Law enforcement vendors and trade shows

Hey guys,

2011-11-04T10:04:00.000-07:00

Thanks for stopping in, most of my new trade show ventures are chronicled at www.noairsoftforoldmen.com
or at my company blog at www.foxfury.com. I am still doing them and have a lot to say, just hard to keep up with all the blogs.
Any questions about shows or venues, I will be glad to answer if I have a clue about it, if I don't I will tell you that to. just post a comment here and I will get right back to you.

Stop on by the Booth this week and lets sit a spell

2010-09-12T17:27:00.001-07:00

Law Enforcement Expo
http://www.enforcementexpo.com/exoh/exhibitorlist.po?category=F
Columbus OH
Sept 14-15

Stop by the booth (1010) and say Hi.

I still live, sometimes TREXPO East Recap

2010-08-22T20:38:00.000-07:00

I know, you have been checking back for updates, and I have been disapointing you.

Join the club, I have been doing that all my life, just ask any on my X-wives!

I did make it to Trexpo East last week as an attendee.

No Pictures, there was very little new there to take pic's of.

A lot of the vendors that have been there in the past did not show up, but they still had a good vendor turnout.

Attendance was poor on the 1st day, due in part to a torrential downpour in the DC area.

Swift water rescue was called out a few times in the area and it made for a crappy weather day.

The second day was a little better as to floor traffic after 11.00 am.

All the vendor I spoke with had the same thought, too many people chasing the dwindling dollar pool.

I will have a booth at the Law Enforcement Expo in Columbus OH next month, so I will have a better handle on the feed back then.

Don't get me wrong, it was great to see old friends and meet some new one's.

The bottom line though for all of us there is sales, and as those drop off, more and more old friendly faces disappear.

Sad, but true

I know, I know!

2010-05-11T09:05:00.000-07:00

Does this happen to you? I know is happening to me most every night!

OK, so I have been remiss in my duties.

First I get you hooked on my insightful insights and my witty repartee, then I leave you hanging.

Join the crowd,

You are experiencing what many women across the USA have experienced,

disappointment.

I do have a post coming on the Mock Riot that I just attended,

I will try and get to it tonight, right after I take out the garbage and vacuum,

you believe me , don't you?

See you soon.

And then Tim took his pants off and she said.........

Still going

2010-03-23T08:59:00.000-07:00

Must suck to own this car in a snowy locale

Sorry for the non updates, after SHOT the season for my trade shows wont kick off again till April.

Will get an update on for the Show boot wear test and the new modified 5.11 XCT Show shirts.

Stay tuned

The North Atlantic Airsoft Expo 2010 Setup Day

2010-03-04T21:11:00.000-08:00

If you ever want to cross your product over into the untaped airsoft market make sure you sign up as soon as you can for this show next year.

Lots of disposable income still in the age group that airsoft draws.

Please see my other blog to view some pic's.

I will be updating that one each evening.

SHOT 2010, a brief review.

2010-02-26T21:37:00.000-08:00

What can I say about the show that I did not say sarcastically in the post below this one?

1st off, the move to the Sands, I feel, hurt the law enforcement vendor somewhat. I heard time and again from attendees that they could not find who they were looking for, it was too spread out and chopped up.

I think the rooms were bad in a way, if the people did not want to see someone in particular in the room you were in, you were more than likely missed. I talked to a lot of people that said the were searching out a specific vendor, then walking the main floor. A lot of the vendors without huge name recognition count on a flow of customers coming by their booth and "stumbling" upon them, lots of sales are made that way.

If you don't have the points need to get a good spot, your stuck in the back or in a side room and you don't get the traffic flow you need.

It was better than the chopped up mess that was Orlando last year.

I think that the show has just gotten too big.

The load in was a mess, so was the load out. I am still too pissed to talk about that yet.

I did see them wait until the booth across from me was set up, then they came by and told them the booth was too high, tear it down or leave!

I heard that this happened to at least 10 other vendors.

I did not experience the roof leaks others did, thank god we missed that experience!

The show staff itself was friendly and helpful, the teamsters were surly and did not seem like they were having a great time.

