2001 SNEWS Subscriber Survey: Which Tradeshow Are You Attending?
Nov 30, 2001 Our 2001 tradeshow-attendance survey results are in, and we thank everyone for their responses. The below results represent 64 individual companies – 33 exhibitors and 31 retailers. While we received multiple responses from many companies, we chose to include only one response from the most senior member of the management or buying team because we felt that best represented the company position and not just an individual preference. Our retailer response represents both large specialty chains and stores with multiple locations, as well as single store operations, together totaling over 150 storefronts. Interestingly, an significant number of retailers and manufacturers told us by phone and email they didn't take the survey because they still didn't know which show, if any, they were going to attend. Indicative of the overall feeling in the industry? We believe so as the undecided contingent will apparently wait until the very last minute before making an attendance decision.
