My name is Gary
Gardner, founder of
www.onlinetoolshow.com.
I have a total of 40 years experience in industrial sales; marketing,
measurement systems, CNC controls and machine tools. The past 9 years I have
been Vice President of Marketing for my own company; Dimensional Control,
Inc./Spidercool, which I co-own with my son Steve.
Since I've been
responsible for trade show participation in several of my career positions,
including my own company, I know what trade shows need to accomplish for both
the seller and the buyer. Since SpiderCool has been exhibiting at major
industrial trade shows for the past 7 years, I am keenly aware of the costs,
including booth space, transporting our machining center to and from the show,
internal rigging, electrical, compressed air and miscellaneous services. Our
company spends a total of over $8,000 for a 10' X 10' booth at the 3-day
Eastec Show alone. It is worth noting that unlike most exhibitors we
have no accommodation expenses because we are located within 25 miles of the
show. Companies with larger booths can easily spend 5 to 10 times the amount we
do on just one single show.
The co-founder of
this website is Jim Mathieson, an IT professional with 25 years experience in
the information technology field. Jim has been a software consultant for most of
his career, working at many large industrial manufacturers throughout the USA
and abroad. As a consultant, he knows how important it is to market your company
and its products in a cost-effective way.
www.onlinetoolshow.com was born out of our own personal need
for more affordable marketing exposure and the realization that companies, like
yours, have the same need.
OnlineToolShow
provides a unique, super low cost way, via your online booth,
to list your total product offering, exhibit your new emerging technology and
product special(s). Every booth is the same size, which creates a level playing
field. No exhibitor has an unfair advantage. Once a prospects' interest has been
stimulated at OnlineToolShow, with a click of their mouse, they
are able to exit our website via a direct link to your website where they can
look at other products or services offered by your company or place their order.
We
are committed to helping you
s t r e t c h
your Advertising dollar(s)!
