NVNR is also providing dedicated meeting space for exhibitors in the exhibit hall, free of charge, and access to an easy-to-use leads app to keep track of the connections they make during the conference. And every exhibitor receives a dedicated listing in the conference Exhibitor Directory to help booksellers find their booth on the exhibit floor.
Booksellers will be using the conference app in advance of the show to plan their schedule and book meetings with exhibitors ahead of time. They will be using the Exhibitor Directory to make decisions on who they want to talk to. There is no printed directory, so it is important to create a listing with information booksellers need to know.
What goes into the perfect NVNR Exhibitor listing?
- Logo: a sharp logo image will make it easier to find you on the exhibit floor
- Short Description: One or two sentences about the kind of products you carry or services you offer
- Show Special: If you are running any order specials for the 4th quarter, list them. Booksellers rely on this information when they are making buying decisions.
- Names and Contact info of on site reps for NAIBA and SIBA territories. NVNR brings in hundreds of booksellers from 18 states along the east and gulf coasts and west to the Missisippi. Exhibitors should bring sales reps covering the entire territory.
- Appointment Link: Registered attendees and exhibitors will be able to schedule appointments with each other during the conference using the conference app. But exhibitors can also supply their own link for scheduling appointments with sales reps outside of the NVNR event.
Commission groups and distributors representing multiple lines should list them in the description. Your represented lines can have their own listing if someone from the company has registered for the conference and will be on site and available to meet with booksellers.
The Exhibitor Directory will go live in June. The NVNR team will post all the initial listings, and will assign booth numbers as they are confirmed. Exhibitors can also designate one of their on site personnel to manage their listing and make any necessary updates.
