Editorial – Exxxotica

We are making our plans this week for a NEW SHOW scheduled for the City of Chicago
It’s called Exxxtacy2010 and it’s planned for July 16-18, 2010.  That’s only 2 months from now!
This is a brand new CONSUMER Show.  You need to note that every time a consumer show first comes to a city, it is PACKED, since it’s highlighted by all the local, and sometimes national, NEWS stations.  And, if you know anything about the people of Chicago, you know they are very open-minded.  The greater Chicago area is absolutely huge, and this show has the potential to be a fantastic success.  The question is, are you going to be part of it?  Well, we’re making flight plans this week, and there is one thing that makes us really happy, the show is 5 minutes from Chicago’s O’hare Airport; a super short cab ride!  If you have adult products, services, or website, log on to Exxxtacy2010 and then give them a call.  This is the time to secure a booth.  In polling some of the attendees at Exxxotica in Miami Beach this past weekend, many are planning to exhibit at this new Chicago expo.  There is no better time than right now to make plans.

3 Days to Exxxotica – Updates on Cybernet, Exxxxtacy2010 & SWINGFEST!

On Friday afternoon at 4:00pm, the doors open at ExxxoticaMiamiBeach.  Thousands upon thousands of consumers will crowd the Miami Convention Center this weekend, as they do annually for this event.  If you are a last minute planner, TODAY is your final opportunity to get your staff’s butts into a booth, so they can sell and improve your bottom line.  Jay Handy and his crew will answer the phones today, and try to help you out.  No promises, but they are a great group to work with, and the flights are easy to arrange into Miami.  Knowing them, they will scuffle around to do what they can for you.  We will be there at our booth in the 800 isle.  Stop by and say hello!  

Website TRAFFIC is Free
We are always surprised when people get skeptical over the term FREE TRAFFIC, especially when we talk about RateXpics and AdultList.  The fact is, every webmaster who has a free account on RateXpics, posting links to up to 30 hot pictures, gets absolutely free traffic to their website. The same goes for posting a free listing on AdultList.com.  The sites get 40,000+ displays a day, and the traffic is sent to the webmasters that use the site for free.  If you do not have accounts on these traffic sites, it only takes a couple of minutes to activate these accounts, and they are both Free of charge, with the free traffic going directly to your website. 

Cybernet Expo opens on July 8-10, 2010 in beautiful San Francisco, California.  This is a WEBMASTER SHOW and a great venue to meet adult website owners.  The guys who run this show know exactly what they are doing to ensure that you meet virtually everyone, face-to-face.  One evening, they have all the exhibitors in a huge room at separate tables.  On the tables are FREEBEES, drawing everyone into the huge conference room.  When the evening event is over, there is no quick exit.  It is a fun night where everyone does business!  If you really need to meet webmasters, give Cybernet a shot.  We at AdultChamber highly recommend this show.

A NEW SHOW for the Windy City:
Exxxtacy2010 – July 16-18, 2010 – Chicago, Illinois
This is a brand new CONSUMER SHOW for the City of Chicago.  You need to take notice that EVERY TIME a new consumer show comes to a city, it is PACKED.  If you know anything about the people of Chicago, you know they are very open-minded.  The greater Chicago area is huge, and this show WILL DEFINITELY be a success.  The question is, are you going to be part of it?  We are!   NOW is the time to contact the management and secure your booth space.  If you continue to visit their website, you will see the ever-growing list of exhibitors. Get on this list and join us at Exxxtacy2010. 

A TOTALLY DIFFERENT Consumer Show:
SwingFest Expo – July 22-25, 2010 – Orlando, Florida
Most business people do not understand SwingFest when it comes to doing business. It happens to be one of the easiest of all shows to attend.  We have been attending SwingFest for years and we return for one reason, we write new business and we watch others sell their products. This is a niche, upscale, #10 on the open-minded list market, where thousands of couple gather to party hardy, with cash in their pockets.  They buy expensive erotic vacations, toys and more toys, Lubes and Lotions, and sexy apparel.  They join contact websites, and spend lots of money on the net.  It sure does not get easier then to fly into Orlando, Florida.  This is a business show that you can combine with a family visit to Disney.  It’s an easy show to work. 

Here are other shows we will soon be explaining in more detail: 

Industry Webmaster Expo:Asia Adult Expo – August 20-22, 2010 – Macau (Hong Kong)
Start thinking about attending this very popular INDUSTRY SHOW.  It will open doors to your exposure in the Orient.  If you never marketed in the orient, the people who run the Asia Adult Expo will show you the ropes.  Give this show some very serious thought. 

AdultEntertainmentExpo – January 6-9, 2011 – Las Vegas, Nevada
This remains the #1 CONSUMER SHOW of all time!  If you exhibit at any show, AEE is the one to attend.  Simply put, there is nothing like it!

The Economy is improving for everyone, including all of us in the online business world.  And, I can prove it!

