhibitor, wholesaler, distributor, manufacturer, etc. The goal: To network with individuals in the same marketplace to acquire knowledge and conduct business. With more than 1,500 booths and over 20,000 attendee's, it is difficult to explore the entire convention in 3 days. Though if you can, you will indulge in the many samples of food and drinks available, and educate yourself with informative ideas and concerns relating to the industry. Whether you're interested in hair & body care, supplements, vitamins, baby care, or healthy foods, the Expo may be a well-deserved visit for you.
Though the registration fees can be quite expensive for manufacturers and suppliers ($250-350 per nametag), and in the thousands to exhibit, immediate and long-term relationships will provide for more than the costs of attending. Simply attending and conducting business with one international distributor has always paid for our show costs. In addition, the visitors who stop by our display will be provided with samples and literature regarding the products. Many of these visitors will be owners and health care buyers from wholesale stores across the United States; and though we provide show sales and discounts, one small order from a wholesaler will easily make up for our loss in free samples, etc.
To top it off, the show never fails to be a delightful experience. Interaction with thousands of people enliven the atmosphere; with the exception of thieving consumers attempting to sneak your display products into their handbag. Secret: We empty the display products before-hand. Nightlife in the surrounding cities always feature live bands and allow you to develop more personal relationships with your business contacts, especially when alcohol is involved. If you are among the many health conscious individuals interesting in this ever-increasing marketplace, be sure to ask your health care associate or specialist how you can attend.