I have not seen any attendance figures yet, but it felt like the law enforcement numbers were way down.

Would I tell the company I was helping to go again next year, no I would not.

ROI is just not there for their product.

You can do two targeted shows for the price of SHOT and get to the market better.

The best thing about SHOT? All the great people you meet.

Will I go next year? I hope so at least to walk it.

Might write more later, might just let it go, we will see

What are your thoughts?

The SHOT show diet plan

2010-02-22T21:22:00.000-08:00

I think that Bruce Campbell should be the "King of all men"

Click on pic to enlarge

This is my way to lose weight, works every year

Step One. Say set up for the show is the 16th, you want to start packing a few days before. Because you can't find everything you need, spend those two days digging under the couch, in the garage, going back and forth to your storage mini warehouse, eat one meal a day because your so busy.

Step Two. On the 12th, Fly to Texas to meet up with the rest of your team and "get ready"

Have the car service pick you up so early that even McDonald's drive thru is not open. Be at the airport at such an ungodly hour in the morning that the airport "restaurants" (I use that term lightly) are closed. Make sure that you only leave enough time in your layover that you have to run frantically thru the Atlanta airport to get to your next flight. When you finally get to TX, wait an hour to get picked up at the airport (smoke lots of cigarettes here)

Spend every waking minute working on finishing up projects that have to be done for the show.

( one's that should have been done in Dec.)

Then spend all your other time working on last minute brain storms that sounded good at 2 am.

Remember to eat dinner at midnight
.

Step Three. Leave for Las Vegas on the afternoon of the 12th, it's only a 20 hour drive. Eat drive thru crap to save time.

Step Four. Get lost on a "Short Cut" add 4 hours sitting on your ass in the back seat with a migraine.

Step Five. Get to wonderful and glorious LV, go to the Sands, drive around it a few times before someone can figure out were you need to be, find out that you have to go wait at the weigh in station, 5 miles down the road from the Sands, wait there for a hour, then go and wait at the "staging area" for 3 hours, then drive around and around and around the Sands because no one has a FU&*ING clue were you should go. Do not eat at all during this fun exercise.

Step Six. Get to the hotel and get checked in just before midnight, have a wonderful 30.00 dinner of crappy fries and a burger in the coffee shop.

Step Seven. Get up early so you can set up and spend some down time before the show, don't eat breakfast because you know you will be finished before lunch time and can go and get a good meal. Run into one thing after another so you are still setting at the show at 7:30 PM waiting for a package that was shipped to the hotel. Eat at the hotel buffet and crash.

Step Eight. Show starts at 8:30 AM. that's AM, in Las Vegas for Christ's sake.

Get up at 6, SSS and be at the booth at 7. Don't eat breakfast, too busy for lunch. Show ends at 5:30 pm, try and pack 20,000 people into a 25 ft wide hall way, all of them tired and hungry to escape the convention center, get run over by that damned old lady on the hoveround. (were can I get one of those?)

Get back to the hotel, eat at the buffet because you to tired to leave the hotel, don't get your moneys worth

( like I can eat 25.00 worth of that swill)

because your ass is dragging and you don't want to stand in another line.

Repeat this process for the 4 wonderful days at SHOT.

Step Nine Load out on the last day, break down and pack everything in an hour, wait 5 hours for the teamsters to tell you it will be a few hours more and they will load your pallets, send everyone else off to eat and get the truck and tell them not to worry, you are just going to sit there, the teamsters will load the pallets. Once everyone leaves make sure the teamsters come back and drop the pallets for you and then tell you "we don't load pallets pal, were teamsters, we will be back in 20 minutes for them." Load all five pallets with the 1000 pounds of display yourself. Then load the trailer. Go to the room and pass out.

Step 10. For the trip home, acquire the L1V2010 Virus, start getting sick in the truck some were in AZ. Continue getting sick for the whole drive, then the flight home, then for two weeks after your home.

I LOST 16

POUNDS AND SO CAN YOU IF YOU FOLLOW THESE TEN BASIC STEPS

As you can tell it was another fun trade show, I did get to meet some great new friends, reestablished some old acquaintances and told some funny stories at the hotel bar.
Our sales team worked hard and did just about everything right. You can't ask for anymore than that.

