Our veterinary industry partners talk about the NAVC

See what they have to say about being an NAVC sponsor, exhibitor and/or advertiser.

“It is our pleasure to see such a successful symposium being held year after year and most small vendors like us get great sales results and new leads to follow up. This year Medco received its largest sales order in the last ten years! It was a nice way to say goodbye to the old convention center and look forward to rewarding future sales at the new convention center. The NAVC gave us the platform to meet and promote our products to existing and many new customers. Thanks once again to everyone involved in your organization that spent many exhausted hours to make sure all minor and major details were taken care of, and both attendees and vendors are happy and get their money’s worth. It’s a great experience and everyone returns year after year to make this meeting their favorite one.” – Jeff Jaffary, Medco Instruments

“I have been coming to the NAVC Conference for 4 years, and I’m happy to return to my usual spot at the Marriott in 2015. In my booth, there are typically 4-10 people stopping at all times and when they do stop, they give us 10-12 minutes of their time in which we can interact with them, tell them about our product and teach them about the industry I created.” — Lorraine Walston, Woodrow Wear, LLC

“We launched our veterinary wireless video otoscopes at the NAVC Conference in 2012, and we’ve exhibited each year since. We can’t imagine missing it because it’s where we reach the most veterinary prospects, especially from the international community, and get the best feedback on our features. We find that repetition has served us well. People who came by the first year were reluctant to buy from a new company. But they see us at the NAVC each year and are more confident that we’re here to stay; they’re more comfortable buying from us. You have to be in there for the long haul. We’ve been in the Marriott Exhibit Hall every time and have seen plenty of traffic. We attract interest through our live demos and Q&A, generating orders at the show and afterwards. For a new company in the veterinary business — you have to attend the NAVC. It’s a huge opportunity you cannot miss!” — Kapriel Karagozyan, Firefly Global

“Our NAVC Conference 2014 experience went very well, partly because we increased our sponsorship efforts and also because we capitalized on what NAVC offers its partners. We had 2-1/2 times more traffic in 2014 (over 2013) and about a third of that came from the New Product Gallery, which was a fantastic addition to our efforts. Our sponsored breakfast sessions were also a big hit. They were packed full, giving us additional exposure while also supporting speakers who really helped the Veterinarians. If you discuss your goals with the NAVC, you’ll find great ways to generate quality leads.” — Michael Mockler, Product Manager, Vétoquinol USA

“I have a brand new product nobody’s seen before called ORGreens. Since it’s difficult to build brand recognition, I decided to donate the product for use in the two NAVC Institute surgery courses. By mid-week, many of the participants came to my booth and purchased more ORGreens. I sold more than I gave away, and even better — I got my product line into 87+ hospitals. The event did exactly what I wanted it to do.” — John Donovin, Elite Veterinary Products
