CES from Bob.
I went to the show last Thursday and Friday, the last two days of the show. Most of my time was spent in car audio since the man that sponsored my visit works in that field. We traveled to the south hall on Friday afternoon which was the last day of the show. Now considering that SEVU is a small company, I expected to find if off in the far reaches of the exhibit halls with all of the smaller companies from Asia who are mainly just distributors for the same kind items.
I was surprised walking up stairs to find the booth among many large name brand companies in the home and wireless technology fields. The booth caught my eye pretty quickly with the large yellow sign. It was a smaller simple both that had the Secureview cameras on display. Several were plugged into various TVs and were working. They had the floodlight bulb, the emergency light camera, as well as a regular old camera plugged in for display purposes. Unlike ASIS, I did not see any mention of the parking lot system cameras, but then again this was a consumer show. There were two full color pamphlets handed out as well as some small trinket yellow foam lightbulbs with the company name, telephone number, and that catchy "powerline peace of mind" statement on it. I do not remember what the pamphlets had on them for sure, it was late in MY day after a long night of fun the night before. (Love Vegas!!!) Of the two people I was there with, one was already familiar with the cameras from when I told him about it last January. He has been watching the company and has considered investing. He told me he was suprised by the clarity of the cameras, it was not what he was expecting.
Talked to Mr Bernardich for just a little while. Several people were stopping by asking questions while I was there and I did not want to take him away from his duties. I did not ask about the booth cause I thought it already adequately answered (it was in an area with larger companies.) I told Mr Bernardich that I had heard the first two days had been pretty busy. He corrected me and said they had all had been busy and productive. Now by this time at the show, most vendors seemed very tired after days of getting up early and staying up late. Mr Bernardich seemed energetic and alert, something I hope others noticed too as they stopped by the booth. There were several other employees there that I did not recognize from when I met them at ASIS.
Three things I regret. Would have liked to have spent more time just watching to see what caught most peoples attention and to see what questions they were asking. Also would have liked to seen the other both, RCA, I think or one of the other vendors. Had no time since we were usually in a completely opposite area. Would have also liked to have taken some area pictures to show the simple yet effect booth surrounded by the bigger dogs. Those pictures would have explained much better than I how things were going. Dumbbutt me forgot my camera in the hotel room.
Hopefully SEVU is like my gambling. I lost a bunch my first two nights and bounced back my last eve there. I am still waiting patiently for my last eve here. Everything I see still gives me faith in a promising future.
