goWholesale and ASD/AMD Merchandise Group Partner to Provide Enhanced Technology Services for Tradeshow Exhibitors and Attendees

Posted on: Monday, 30 January 2006, 12:00 CST

goWholesale, a division of Liquidity Services, Inc. (LSI), today announced its partnership as the exclusive search engine technology provider for the ASD/AMD Merchandise Group, a division of VNU Expositions, Inc. Through the agreement, goWholesale has created a searchable, online exhibitor directory that will better enable tradeshow attendees to identify and locate exhibitors and improve efficiency for sourcing wholesale merchandise at the ASD/AMD tradeshows. The directory is accessible from the ASD/AMD Trade Shows' Web site, www.merchandisegroup.com, and premieres this week in support of the upcoming ASD/AMD Trade Show-Las Vegas, March 5-9, 2006, the largest variety and general merchandise tradeshow in the United States.

This online directory enables attendees to locate exhibitors by keyword or company name and then store selected exhibitors and their booth information in an online "My Exhibitor List." The list can then be sorted by category, show site and floor level, and printed out to serve as a tool for creating an efficient roadmap for navigating the tradeshow floor.

"We have more than 8,000 booths, representing 3,700 companies selling merchandise in all price points and categories," said Howard Friedman, Show Director for the ASD/AMD Merchandise Group. "By providing our attendees with a powerful and easy-to-use searchable exhibitor directory, we are empowering them to get the most out of the show by simplifying the entire search process and streamlining their actual show experience."

goWholesale also used its proprietary technology to provide a paid premium directory listing option that allows exhibitors at ASD/AMD shows to increase their company's visibility within the searchable database. Exhibitors can manage and edit premium listings using an online tool built by goWholesale.

"Generating high visibility at the ASD/AMD shows is critical for exhibiting companies that are seeking buyers to meet annual sales goals," said Asad Haroon, General Manager of goWholesale. "Our partnership with ASD/AMD leverages our cutting edge search technology to assist sellers and buyers in connecting online."

The online directory will also be available at Internet Cafes at the ASD/AMD Trade Show-Las Vegas March 5-9, 2006 located in the Sands Convention Center and in the Las Vegas Convention Center. goWholesale is the sponsor of the Internet Cafes.
