More than 1,400 retailers have already registered to attend our Natural Products Marketplace Virtual Event, the industry's first all-online trade show set for Sept 14-15. And, with about a month to go before the event, look for that number to keep going up. The Virtual Event features an exhibit hall, seminars, and live networking and messaging. Exhibitors are offering show specials, samples, product information, contests and more. And all of it is free for retailers.

There is still time to reserve a booth and be a part of this game-changing event. Imagine the return on investment if you can interact live with a large group of retailers without having to travel, ship anything, pay for hotels, print materials, etc. For details on exhibiting, click here. There is even a short "Exhibitor Orientation" video on that page that shows you how the Virtual Event works.

Sponsors include Nature's Plus, Peter Gilham's Natural Vitality, Seventh Generation, Better Nutrition magazine, and Living Naturally. Additional exhibitors include Membrell, J.R. Carlson, Doctor's Best, Natural Factors, Good N Natural, Ridgecrest Herbals, EuroPharma, Fungi Perfecti, Clear Products, Arthur Andrew Medical, Palko Services, Super Natural Distributors, OneBode, All American Pharmaceutical, Viva Vitamins, Wellements, Lily of the Desert, UAS Laboratories, Oregon Algae, Biotivia, Randal Optimal Nutrients, Hobe Labs and more.

In addition to show specials, samples, product information and live discussions, retailers can also attend the free seminar program at the show that includes presentations from Mark Blumenthal, Michael Murray, Anthony Young, Dr. Hyla Cass, Dr. Carolyn Dean, and more.

Among the 1400+ retailers already registered are buyers and decision makers from hundreds of independent stores, as well as from GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods Market, Super Supplements, Vitamin World, Hi Health and more. And the retailers I have talked with are very excited.

So, act now to be a part of this first ever online natural products trade show. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at 480-990-1101 ext 1108 or drop me an email at jonb@vpico.com. You really don't want to miss this.