Yesterday, I returned on the red-eye from Adultcon in Los Angeles, California.  I was there with Diamond Jackson, one of our web development clients who was there to work the show to increase her website membership base.  There wasn’t a single exhibitor who complained about the size of crowd, and the cash the crowd had available to spend, at the expo.  Heck, they did not have time to complain, even if they wanted to… The show was packed from the moment the doors opened!  Seriously, the place was crowded the entire weekend!  I returned on the same flight as Diamond Jackson and her security, and everyone was exhausted.  Clearly the show was terrific, and a clear indicator that the economy is improving for us.

In exactly one month, ExxxoticaMiamiBeach will open its doors.  If you miss ExxxoticaMiamiBeach on May 14-16, you will be missing out on significant exposure at an absolutely beautiful expo.  

You alone have complete control over your businesses future and success.  Adultcon was a crystal clear indicator that the economy is improving and ExxxoticaMiamiBeach will have many exhibitors who were also at the Adultcon show.  Why?  They know they wrote orders, sold products, and added memberships to their websites.  It is our job at AdultChamber to make you aware of business opportunities.

When you exhibit at this very busy adult consumer show, you will be meeting people who live in Florida, and those with pockets full of vacation dollars.  A huge number of people vacationing in South Beach will stop by this adult show at the local convention center.  It’s walking distance from the beach.  You and your company will be exposed to some of the most open-minded people on the planet. The show is held at the beautiful Miami Beach Convention Center, located right in South Beach.  You’ll be exhibiting before 20,000+ people, as they walk by your booth, non-stop, all weekend.  We at AdultChamber provide professional web development services, and website updating.  For this reason, we exhibit at ExxxoticaMiamiBeach .  Every time we’re there we sign new accounts, and our exposure at the show continues to generate business throughout the year.  If you have an adult membership site, an adult product, or a service, ExxxoticaMiamiBeach is a great show to make tons of contacts.

You have a full month to do only 60 minutes of planning.  That is all the time it took us to secure our booth, make hotel reservations, and more.  Transportation from the Miami International Airport (MIA) is easy.  Hotels are abundant, the nightlife is fantastic, and the beaches are to die for… J. Handy and his staff are standing by to answer all your questions.  Tell them you know the guys at AdultChamber, and see if you can work out a deal for a booth.  Contact them at jhandy@vtshows.com, or by telephone at 1.215.462.8800.  The staff at Exxxotica are super friendly, and they are known to bend over backwards for their exhibitors.

And then there are these future show to seriously consider:

This is a WEBMASTER SHOW and a great venue to meet adult website owners.

Exxxtacy2010 – July 16-18, 2010 – Chicago, Illinois

Last week I told you about Adultcon, ExxxoticaMiamiBeach, and the Asia Adult Expo, so you can acquire many new customers.

Now, I want you to consider exhibiting at these shows, since they have different audiences:

Cybernet Expo – July 8-10, 2010 – San Francisco, California
This is a Webmaster Show that has endured over the years.  It draws a very strong crowd of devoted attendees; all adult website owners and companies that want to reach the very sincere, business oriented, adult webmaster and website owner.  Cybernet is a lot of fun to attend.  The atmosphere is very comfortable and by the end of the show, everyone leaves with business contacts.  At one point during the show, every vendor stands at a table in a huge open room, with FREEBEES.  Every exhibitor must give something away and the result is, EVERYONE attending the show comes and talks to every vendor.  Believe me when I tell you that those who talk about their affiliate programs leave with new affiliate signups that tend to stand the test of time.  Those who have merchant processing services, get to pitch their service directly to the interested webmaster.  This is a cool show to attend and it is not expensive.  They will have the details on their website shortly.  It’s a show to really think about attending;

Exxxtacy2010 – July 16-18, 2010 – Chicago, Illinois
This is a brand new CONSUMER SHOW for the City of Chicago.  It is already starting to become the talk of the town.  How do we know?  The morning radio stations are bringing it up to the commuters; “A Sex Expo is coming to downtown Chicago“.   You may want to log into this website and secure a booth.  I don’t think there is a doubt in anyone’s mind that the summer heat in Chicago will bring out tens of thousands of people to this new Sex Consumer Show.  If you want to become one of the founding exhibitors, contact them soon;

SwingFest Expo – July 22-25, 2010 – Orlando, Florida
Every year, literally hundreds of couples gather to attend a Weekend Swinger’s Party, at a hotel secured by SwingFest.  This is not a super crowded show, BUT, everyone who attends is there with pockets full of money, and very open minds.  The couples who attend SwingFest are all, financially comfortable.  Last year, it was held in Miami.  This year, it will be in Orlando, drawing more people.  Last year AdultChamber attended the show and although we did not leave with piles of business cards, we did leave with two new clients that we have been working with ever since the show.  There is no question that SwingFest proved to be a wise decision for us to attend.  The group at SwingFest make it really easy to exhibit and interact with the attendees.  AdultChamber will be there, and you should give this some serious thought, bringing your family to Orlando while you work a few hours making new business contacts.  Log on to their website and make the call to secure your presence;

