BNI’s 8th Annual Holiday Tradeshow Was The Best Ever!
BNI’s 8th Annual Holiday Trade Show at the Wilmington DoubleTree Hotel set a record for attendance and trading. Due to an infusion of new and exciting vendors and over 35 silent auction items, there was over $275,000 of merchandise available for sale 100% on barter. The total amount of trading done for the night was over $220,000 - nearly double the amount of previous years! Ron Whitney, BNI’s President attributes the big increase to improved customer service and a targeted sales effort, “It’s all about being responsive, caring and professional with our existing members’ needs and also staying focused on attracting valuable new members to the exchange. We did a good job on both fronts in 2001, and the success of the Trade Show is the proof.” The BNI staff would like to thank all who attended, participating vendors, volunteers, and all who offered items for the Silent Auction. Also a big thanks goes to the staff of the Doubletree Hotel. The Trade Show
was a smashing success thanks to all of your help – we couldn’t have done it without you.
Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
