7-Eleven FOAC Show in DuPage is a Huge Success.

May 08, 2009

We were very fortunate to be invited to the 7-Eleven FOAC trade show this week.  Yesterday was a wonderful day.  7_Eleven hosted the best vendors show we have attended.  The show had 100 booths, and every one was taken, and vendors that wanted to be there had to be turned away because the venue at the DuPage Convention Center was large enough to accommodate the demand.

7-Eleven CEO, Joe DePinto was in attendance, and he gave a very positive keynote address.  Not only is NJOY NOW cards on the radar, but other new prepaid products, as well as private label products are coming.  The largest franchisor in the world is 7-Eleven, and they do not stand still.

We had 7-Eleven store owners visit us from all over the country.  NJOY NOW cards are an exciting new product that convenience store customers will be happy to have available.  At home entertainment will not be slowed by a poor economy.  In reality, it will increase.  In fact, Activision has reported quarter one earnings of $981 million, triple same quarter 2008.

We had a lot of traffic at our booth, and couldn't speak with everyone.  We did give out a lot of cards, and have a lot of store owners that want to carry our product.  Faruk Fatehali, owner of the 7-Eleven at 3700 N. Broadway won an NJOY NOW iPod. 

NJOY NOW is looking forward to the upcoming 7-Eleven Charity Golf Outing, at Pheasant run.  The event will be raising money for Chicldren's Memorial Hospital, which holds a special spot in the heart of NJOY NOW, as the GM's wife works there.  7-Eleven has a donated a unit to Children's Memorial.

We are still sorting through all the information we collected.  Feedback has been great, and store sales are improving.  Together with partnerships like this we can begin to project achievable goals for quarter 4 2009, and 2010.  Stay tuned.