You will never be around a greater group of people than at SHOT, it's great to think that there are 50,000 humans that love guns in those few square miles.

I raise my glass of NyQuil to seeing your all again next year.

Have a safe and happy 2010

Nope, not dead yet

2010-02-17T21:30:00.000-08:00

Yes, I am still kicking

It looks like the dreaded SHOT show disease, L1V2010, has just about run it's course.

A month is all it took this year to kill it, but I am older and I have not done the best job on keeping an immune system.

Did you have a good SHOT show?

You will hear about mine in the next post. from the response they garnered on Facebook, there were a lot of unhappy people.

My take should be up this weekend, still down to one hand typing, but getting better at it.

Check back and let me know what you thought of the show.

Still down, but not out

2010-02-05T23:29:00.000-08:00

Still recovering from SHOT, two weeks and counting!

Lot's of stories and pics to come, as soon as I get the use of my right arm back.

Typing with only using my left hand is not easy, along with trying do do just about everything else that way.

Stay tuned, same Bat time, same Bat channel.

SHOT show, wow

2010-01-26T15:58:00.000-08:00

I saw this on the morning of the second day of the show and almost passed out from laughing.
For now, watch and laugh while I get over the SHOT show crap and get to updating

2010-01-13T06:35:00.000-08:00

SHOT Show is here again. Every year I say, I am not going to get excited about this one and every year I fail.

I just never grew up and lost my love for shiny toys I guess.

This years roll up has been a tough one, lot's of challenges have been tossed onto the highway to SHOT in front of us but we have persevered and drove forward.

4 days to go till move in, all I have let to overcome is a flight to Austin, loadout of the trailer, drive to LV and setup! Then all things will be unicorns and rainbows. Of course the long range weather forecast is for rain, mon, tues, weds, SNOW on thurs and rain again fri for load out.

My 1st SHOT show was 1986, I think I must have been 2 then, as I am still so young.

This year at least we are in the Law Enforcement Section and hope for a good turnout.

If your going, have a safe and uneventful trip, stop by booth 25501 and say hi

I will be updateing each evening from the show on my other blog, will try and sneak a few in here

Good luck in Las Vegas

Happy new year

2009-12-31T08:00:00.000-08:00

Hope you have a safe one.
Less than three weeks to the SHOT show and wonderful times in LV
I bought a ton of gizmos for testing, but alas most of them were crap and failed miserably.
Look for more info in 2010

Less than a month to SHOT

2009-12-18T19:24:00.000-08:00

That time again, I have picked up a neat gadget I will share with you for your booth staff.
Pictures and review this weekend.
Stay warm

6 weeks out to SHOT 2010 show time

2009-12-01T12:48:00.000-08:00

Yes I am still alive, just when you thought it was over!
I will be back to writing more now that I kicked that nasty cough medicine habit, I have weened my self down to just two shots of NyQuil a day now.
Upcoming is the "Trade Show Boot Shootout" and yes, we have a winner!
I also want to talk about what are the best convention centers for a trade show.
More soon

If you are running a flashlight with a Cree emitter, take care and watch out

2009-10-22T22:01:00.001-07:00

If you are running a flashlight with a Cree emitter, take care and watch out
I will update this when I have the reports back. I do not want to give the company name out until I hear back from them, hopefully this is a one time freak occurrence.

UPDATE 10/23/09 from older post

I received my light back last week. No note, no explanation or even a "kiss my butt" post it note in the envelope. I did contact the company by land line and was told that the battery I used ( I sent it with the light at their request) was a "cheap" battery and that I should only use "name" battery's. OK, I will admit that I threw in a CVS brand battery, that was made by Duracell I believe, but come on, the thing exploded, I mean it blew right the hell up.
Now I am fine with a company protecting itself from lawsuits, but to not even say "sorry it blew up guy, glad you didn't lose an eye" that is just sad, poor customer service in my thinking.
Maybe it's just me, but I would think if you sold something that had the potential to explode like a 22 short, you would give your consumers a little waring about it. I contacted a company that is working with cutting edge flashlight designs and was told by their owner that they had heard of no other explosions like this happening to anyone else.
So, I should start a company testing stuff for consumers, because it seem like if it's going to have a catastrophic failure, I will be the one it happens to.
I am using the replacement light now, but I make sure when it is on the shelve, the cap is loosened all the way.
Only in my world would this happen.

