Did we ever have a GREAT SHOW at International Gift and Home Furnishings Show at AmericasMart in Atlanta, July 15th - 19th!

 

I knew something was up when everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, when it came to setting up our booth.

In all my years of experience working tradeshows on both coasts and all points between, I had come to recognize this as a sure sign that something good was about to happen. Coming close to running out of order forms the first day--with visits from some of the biggest retailers in the country asking our BUY MOM exhibitors for samples to be sent to their buying offices after the show--was proof that I was right.

Writing Orders & Taking Names!

Some of the BIG RETAIL BUYERS that came to our booth and requested samples from our exhibitors included:

  • BED, BATH & BEYOND
  • BUY BUY BABY
  • JC PENNEYS
  • HALLMARK CORPORATE
  • MARRIOTT HOTELS
  • YANKEE CANDLE
  • LTD COMMODITIES
  • PLOW & HEARTH
  • HARRIET CARTER
  • BUYSEASONS
  • AND MORE! Including small retailers across the country in every market segment!

Aly Benson of WhippyClip

But attending the biggest tradeshow in America is about more than writing orders and taking names--as good as that is!

It's about sourcing manufacturers, scouting out permanent showrooms, getting your Press Kit in front of industry media heavy-weights, connecting with domestic and international distributors, attending seminars, and learning priceless lessons about the retail industry from walking the millions of square feet of exhibit space spread over three huge buildings that make up AmericasMart.

One of our exhibitors was singled out for an upcoming feature in the most influential retail industry publication GIFT AND DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES.

Another exhibitor was selected as having one of the Top Ten Best New Items at the show by another industry expert.

How do your measure the success of a show?

Jan of PooDunki

Some of our exhibitors wrote lots of cash orders at the show, while others did not. Still, some of those did not are the ones who connected with the biggest retailers. Or sourced quality manufacturing overseas at a price that would lower retail barriers to entry. Or found a distributor who could help them penetrate massive chains using the connections and successful track record they already had in place.

One thing is certain though--presenting products READY FOR THE SHELVES of major retailers, including well-designed packaging, hang-tags, merchandising, pricing, Sell Sheets and Press Kits, is what set those at the top apart.

The other intangible thing that contributed to the success of our exhibitors was a winning, passionate attitude, and a willingness to work the floor every minute of the show.

No Quitters, No Criers, No Excuses, No Complainers--especially No Complainers!

At every tradeshow I've ever been at I can always count on hearing complaints from 80% of the exhibitors there, including the following: show traffic is off; it's the worst they've ever seen it;  nobody's writing orders; big retailers aren't shopping; the venue is bad and does not compare to other cities.

This show was no exception.

I've heard these exact same complaints every show since 2003--even before the recession hit and the floors were flush with buyers with lots of money. I've always listened to the complainers--even as they complained about the traffic in front of our booth limiting their ability to sell as they did this time--knowing that they were making excuses for their own failures to make the most of the money they spent to attend the show. In your journey to the top you will be confronted with the complainers at every step. You have a choice: complain--or succeed.

They call them "Temporaries" for a reason

I want to clear up some of the myths about tradeshows right now:

  1. If you're exhibiting in the "Temporary Showrooms" section for more than 2 years, you're doing something wrong.
  2. If you're going to a tradeshow with the expectation of writing enough "cash or credit" orders to cover the costs of the show, you're setting yourself up for failure.
  3. If you go to a tradeshow without preparing to fully exploit every opportunity presented there, including press, distributor, manufacturer and representation, you're wasting your money.
  4. If you spend your money on costly booth designs and furnishings, you will not survive.
  5. If you don't use the successful foothold you gained from exhbiting to launch yourself into big retailers across the country as quickly as you can, you will run out of money and miss your opportunity to do so.
  6. If you're not ready to take advantage of an offer from a big retailer to put your product on shelves across the country because you haven't intelligently worked out manufacturing, pricing, merchandising, EDI logistics, capitalization and marketing--they will never ask you again.

What's it take to succeed?

Why was our booth busier than the rest? Why did buyers from so many big retailers visit us to ask for samples to be sent to their buying offices after the show? Because we worked every angle:

  1. We advertised in The Market Magazine, mailed out to 200,000 retail buyers 6 weeks before the show.
  2. We printed and distributed a stunning BUY MOM CATALOG to thousands at the show.
  3. We paid to have our catalog posted on AmericasMart Virtual Storefront, where 110,000 retail buyers come to shop each month.
  4. We vetted and responded to 100's of wholesale inquiries from our BUY MOM WEBSITE, before, during and after the show.
  5. We handled most of the agonizing and complicated logistics of booth display, set-up, electrical, lighting, furnishings, signage, forms, and more, so our exhibitors could focus on one thing: SELLING.
  6. Our exhibitors worked hard to get ready to BREAK DOWN THE DOORS OF BIG RETAIL!

Channels of distribution are keys to the millionaire kingdom

All of the exhibitors who joined BUY MOM in July at AmericasMart were LAUNCHING THEIR PRODUCTS for the first-time. Most of them are already well on their way into big box retail.

Capitalization

"Raising capital is the single most important job any start-up entrepreneur has to do, and nobody’s teaching anybody how to do it—until now."  Kim Lavine

Are You Looking for Money to Start or Grow Your Business?

In this 8 WEEK course I'll prove to you just how historic opportunity is enabling you to connect with angel investors in your community and across the world in ground-breaking ways that will change the way businesses find money forever.

Private equity is being called the BANK OF THE FUTURE, and those who learn how to tap into the new banking system are the people who will not only survive, but thrive in America's New Economy.

