Special Deals, Exclusive Prizes are Added Incentives for Vending Operators to Attend

CHICAGO, IL — March 22 – The National Automatic Merchandising Association’s (NAMA) OneShow, coming this April to Chicago, will be three days of jam-packed networking, learning and buying opportunities for vending, coffee service and foodservice operators. This year’s show also will bring the added excitement of twice-daily cash giveaways. “We’re adding a whole new meaning to the term ‘cash flow,’” said NAMA Senior Director, OneShow and Education LyNae Schleyer, NCE, CMP.

Thanks to the generosity of G&J Marketing, operator attendees at the OneShow will be eligible to win $2,000 in cash — just by being present on the show floor. There will be two random drawings each day right on the floor but operator attendees must be properly badged to win. “Excitement is building as we add more and more reasons to show up for success at the OneShow,” Schleyer said. “Imagine the thrill of winning and walking away with $2,000! All just for being at the OneShow and doing business with your friends and colleagues.”

Attendees will have plenty of other chances to help cover their OneShow travel investment since major industry suppliers will be offering Show Specials. These are exclusive, one-time-only deals that will provide favorable pricing and/or terms on everything operators need to successfully run their businesses.

“These brand-new exhibitor show specials are a key reason why operators should not only plan to attend the OneShow, but be prepared to place orders and enjoy the associated savings,” Schleyer said. “And if all that isn’t exciting enough, we know some suppliers are offering incentives to make purchases during the show itself with big-dollar awards. But you have to actually place the order at the show to earn those savings!”

The NAMA OneShow runs from Wednesday – Friday, April 27-29, 2011, at McCormick Place North in Chicago. It is the vending, coffee service and foodservice industry’s must-attend event for operators to see cutting-edge technology and industry innovations, meet with industry peers under one roof and learn how to grow their business. “When you walk the show floor, be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for great deals,” Schleyer counsels attendees. “And make sure to wear your OneShow badge at all times to be eligible for cash giveaways.”