NTOA 2009

2009-10-07T21:52:00.000-07:00

http://bizarrocomic.blogspot.com/2009/10/death-by-entertainment.html

Well, what can you really say about a two day show in Tulsa. Everything seems to be subjective, it just depends on who you talk to.

The 1st day for us was busy for the 1st few hours, then it seemed to turn into a standard vendor fest in the afternoon.

The 2nd day started slow, with a burst around lunch time, then a mandatory meeting for the attendees drained the hall to nothing for an hour or so. Why this had to be scheduled during the show hours was beyond me.

We were blessed with having some great vendors in our area, neat items to look at and super people to talk to, I just wish we had not spent all that money to do it!

I spoke with some vendors that thought it was a total waste of time and money, and a couple that said it was a great show for them.

Everyone across the board complained that the dept money was drying up, we knew that was coming though.

I spoke with a dept that was even disbanding their SWAT team due to the lack of a tax base.

I heard from one east coast PD that they have to cut back all training due to funds, now they will only be shooting once a year and all other times training with red guns only, that is hard times.

Will we do NTOA next year? I think our money would be better spent at ILETTA, time will tell.

Talking with a lot of long term vendors brought out that many companies are going to be cutting back on their shows next year. Times seem to be tough all over, it just took a little longer to get to us.

On the personal side, Tulsa was not bad, had a great hotel, had a great meal on Monday night with some wonderful people and most of the other time off was spent shopping for crap we forgot to bring.

The 22 hour trip out brought only one surprise, I was driving through Ashville NC and my truck started to fill with a dense white cloud, that had a unique smell. Having only 14000 miles on the truck, I was shocked and dismayed that this was happening. Pulling over rather quickly I bailed out of what I thought was a burning deathtrap.

I then bravely ventured back into the vehicle to save what I could of my possessions. I then heard a dying hissing noise, I reached into the back seat and found a can of Right Guard that I had placed in my last minute luggage bag (walmart shopping sack) had shifted and dumped the entire contents into the cab! Needless to say I felt a huge amount of relief (and a huge amount of being a dumbass)

During the last day of the show, the promoter came with some local PD and took Sam away from the booth, no, not to put him in a new pair of bracelets, but to show him that a truck had hit a pole in the parking garage and sent it thru the back window of his Tahoe! He then spent 5 hours waiting for the glass company to come and replace the window for his trip back to the shop in TX. I got to work the booth alone for the rest of the day, then break it down,( I had the easy job, waiting with the truck would have killed me) I think we were the last ones to load out.

The trip home was long, boring and uneventful, as much of it as I can remember. I think I slept thru half of it, even though I was the only one in the truck. I don't think that I will be driving to many shows that are over 12 hours away alone anymore, although I still feel 16 ( ya, right) time has taken a toll on the old body. Then again, flying the friendly skies sucks also, we will see how it goes.

I think we are done now for the year, show wise. Next will be SHOT 2010 back in "wonderful" LV

I will have some reviews up soon on some items that I picked up that might help at the shows and an update on the search for the ultimate "show boot"

Stayed tuned

NTOA 2009

2009-09-21T21:39:00.000-07:00

NTOA was great and it sucked details to follow soon

TREXPO East 2009 over, on to Tulsa and NTOA

2009-09-02T10:14:00.000-07:00

The TREXPO show was, again, a very well done show. The morning of the 1st day was packed in the 400 aisle section right up until lunch time. After classes started it became more of a vendor to vendor love fest but still all in all the 1st day was good.The 2nd day went as it has for the past years, slow start with a brisk pick up around 11:30 and a die off at 1:00. In all a very good show, one of the few that really reaches the federal level, with out all the hassles that go along with a show in DC.
The show management will go over and above for the vendors, and the meet and greet after the 1st day is still something I look forward too all year. I also like the facility, flat, no loading dock to contend with, easy in and out for those who tote their own displays.
I could do without the food prices and quality, but those are the things you live with on the road.
The area abounds in good hotels and food choices for dinner and is somewhat easy to get around in, as long as they are not working on the roads. We made more U turns then average due to the fact that the exit ramp we needed was blocked.
Grade on this show 9 out of 10 for location and facility
10/10 on administration of show
8/10 attendance and interest of our product.

