IBEX 2006 - NC Exhibitor Information

By this time, NC IBEX exhibitors should be done with their exhibit and advertising plans and well into development of their one-on-one marketing efforts with buyer companies. Hoping the representative will come by your booth through serendipity is a poor second place to setting up appointments, getting cell phone numbers for the contacts and then reaffirming the meeting dates and times. Now is also a good time to set up your follow-up system so you know what you are going to do with the notes you scribble down right after a new lead walks away from your booth.

We cannot emphasize enough the importance of these two key sales leads for your NC company - our growing number of NC boat building companies and the 30+ NC exhibitor companies that often have great contacts they are willing to share with fellow NC companies. Use NC Networking - we can help you with this, but you have to ask.

The following NC companies are currently registered as exhibitors: 3TEX Inc., Accu-Form Polymers Inc., Aplix Inc., Ashley Welding, Beta, C.E. Smith Company Inc., Conbraco Industries Inc., Digital Switching Systems LLC, Engineered Marine Supply, Forest City Tool Inc., Glen Raven Inc., Hickory Springs Mfg., HK Research Corporation, IPS Weld-On Corporation, John Boyle & Co. Inc, King, Lawrence Marine - The Novaflex Group, Lord Corporation, Morbern Marine, Piedmont Plastics , Reichhold Inc., Shuford Mills Inc., Southtech Plastics Inc, Tampco Incorporated, Technicon Industries Inc., tesa tape inc, The Gartner Group, Transmatic Environmental Systems, Valtekz Fabrics, Victory Bolt & Specialty Inc., and Watts Sea Tech Inc.

Remember, the IBEX Web site http://www.ibexshow.com is a virtual trade show visited by thousands of boat builders, designers, repairers, surveyors, and boatyard/marina operators worldwide year-round. As an exhibitor, you should already have your "sales pitch" and your company profile set up for your buyers to see. If not, do so ASAP.
