Friday, June 22, 2007 Exhibitors prefer mileage than sales By Carlo P. Mallo
EXHIBITORS of the Food Processing and Packaging Technology Expo 2007 (FPP) value more mileage in promotion of their products than actual sales.
Bringing in the latest technology and having the potential buyers actually feel them and see their mechanisms is the best way to entice buyers close future deals, a FPP organizer claimed.
One exhibitor, Innoprocess Enterprise sales supervisor Arwin Bartolome Thursday said it is in making sure that the major players in the food processing industry is aware of the presence of the company and the products that we can cater to them.
"Also, it is not bad to have sales right now on the floor," Bartolome added.
Another exhibitor, Davao-based Farma Plastic Products Incorporated also participated in the event for the very same reasons.
Elma Sorongon, production controller of the company, asserted there was a significant increase in their number of sales after they participated in last year's FPP.
"Last year yielded very wonderful results for us, that is why we are here again," Sorongon said.
The FPP continues to experience an overwhelming number of visitors as it enters its third day today. Despite the threats and an air conditioner glitch, that was repaired just in time, the organizers and exhibitors are more than satisfied with the results.
