“I think the figures speak for themselves. By mid-day on the 2nd day of the show, we have already clinched 2 projects worth approximately to USD 800k. One buy even wanted to buy all our equipment immediately after the show!  That adds another USD 200k to our sales turnover in just 1.5 days.”

“PALM EXPO is a good avenue to get to know international visitors besides the captive Chinese market. I have received enquiries from a distributor from Lebanon, and business visitors from the former greater Russia.”

“With such an established history behind them, the show is certainly able to attract the type of customers that we so desire. Over the years, the PALM EXPO show has helped us increase the profile of our brand, and with that naturally comes a raise in our sales figures.”

“We are very happy at being very well represented at PALM EXPO 2009… The organisers did a brilliant job in the marketing of PALM Expo 2009 and in the promotion of our Beyerdynamic brand.”

“Sales at PALM EXPO 2009 were very good, and surprisingly even better than last year! Our latest launch product, the 2000 series wireless system, which was presented for the very first time at the show and our wonderful band performances attracted the crowd. Our booth was swamped with visitors and we could hardly cope with sales!! Thank you for the excellent effort in marketing the event and our Sennheiser brand.”

- Victoria Song, Marketing Manager, Sennheiser Beijing Representative Office

A special note of thanks from the organizers

In spite of the current Global Slowdown, you have nevertheless made your way to the show and we are most grateful for your support.
