Nine Distributors Win Extravagant Prizes at The ASI Show Orlando
TREVOSE, PA — (February 19, 2007) — Nine lucky attendees at the seventh annual ASI Show Orlando (January 18-20, 2007 at the Orange County Convention Center) were chosen from thousands of entries as winners of fantastic prizes for the show’s popular “Passport to Winnings” contest. Prizes available in the drawing include a trip to The ASI Show Las Vegas, a Plasma TV or a year’s worth of gas, useful business-building software, a digital camera and the Ultimate Prize — a two-year lease on a 2007 BMW Z4 Roadster.
“Year after year, the Passport to Winnings is one of our most popular programs,” noted Matthew Cohn, President of The ASI Show. “It’s truly a win-win situation. Participating suppliers experience busy traffic throughout both show days, and distributors get a chance to learn about vendors’ newest products, earn free shipping and win some great prizes. One of my personal highlights each show is announcing the Passport winners. The excitement leading up to the announcing of the winners shows me how popular the Passport program really is.”
In Orlando, the Grand Prize — choice between a 42” Plasma TV or a year’s worth of gas — went to Roy Mathews of Monarch Printers, asi/275401. The two winners of the First Prize, the Ultimate Office featuring ESP Online, were Jerry Jagielski of Signature Services, asi/326617 and Natalie Hildebrand of Stitchin’ Embroidery, asi/337013. Four winners received the Second Prize, a trip to The ASI Show Las Vegas: Patricia Arvidson of ARVI Advertising Specialties, asi/470208; Steve Cook of PBS Ad Specialties, asi/299811; Joel Lipperini of Genesis Marketing, asi/204512 and Karen Ronk of Western Associates, asi/358500. Two Third Prize winners — Terry Alters of Moon-Shadow Merchandising, asi/276009, and Margie Griffith of Manatee Apparel, asi/260233 — were able to choose between a digital camera and a $250 travel credit towards a future ASI Show as their prize.
In total, The ASI Show Passport program will award prizes to 46 lucky winners in 2007 — including the Ultimate Prize, a two-year lease on a 2007 BMW Z4 Roadster! The Ultimate Prize winner will be chosen (from all non-winning entries received during all five 2007 shows) during the Closing Celebration at The ASI Show Chicago, July 10-12, the final ASI Show of the year.
Future 2007 Shows
The ASI Show Orlando was the first of five ASI Shows in 2007. The remaining 2007 ASI Shows include Dallas, which recently took place February 7-9; Las Vegas, March 19-21; Philadelphia, May 3-5; and Chicago, July 10-12. Mary Upton, Vice President of Tradeshow Operations, noted, “After a fantastic start to the new sales year at ASI Orlando, we are 100% on target with attendee pre-registration and booth reservations for the remaining four shows of 2007. We’re looking forward to maintaining the momentum and producing another great year of successful, business-building events.”
The ASI Show will return next year to Orlando January 3-5, 2008.
