National sales and marketing agency Onecoast opened its six-day eShow on Monday. The eShow is the industry’s first multi-line virtual trade show and runs through June 13.
Dozens of vendors are introducing thousands of new products at the eShow, more than two weeks before the first summer trade show season begins. Many of these new products are featured in multi-media videos called “First Look.”
“The eShow is great for retailers who either aren’t traveling to shows this summer or who just want to be first to see and buy the newest products,” said Ted Teele, CEO, OneCoast. “This retailer interest has been key in generating strong results on the show’s opening day.”
In addition to showcasing the newest products, the eShow offers buyers:
* the ability to browse products through dozens of online catalogs - a new feature on OneCoast.com
* videos that showcase product line introductions
* the same show specials found at the traditional markets
* an expanded schedule of educational seminars from speakers such as Bob Negen and Lynni Megginson
* a way to request an appointment with sales reps in our showrooms this summer
Many vendors will be featured in the eShow, including Mud Pie, SwitchFlops by Lindsay Phillips, Alexa’s Angels, America Retold, Beatriz Ball, Napa Home & Garden, and Wellspring.
The eShow is open 24 hours a day to all retailers and designers. New visitors to the Web site need to register on www.oneCoast.com to view pricing and place orders.
