10 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Miss Exhibiting at This Show

• Marketing Muscle: Produced by the WRA and ORLA, the largest restaurant & foodservice trade associations in their respective states, no one has access to deeper or broader direct marketing lists of key industry buyers and decision-makers. No one.
• Advertising Prowess: Monthly promotional ads in the official publications of both state restaurant associations, Washington Restaurant Magazine, and ORLA's Main Ingredient, as well as other frequently read trade publications such as Nation's Restaurant News, Catering Magazine, El Restaurante Mexicano, Fresh Cup Magazine, and more. We get the word out!
• E-Newsletter Communications: Beginning in January 2012, show news, developments and reminders are communicated directly to pre-registered attendees and not-yet-registered attendee prospects.
• Social Media Savvy: Our Facebook and Twitter presences amp up closer to the show, reaching potential attendees who might not have had it on their radar. Engage with attendees directly on our Facebook page to encourage them to visit your booth or otherwise just introduce your company.
• No Better Venue for New Product Introductions: There is no better place to roll out your new or soon-to-be-released product or service. Most attendees identify the opportunity to view new products and services as a key factor in their decision to attend.
• In Person Opportunities: As the region's best attended trade event of the year, there's no better two-day opportunity to touch base in person with existing customers and new prospects, and to see what your competitors are up to.
• Virtual Trade Show: Optional expanded profiles allow for unprecedented pre-show exposure, including company logos, and pictures and descriptions of products you intend to feature.
• The Show Guide: A listing in the show guide is unbeatable exposure. In addition to at-show distribution, the guide mails out as a marketing vehicle to over 20,000 restaurateurs and foodservice professionals in April 2012, supplanting that month's issues of Main Ingredient in Oregon, and Washington Restaurant Magazine in Washington. A "yellow pages" of sorts of suppliers and purveyors, area decision-makers hang on to this issue for use as business needs arise. You don't want to miss a show guide listing. Consider additional show guide advertising for even greater exposure!
• VIP Invites for Your Customers & Prospects: Personalized invitations that you can distribute to your customers and prospects to announce your presence at the show and invite them to stop by your booth.
• And Finally:
  Our 50th Anniversary Show is Expected to be the Biggest Show in Years!
