Big Show plays product matchmaker

2/20/2018

The National Hardware Show released more details on its first-ever product-recommendation program. The program is designed to more efficiently bring together attendees and the products that are most relevant to them.


“We know everyone at the Show -- both those attending to network and find new ideas, as well as those exhibiting to show off their products -- are taking a lot of time away from their businesses to come to Las Vegas,” said Rich Russo, VP of the National Hardware Show. “We also know that, with so many resources available, it can be tough to pinpoint exactly the person or product you’re looking for. We’re excited that the new recommendation program will be a benefit to both attendees and exhibitors and have a huge impact on the way attendees shop the Show.”


The National Hardware Show and more than 2,500 exhibitors -- more than 600 new to the show -- are coming to the Las Vegas Convention Center May 4-6.


The new recommendation program is described as a benefit for both attendees and exhibitors. When attendees register for the National Hardware Show, they’re asked to provide information about the product categories they’re most interested in shopping and learning more about while at the Show. They’ll then receive a personalized list of suggested exhibitors and products, matching the product categories they are interested in. The goal is to help attendees quickly and easily discover something new or find exactly what they’re looking for. While attendees definitely want to set aside some time to explore the Show floor and see what new vendors and products they can find, this list of recommendations can help attendees find the items they most want to see, according to show organizers.


Attendees can also fill out the information once inside the doors of the convention center. A Match Me welcome information center will provide attendees with a list of recommended exhibitors, based on  personal product interest. Attendees can also call or text the all-new 411 hotline, which, in addition to helping navigate the Show or find a specific exhibitor, team members will be on the line to offer exhibitor recommendations based on the products you’re looking for.


Attendees can get their personalized list before the Show by visiting nationalhardwareshow.com and logging into My Show. Once at the Show, lists and information can be accessed through the NHS Mobile App, free from Apple Store of Google Play.
