The Off-Price Specialist Show is pleased to report that their Pre-Registration numbers for their February offering have exceeded the 2008 February Show's "pre-reg" from the end of January. While the overall increase is only 4%, there are over 1,100 buyers signed up who will be coming to the Off Price Show for the very first time.
"The First-Time Buyer count continues to grow at an average of 50-70 each day," said Don Browne, Marketing Director for the Off Price Show. "Their customers are looking for mark downs, for greater value - and our exhibitors can make it happen for them."
Almost 500 vendors covering 100,000 square feet of exhibits will be ready to serve a highly-motivated buyer delegation seeking the best deals in all categories, especially accessories, footwear and new products and categories.
In anticipation of greater volume of onsite registrants from Las Vegas Fashion Week's 100,000 visitors, the Off Price Specialist Show is introducing new Self-Badging Kiosks for their pre-registered and regular buyers. Pre-registered attendees will be emailed a bar code by the show's registration company that they will then bring to the Self-Badging Kiosks to print out their badges by themselves. Buyers can also type in their registration codes.
"A lot of our regulars know their numbers by heart," Browne claims. "At past shows, they would just show up and give their number to the registration staff. Now they can do it themselves and skip the lines."
The Off Price Specialist Show takes place February 15-18, 2009 at the Venetian Grand Ballrooms in Las Vegas. It is the largest and only Off Price Show in the apparel industry, and is proud to be the official Off Price Show of Las Vegas Fashion Week.
