Calling All Vendors - Have Your Product Tested at RetailVision Spring ‘09

Select vendor participants at RetailVision Spring 2009 will share the stage with the technical editors from CRN (who have a combined total of 60-years of technology and journalism experience) to look at, try out and discuss hot, new products. Vendor products will be demoed by this neutral third party in front of the attending retail audience.

Why participate in the Everything Channel Test Center?

1. Its FREE advertising for vendors already participating in RetailVision – in this tough economy advertising budgets are being watched closely. Since you have already invested in RetailVision, take advantage of this additional opportunity to get your product in front of the entire retail audience. One hour of the event is solely dedicated to the Test Center Demo’s.

2. You gain a third party rating of your product – building trust in the marketplace may sometimes be challenging for both new and existing vendors. Retailers have many choices when choosing a product to put on their shelves. When a neutral third party backs your product, you instantly gain credibility with your potential buyers.

3. Each Vendor participating in the Test Center will automatically be nominated to win one of the three Best in Show awards. These awards will be presented during the “Best of RetailVision” Awards Brunch being held on Thursday, April 30, 2009.

If you are interested in participating in the Test Center, please complete and submit the Test Center Application no later than March 30, 2009. Participation is limited and will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you have questions, please feel free to post them to our Twitter page or contact Ed Moltzen, Managing Editor of the Everything Channel Test Center at 516-562-7402.
