May 9, 2008

On May 15, online registration will begin for the next big buying show, PrimeTime! by Nationwide Marketing Group at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 17-20.

“PrimeTime! in Vegas is a must see this year,” said Ed Kelly President of Nationwide Marketing Group, “We are expecting a huge turnout from our vendors, who will be offering bigger savings on a larger selection of brand new product lines.”


During this Primetime! attendees will be given an All Access Pass to vendor one-on-ones, group meetings, presentations from industry leaders as well as an opportunity to attend PrimeTime! University (PTU). PTU are educational seminars held at the show on industry-focused topics tailored specifically for the independent retail dealer.

One of the most popular draws to PrimeTime! is Cash Back Now. Cash Back is an opportunity to save millions of dollars off merchandise priced exclusively for PrimeTime! All Cash Back rebates can be redeemed at the show – no waiting, no long lines, no hassle.

We get stronger, bigger and better with every show and Vegas will be no exception. Everyone who attends PrimeTime! has an All Access Pass to the tools needed to compete in the marketplace - if members need it, you can be sure that PrimeTime! will have it.”

PrimeTime! is held twice a year and is the largest buying group show for independent electronic, appliance and furniture member dealers. This PrimeTime! will fill 250,000 square feet of showroom floor space in the premiere Mandalay Bay Resort event center, recognized for numerous convention awards.

“We are looking forward to taking advantage of this premier location. PrimeTime! by Nationwide is growing and a larger space was needed to welcome bigger crowds.”
