AnnexStore was there!
We participated in the recently concluded International Food Expo and Bio-Search Trade Fair (May 18-20) at the World Trade Center. Unlike before, each exhibitors’ “selling” or “retail” area was held in the other part of the venue. Thus, giving the serious buyers more space and the exhibitors, more focus in attending to their clients seriously.
It turned out to be a great fair for us, being able to get more serious leads and closing schedules for demonstration. Ely , Armin, Joey and I were there for 3 days, introducing ourselves to the exhibitors, working our way to fit in their schedules in between entertaining guests.
And, while they were entertaining their guests, we were able to observe (and get to eat and drink!) at the retail area!
Comparing it to our stint at the Manila Fame, discussing eCommerce with the people from the food industry was a welcome respite. Most knew and believed in the importance of having an effective website and in being able to market it well.
Oh, and the signal from Airborne Access was better! Well, it probably helped that their booth was just beside ours. He he he.. And oh yes, being able to use a free wifi access which is worth P100 per hour!
Aileen was a few booths from us. The Google Lady was very much a “lady” on the first day, and transformed to a Google “girl” the last two days.
Our station was just in front of the buyers lounge so we got to see “pretty” and “handsome” sights alright.
Well, congratulations to all the exhibitors of the IFEX and BioSearch Fair! The Philippines needs more businessmen and entrepreneurs like you to fuel the econom! And to my colleagues at the AnnexStore ! And see you all at the next IFEX and BioSearch Fair!
Mabuhay!