Now its on to NTOA next weekend, Anyone going from NC and wants a ride, just yell at me

It happened to me, a cautionary tale about Cree lights

2009-09-01T16:13:00.001-07:00

So, a few weeks ago I bought some very High tech teeny tiny flashlights that had just come out. they are a tad bit larger than the AAA battery that powers them and they put out 62 LM for 48 mins, same light as the 1st surefire 6P models, you also can have 18lms for 4 hours or 1.5 for 48 hours. Looked well built, nice pocket clip and great light output. Took them to the trade show, even sold a few to some of the flashlight guys and others that had never seen them before.
Now, last night, it is a week later to when I got back, I am in the office at the house, "She who will be obeyed" (My significant other) is in the dining room on her lap top , about 70' away from me. I hear what sounds like a 22 magnum pop off, very loud sharp crack. I jump up and head down the hall to meet her coming towards me asking "what the hell did you do" Both of us were perplexed as to what made the noise, then proceeded to search the house for the culprit.
After 45 mins I look at the table in the dining room and saw that it looked like the surface had been covered with glitter, I picked up the flashlight and noticed that the lens was missing and the "glitter" I saw was glass particles.
The light was in the off position, and I was using an alkaline battery, as per the instructions.
could have been worse I guess, but still not a good thing. The flashlight uses a Cree xp-e Q5. I contacted the maker and they have never heard of this happening, I also called a friend who is one of the top flashlight designers in the US and he has never heard of it either. very strange happenings.
I am sending the damaged light back to the company, and another one I have to be tested by another company to see why this happened.
If you are running a flashlight with a Cree emitter, take care and watch out
I will update this when I have the reports back. I do not want to give the company name out until I hear back from them, hopefully this is a one time freak occurrence.

UPDATE 10/23/09
I received my light back last week. No note, no explanation or even a "kiss my butt" post it note in the envelope.

Back from TREXPO

2009-08-24T20:03:00.000-07:00

Great show, long week. Will file an after action report on the show after I get over the obligatory "after show sick days". Seems like it happens at least two shows a year, I get home and have a case of the flu/cold. Too much hand shaking I guess. Better it happens here than at the show though. I have had that happen twice in the past 5 years, it is never fun.

What ever can go wrong, will

2009-08-14T21:19:00.000-07:00

Well, we are about 3 days out from leaving for TREXPO and very little is going right.

The search for grid wall for the booth has been a minor disaster, driving all over both Austin TX and Greensboro NC and being shafted at every point. Hope some can be found on Monday!

Numerous orders for parts and inventory for the show have come in with the wrong items, or have not come at all.

All an all, I would say that's it's just par for the course. If it all went like clockwork, I would be very scared!

This ever happen to you?

Law Enforcement Convention Theft

April 9, 2009

By Musca Law on April 9, 2009 10:11 PM | Permalink

The Tampa Bay area hosted a law enforcement conference this week at the Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Law Enforcement Executive Development Conference drew police officials from throughout the country, as well as a variety of vendors selling wares targeted at the law enforcement community.

When one of the vendors reported that some of its merchandise had gone missing, Tampa police were surprised. After all, who would steal t-shirts and jackets emblazoned with the conference logo from a location crawling with police? Apparently, the answer is one of their own.

The Tampa police department reviewed surveillance films taken overnight at the conference after the vendor reported the stolen items. What they found surprised them: images of Jim Spencer, 60, taking items from the vendor.