Did you know that there is $20 Billion available in Angel Capital to start and grow your business, and that number is growing by 20% each year? Do you want some of that money and not know where to even start?

What's Holding You Back?

  • Are you intimidated about pitching to a tough panel of investors?
  • Do you think investors are only interested in high-tech, medical devices and multi-million dollars in sales history?
  • Have banks turned down your requests for money for your business?
  • Do you have an unyielding desire to see your idea in the marketplace?
  • Are you ready to do whatever it takes to start knocking down doors separating you from success?

Then you came to the right place

I'm bringing everything I've learned from successfully raising angel capital twice, while recruiting world-class talent to work for my company, to help you do the same.

"Kim Lavine is pragmatic and street-smart. I would give her my highest recommendation."  Terry Cross

TERRY CROSS, a former Sr VP and shareholder with Kidder, Peabody, has participated in the start-up of over 40 companies, including Google, PayPal, Inktomi, Napster, etc. Named to the International Task Force for a World Financial Center, he is a Founding Board Member of Great Lakes Angels, and the Michigan Venture Capital Association.

The 8-Week Course Includes:

  1. OPPORTUNITY: Forget everything you heard about Angels only investing in high-tech and medical devices. The top two categories Angels are investing in is women's media, followed by consumer products. This course will take you through the different types of funding available, what they're looking for, and how to evaluate your product or service to understand it's true value and potential for you and investors. You'll complete course material designed by Kim Lavine to help you and others see the BIG PICTURE, in order to start down the path to successfully raising capital.
  2. ROAD MAP: You can't raise a million dollars to fund your business without writing a million dollar business plan first. The problem is, very few people have seen what a million dollar business plan actually looks like--until now. This course will take you to the head of the class, teaching you not only how to write the plan, but where to find additional free resources to get it done. But we don't stop there. You will learn how to put together the essential financial documents, and summarize them in a winning PowerPoint presentation--the essential tool for converting prospects into investors.
  3. PITCHING: Once you've learned to think big enough to see the real potential of your product or service, and put together the million dollar business plan, financial documents and PowerPoint presentation, you'll learn what it takes to pitch it like a pro. Not only will you learn where and how to look for money specifically, with a business plan and Executive Summary personally reviewed and critiqued by Kim Lavine, you'll get training in how to pitch, from what to wear to how to say it. By the time you're done, you'll have crafted an elegant and effective elevator pitch that nobody can refuse. But most importantly, you'll have the confidence and courage to stand up in front of the toughest investors and sell your business and yourself, developed by practicing your pitch to Kim Lavine herself until it's perfect.
  4. DEAL-MAKING: You're going to succeed! Everything you've done up to this point prepares you for the art of making the deal. You will be prepared to protect yourself and take potential investors to the mat by mastering the essential documents of the deal, starting with the most important one: the Term Sheet. This one-page document is a signal that the deal has begun in earnest, and broadly outlines ever important factor you'll go on to negotiate in the next months. In this course, you will work with real documents from real deals in an interactive format. Confidence comes from knowledge, and you'll be confident that you're making the right deal when Kim Lavine is looking at it with you.
  5. DOCUMENTS: If you're putting together a million dollar deal, the devil is in the detailed documents. You'll be instructed how to handle an exhaustive list of documents in an interactive format, that will give you priceless leverage in negotiating the best deal for yourself, while retaining the most ownership and control over your company. An attorney would charge you an average of $40,000 to consult with you and create these documents alone; as a result you will save yourself thousands of dollars and countless sleepless nights knowing that you're in control of this very complicated negotiation from start to finish!
  6. THE MONEY: You can't close the deal until the due diligence is done. You'll find out what the due diligence process is really like, and how to prepare for it by having the best and most complete required documents already in place. It doesn't matter if you've gone bankrupt or have bad credit--in fact, it could help. Find out how to head off whatever other potential roadblocks they'll throw at you at the last minute, and close your deal fast while taking an authoritative leadership position in your new company.
  7. THE BEGINNING: Now that you're a CEO or President, you're going to have to learn how to run a board meeting. This course will teach you everything you need to know to take your company into the fast lane, using all the tools and resources you've learned in just eight weeks to raise money and recruit world-class talent for your company. Kim Lavine has already been here, done this, and you'll have the benefit of all her advice and expertise to insure the successful launch or your new venture.

Historic Access To Capital

By the end of this course you'll not only have NAMES and CONTACT INFO for ANGEL INVESTORS in your community and around the U.S., you'll know exactly what investments they're looking for, saving you months of work by targeting your prospects with cutting-edge tools.

The idea is only 5 percent of a product’s success; the other 95 percent is passion and marketing and it all starts with packaging, hang tags, sell sheets and websites.

I'm bringing everything I've learned taking products to millions of dollars in sales on the shelves of major retailers across the United States and Canada to help you turn your brand into a household name!

Your brand is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for every entrepreneur.

A brand is more than just a product.

Brands are the business of selling products. Leveraging your brand to sell your products to consumers from shelves of major retailers across the country requires a complete package designed to make a meaningful connection with buyers.

Branding is the most powerful sales and marketing tool there is for products, and creating an effective branding strategy enables you to put it eventually on every consumer product under the sun, from underwear to lawnmowers, whether your company made it or not. Cha-ching!

The surest way to a consumer’s wallet is through their heart, not their head. Our design and marketing services don't just say something, they make the consumer feel something, effectively communicating your brand.

Sales Are Job One!

The marketplace is crowded with millions of products competing to get the attention of the shopping consumer. It’s a reality that most retailers can’t afford to hire expensive sales personnel to sell your product, so it’s critical that YOUR PRODUCT EFFECTIVELY SELLS ITSELF!