Asia Adult Expo – August 20-22, 2010 – Macau (Hong Kong)
Start thinking about attending this very popular consumer show.  The people at the Asia Adult Expo want to make it easy for you to bring your website, product or service to the Orient.  They will talk to you about everything you need to know.  But keep in mind, the people who attend the Asia Adult Expo have money to spend, are extremely open-minded, and are searching for new ideas, fresh visual images, and fantasy experiences.  The Asia Adult Expo delivers to both the desires of the attendee, and to the exhibitor.  Interested in attending?  To get a feel for this show, visit their website.  Contact them for details.  Give this show some very serious thought;

AdultEntertainmentExpo – January 6-9, 2011 – Las Vegas, Nevada
Is it too early to bring up the AVN/AEE Show?  NOPE!  We were there right before InterNext, and it was HOT!  The AEE show was at the beginning of January.  It is now March, and we are still going through the leads from the show.  When you plan early to attend AEE, you get the best booth location selections. This is the time to plan for January 2011.  This is the show that you should always have on your Expo List.  This is AEE!

Doing more Business – Shows to Seriously Consider for 2010

This year will be better than 2009 if focus is given on acquiring new customers. What it takes is the exposure of your website, product or service to tens-of-thousands of people who walk by your booth, people who go out of their way to meet face-to-face.  If you say “been there, done that“, you will definitely miss out the best promotion in the world; face-to-face contact with the buyer.

The competition is at these shows.  We at AdultChamber attend many of these shows, opening up new markets for us, and so far, always leaving with positive results.  For us, and those webmasters who take our suggestions seriously to promote at these shows, we make immediate sales as well as bringing home enough leads to keep us busy for months to come.

Here are some shows we recommend you seriously consider. I tried my best to give you a description from a more personal point of view.

Adultcon – April 9-11, 2010 – Los Angeles, California
Here is a show that gets a massive number of adult consumers, numbers into the tens of thousands.  It is not a small show, or even an average show.  This is Adultcon, and it is very popular.  It attracts adult consumers from the greater Los Angeles area; one of the most populated cities in the U.S.   It is held at the L.A. Convention Center, and the show is ALIVE with action.  For those who have the smallest of booths at the show, the traffic never seems to stop.  This is a show that attracts real buyers!  Air fares into Los Angeles, from anywhere in the world, is relatively inexpensive.  There is a beautiful large Holiday Inn two streets away from the convention center, making it both very comfortable and ultra convenient for exhibitors.   Booth space is priced so you can make a profit, while getting tremendous exposure.  AdultChamber will be attending the show, exhibiting our web development services.  We attended this show before, and we’re returning.  To us, it is well-worth flying from Miami to Los Angeles.  Need I say more?  This is Adultcon; one of the more popular shows on the west coast of the U.S.  If you want to talk about the possibility of exhibiting, time is running short.  The show opens on April 9th, enough time to plan to attend.  The show is already being advertised in L.A. and as usual, it becomes the talk of the town.  If you e-mail them at Adultcon@Yahoo.com, or call them directly at 1.310.859.6900, they will talk to you about becoming an Adultcon exhibitor;

Now, let’s move 2,800mi (4,500km) from Los Angeles.  Let’s talk about Miami in May!

ExxxoticaMiamiBeach – May 14-16, 2010 – Miami Beach, Florida
Bring your significant other and visit Miami, as you come to mix business with pleasure.  Get ready to exhibit at a very busy adult consumer show that attracts people who live locally, and those with pockets full of vacation dollars.  Get ready to meet some of the most open-minded people on the planet. The show is at the famous Miami Beach Convention Center, located in South Beach, just a few streets from the spectacular beaches of Miami’s Atlantic Ocean.  Imagine how many contacts you can make with twenty thousand people attending an erotic adult expo, as they walk by your booth, non-stop, all weekend long.  AdultChamber provides professional web development services, and website updating.  We know the benefits of exhibiting at ExxxoticaMiamiBeach.  The show generates business.  If you have an adult membership website, an adult product, or a service, ExxxoticaMiamiBeach is a great show to make tons of contacts.  If you have any doubts this show can work for you, why not contact jhandy@vtshows.com directly. The staff is super friendly.  Oh, one more thing… May in Miami is the best place to be to shake off the winter!

I’ll talk about more upcoming shows in future emails, but I need to bring something to your attention…  It’s a show that will open up a totally fresh new market for you.  It’s a large consumer show in MACAU.  Oh goodness, what is AdultChamber talking about?   Macau is just a ferry ride from Hong Kong. Miss this show and you miss an opportunity of a lifetime:

 Asia Adult Expo – August 20-22, 2010 – Macau (Hong Kong)
Start thinking about attending this very popular consumer show.  Start thinking about bringing your website, product or service to the Orient.  The people who attend the Asia Adult Expo have money to spend, are extremely open-minded, and are searching for new ideas, fresh visual images, and fantasy experiences.  The Asia Adult Expo delivers to both the desires of the attendee, and to the exhibitor.  Interested in attending?  If so, let’s coordinate our attending.  To get a feel for this show, visit their website.  Contact them for details.  Give this show some very serious thought.  More details to follow…