Spencer is a civilian reserve officer, who is reportedly well-liked and respected within the agency. He did not have a disciplinary record with the agency, but was relieved of his duties and is facing criminal charges in connection with the theft. Spencer's colleagues said that he typically volunteers about 12 hours each month in addition to his regular duties.

"It's just an enormous embarrassment and disappointment to the department, and not representative of the other men and women working here," Tampa police spokesperson Laura McElroy told reporters. The police chief personally apologized to the vendor for the problem. Additionally, Spencer has been contrite and immediately returned the stolen goods when confronted. "He was very apologetic," Elroy said of Spencer's demeanor after his police interview about the stolen goods.

Tampa police are continuing to review all segments of the film, because they believe that additional items were stolen by another culprit. Spencer took several items while working at the conference overnight, but it was not clear when the other merchandise disappeared.

I have lost some items over the years, the most expense being a camera, and the most worrisome being a handgun! I always put it down to the cleaning crew taking it, you just never know.

Do you lock down all your items at night? Up until now i have just thrown a cover over the table and took off, it being the end of a long day and all. I might change that thinking though.

Then again, I have lost over 3000.00 worth of stock and personal items due to flying into the shows, TSA or baggage, who knows, They were there when I packed them, just didn't make it in my luggage to the show.

What makes a "good" show?

2009-08-11T20:06:00.001-07:00

That's a question that I am asked all the time, "was it a good show", " how was the show?"

It"s a hard question to answer sometimes. Some of the crappiest shows I have attended have brought forth fruit 3 months later when I was not even expecting it. Some of the "best" shows have fallen flat with nothing to show out of them.

How do you rate a show? If you write orders at the show it very easy to do, except for SHOT, I have never really done that much. Is it the number of cards you get? My last job graded my performance that way.

Some of the shows I had the most enjoyable time at were also the worst for sales, it's hell not to go back to those, but money talks as they say.

The shows that stand out as both well run and fun follow
Number one is the Mock Riot in WV, I always seem to get hurt somehow when I am there but it's always a good time and profitable for whomever I am representing.
Runners up in no particular order would be Trexpo East, Ileeta, Texas Tactical, AJA and NAAWS.

Shows that stand out as being a waste of time and money for the products I have sold in the past, IACP, National Sheriffs show, ACA and a few others that I wont even speak of!

The local, regional shows have also been fantastic, NC, SC and so others have been well worth the money spent. You can also do alright at the shows in Louisville, even if the show sucks you should still have a great time as that is one of the friendliest places I have been to, second only to Moundsville WV.

I have not made it west of the Mississippi too much, 5 or 6 out that way (besides Vegas, that is a place that should be on another planet) would love to hear some feedback on the "Left Coast" shows!

Trade show footwear

2009-08-11T20:05:00.002-07:00

Has anyone found the ultimate footwear for the trade show vendor?
I started out back in the day when everyone wore "business wear" (suits) at the shows.
At that time, a nice pair of Florsheim's were you best choice.
As the years went on I started wearing a more relaxed style of "business tactical" wear.
A friend from the FBI academy showed me a pair of Royal Robbins rock climbing pants and after I bought my first pair I was sold forever. I paired it up with a set of the then popular GSG-9 boots and a embroidered polo and was good to go. Of course those wore out about every 6 months and were not inexpensive boots, but hey, I was cool!
For the past few years I have been ( like many of us) a walking 5.11 ad, so when I had to replace my last pair of my Rainer responders, a super boot by the way, I bought a mid 5.11 zipper boot.
Off to the Chiefs show in New Orleans I went, and proceed to walk more miles than I ever had, even at the last 10 SHOT shows. I was crippled from those boots for almost 3 weeks when I got back to NC. They had a very long break in time, but I have worn then up till a month ago and have only discarded then now because the scuff guards started cracking.
I now have 3 new sets to take up to VA, the Converse, a pair of knock off Converse's and a pair of Oakleys.
Only a two day show, but I have some follow up work to do in Jersey (AHHHHH) I will let you know.
Anyone have any others I should try?
When I find the best, I will buy 6 pairs, that should hold me till I die, or I get out of the gun bizz.
