Attendee and Exhibitor Comments

Comments from the Big Sleep Show – Washington DC (January 17-18, 2010)

"It was a pleasure to participate in the Washington DC Big Sleep Show.
Not only was it the most well-attended community education event in which we've participated, it was a great opportunity for networking with other sleep associated businesses and organizations. Thank you for inviting us!"

Shawn Kimbro, RPSGT, Manager, The Center for Sleep Disorders At George
Washington Medical Faculty Associates

"The Big Sleep Show created the opportunity for Tylenol PM to engage and educate consumers on the benefits of a good night's sleep while providing tips on how to sleep better. The expo was truly a unique way to connect one on one with sleep sufferers as well as network with other experts in the field of sleep."
Christina Hoff, Associate Brand Director, Tylenol PM

"The NSF-sponsored Big Sleep Show is a great venue to meet sleep experts and retailers locally and nationally. Our goal was to make some connections and promote awareness of our new product at the last Big Sleep Show, which we definitely accomplished. We had no idea our product would be so popular with the Expo attendees, too. We sold out the first day and had to scramble to copy more brochures and prepare more products for sale the next day. We had a very productive two day session that will continue to help boost sales in the future."
Wei-Shin Lai, MD, CEO, SleepPhones

"The Big Sleep Show was a resounding success! We were extremely pleased with the turnout for the entire expo and with the amount of traffic in the NSF pavilion. Thank you for all the support in making our experience seem nearly effortless. We look forward to future opportunities!"
Timothy Ahn, Director of Business Operations, 1st Class Medical

"Thank you for inviting Premier Sleep Centers to be a part of the Big Sleep Show. On our table we provided the community a sleep questionnaire, brochures and a chance to win a spa gift basket [and]captured over 200 names to follow up. What a positive experience: great location, excellent correspondence before and after the show and great crowd response. This is something that every full service sleep center should consider being a part of."
Michelle Christ, Marketing Director, Premier Sleep Centers

"We found the Health and Fitness Show to be a great success, and being part of the NSF's "Big Sleep Show" pavilion really helped us target those visitors who were most interested in our product. Thanks again for getting us involved. We look forward to next year."
Monica Kolbay, Director of Advertising, Mattress Warehouse

It really was a fantastic weekend, wasn’t it? Our sleep docs were delighted and said we should definitely plan to participate again next year. Thanks for all your hard work putting the Big Sleep Show together. It was great spreading the word about sleep!

Susann Spring-Franklin, Manager, Institute of Sleep Medicine, DuPage Medical Group

Thanks for the great event. I believe it was a success for AmericInn’s Sleep Better America campaign. Also, thanks for offering Chris Drake a great interview opportunity with NBC. I thought you might like seeing the segment and sharing it with others.

Thank you for the opportunity, it was a great arena to launch our campaign to consumers who were interested in sleep and a healthy life. We look forward to hearing from you about future opportunities. Thanks again,

Mike Strong, Marketing Manager, AmericInn International, LLC

Being face to face with the consumer rather than the docs was definitely a new experience, and I really do appreciate your commitment and interest in making it a good exhibition for us all. We will most definitely be interested in getting in front of those consumers again. Great job gents, and thanks again for your efforts.
