9/28/2007 | TESTIMONIAL: “Pizza” Paul Nyland, Capital Wholesale Meats, Fontanini Italian Meats and Sausages

We’d not exhibited at NAPICS before 2006, but after seeing the show that year, the company believed there was a good opportunity here. The truth is we got more than we expected in 2007—so much traffic, in fact, that we’ve doubled our booth space for next year. I see NAPICS as being a premier show for us in the future.

7/13/2007 | TESTIMONIAL: Rick Stanbridge, President, Fidelity Communications Corp., a maker of call management systems for pizzerias

This year was a really good show for us. We got to see a lot of new customers and people were spending money. We were very pleased with the quality of attendees and with the traffic. We’ve been coming for about five years now, and we’ve watched the show continue to grow. The pizza industry is doing well now, too, so we think the show reflected that.

I look forward to NAPICS every year because we can bank on getting a quarter million dollars in revenue from the show. For the return on our money, that’s not bad at all. It’s a great investment for us.

This is the second year we’ve exhibited at NAPICS, and we were just blown away. It started off with phenomenal attendance. The aisles were full and our booth was so busy that we sold almost a half-million dollars’ worth of systems in only two days.

PepsiCo has exhibited at NAPICS for the past two years to provide ideas to help restaurants grow their business by broadening their menus and creating combo products.
