Best In Show @ The NAMM Show, held Jan. 17–20, in Anaheim, Calif: Winner Bullet Cable Instrument Cables (Small Goods Rule)
If you have ever been to a NAMM show you know what it is like to be overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of products that can be used by musicians and are on display.
As an exhibitor, like Core One Creative is every year (our spot: booth 5499), you do what you can to be remembered. Some companies bring in their artists for signings, some companies use lightly clothed well endowed females to bring the audience into the booth, some use stages and host parties. We set up a living room where artists hang out. Ultimately, we all do what we do in an attempt to be seen and remembered after the show is over by the buyers and attendees who gave us the 30 second pass-by at the show.
On the other hand, getting recognized as the top 39 products in the whole show goes beyond mind blowing. This means that your product stood out and you were the best in show!
Each year a panel of experts are instructed to shop the show on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, pick their favorite companies, products and services, and present their selections in five categories at the Annual Best In Show Sunday breakfast.
2008 judges were: Zach Phillips, editor of Music Inc. and UpBeat Daily magazines; Victor Salazar, general manager/event coordinator for The Drum Pad, Palatine, Ill.; Pete Gamber, owner of Alta Loma Music, Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.; Liane Rockley, co-owner of Rockley Music, Lakewood, Colo.; Ted Eschliman, co-owner of Dietze Music, a three-store chain in Nebraska; and Alan Friedman, gear nut, CPA and partner with Friedman, Kannenberg and Co., West Hartford, Conn.
Core One Creative’s Bullet Cables was selected by Pete Gamber for “Small Goods Rule”.
A photo of the Pistol Cable was shown on the big screen and people in the audience laughed in approval as Pete announced his choice, “Come on — skulls, guns and grenades on the tips of guitar cables. This is cool stuff posing as cable plugs.”
The presentation is one of NAMM’s most popular. There were more than 500 attendees.
