What are your expectations for G2E 2011?
We had a big response from people this year due to pre-marketing and the G2E website. As a result, we are expecting a large increase in traffic. At G2E 2011, we want to present our new product offerings, service our worldwide clients, and find new perspective clients.
What will the company's participation consist of?
We are always researching the newest techniques and raw materials available, so that our products are stylish, durable and functional. With that in mind, we want to educate our clients on ways they can save money and increase their customer retention by making an informed decision about the products they are purchasing. Because we have a larger booth this year, we will be able to showcase an expanded product list.
Do you believe that the change of date and venue will be beneficial?
Yes. With the show dates being further away from the start of the holidays, I believe it should generate more traffic.
How did you see the global gaming industry during this year?
Even with the economic challenges, it seems like revenues are up in all regions, especially in the Latin/South American markets. Due to this growth, we are expecting a lot of new attendees from that region and hopeful about seeing an increase in inquiries and sales.
What has been the performance of the company's target markets?
We have seen worldwide growth, especially in Mexico and the Latin/South American markets. To further increase out outreach and presence in these markets, we have brought in a new sales rep. We have also seen increased interest from the European market after attending the London Gaming Expo.
How does the economic crisis in U.S. and Europe affect the gaming industry?
Like most, we have felt the effects of the economic crisis in the US and Europe. Despite that, we have still managed to increase our customer base. We know that companies are more cautious abut how and where they are spend their money, so we try to offer high quality, long-lasting products, so that our customers feel they have made a worthwhile investment.
What are the perspectives for 2012?
We have high expectations for 2012. We have exceeded our growth expectations and will continue efforts to expand our presence in the global market.
