Here at the Mid America Trucking Show

I have now posted entries for all four days we were at the Mid America Trucking Show, please see all posts below:

It is Wednesday afternoon on March 24th and I spent three hours setting up our booth.

We are now ready for the on slaught of attendees that will be coming to the Mid America Trucking Show for the next three days. I will be adding to this blog entry over the next few days to keep you up to date as to what is going on.

Tommorow, March 25th is the first day and will open at 10 am for a V.I.P. session prior to the 1:00 p.m. general admitance. This place is huge and I hope to get a chance to look around before the doors open in the morning. Until tomorrow.

Sorry I did not post last night after the first day, we were all very tired. Still beat today but will get these photos up and report how things are going.

Here is the booth all ready in the West Wing #62124. I think we have a great location.

Thursday was slow during the first 4 hours of V.I.P. only. We could not even get one person to register for our VIP only drawing so we did not have to have one. But by 1:00 and the regular opending we had some takers and drew our first winner at 1:30.

Rich won a 5 gallon pail of Big Rig Brite. Our next winner also won some Big Rig but has not been by the booth again for a photo. The last drawing of the day was for an Aqua Force arm brace but he did not put his phone on the entry and only put down a P.O. Box so we will have to first contact him by mail and my have to draw a replacement winner after the show. We will post all winners in our April Newsletter.

Today was the second day and quite a bit busier but not too much to handle. We had better luck with winners today.

The first Big Rig winner, Machelle.

 

Our second Aqua Force Arm Brace winner, David.

We also had our first of two days of Big Rig Network drawing winners at their booth at 2:00 p.m. Here is the winner,

Jeanie chose a case of 4 Big Rig Brite gallons vs. a 5 gallon pail for the convience to travel with just a gallon at a time on the road. She is a real women truck driver not just a trucker wife.

Looking forward to tomorrow to be the busiest and hopefully we will have all our winners get back by the booth. More updates soon.

Well the last day opened an hour earlier and was busy early too. We had real brisk business until around 1 when it started to slow down slightly. Had a lot more takers for our in booth spin to win prize wheel.

Attendees were able to win prizes like a micro fiber towel, a sticky dash pad, product samples of our Oder Out Netrualizer or Scat fabric stain remover, a great personal utility bag for tolietry items or cash off coupons for our products in either $10, $20 or $50 amounts.

We had our second Big Rig Network drawing at their booth at 2:00 There was a larger crowd than on Friday.

and our winner was John who chose 5 gallons of Brown Derby for washing his tractor and trailers.

By 3 p.m. the crowds really died down but we stayed all the way until 4 even while breaking down to keep spinning our prize wheel and scanning badges. We unfortunitly did not have any of our last day booth drawing winners available to come by our booth for photos since most had put their entry in on Friday and where already back out on the road. But we will be listing all our winners in our next Newsletter.

Can not wait to get a good nights sleep and then head home tomorrow for the 7 hour drive back to Atlanta.

I'll be back at work bright and early Monday morning to start getting out all the show orders and prize winnings, sending out requested information, and doing post show follow ups.

Hope to hear from you all soon.
