Rep Power: 21 | On Firday I talked to a rep from ITA. They were just calling to check up on an employee who had attend last year and was not registered this year. Anyway getting to the point she explained that no tradeshow floor passes are being mailed this year and everyone has to go to registration to pick theirs up. Hello!!! That is so stupid. I asked when they could be picked up and she said Friday is when it opens. So I guess I am to assume we will have to wait in line at registration for a nice long while to get the stupid floor passes! I am going to write a letter to ITA about that one. If there is a how did we do survey please make mention of mailing them instead of standing in line on Friday! I guess if attendence is low it will not be too much of a hassle but if it is anything like the years prior minus Orlando it could be a hassle. See you in line on Friday morning!!! _________________ [ This Message was edited by: PeppermintPatty on 2005-10-01 15:15 ] |

Rep Power: 0 | Quote: From: Pam Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 2:50 PM To: ITAmailbox Subject: registration costs and Sat night party I think it is ridiculous that we have to pay for a party that we will not be attending. This has been a crummy tanning year across the nation and yet you have raised prices and included a function that many will not attend. I participate on the online tanning discussion boards and this is a very sore subject with many owners who are struggling to get to the show for one day or won't be staying through Saturday night or just don't want to go to the party. I hope you reconsider this for next year. Thank you, Pam **************************************** *********** Dear Pam, thank you for comments. We made some changes this year in an effort to set up a program that works best for most people. who? the ITA I appreciate that this is not one that works for you. I will share your comments with the Trade Show committee and they will be a part of our discussion on how to proceed next year. Sincerely, John Overstreet Executive Director ITA Copy of email I sent and the reply I received. It really irritates me to have to pay for a party I won't attend. I would rather spend my money on a nice meal and a few drinks. Of all years for them to pull this........ |

Rep Power: 21 | Talked to someone today and they said that you can pick up ypur passes here on these days during these times. It is frustrating to receive one instruction and then receive a different one 48 hours later! Atleast we do not have to wait until Friday! Good Going Pam!!!!!

Rep Power: 21 | The shows attendance has to be very low. I have been going now for 3 years and never recieved a call. They called and asked if I had planned on attending and when I said not this year they asked why. When I stated, that 1. I just did not have the money and 2. It would be nice for it to be in another city. he stated that they registrations are down. WOW. Hope it wont be another vegas. |

Rep Power: 20 | I spoke to my lotion distrubitor today and she said the attendance is also down, but the are expecting to have more salon owners make larger purchases. How true about larger purchases, I do not know. |
