Bringing the ABC Kids Expo to YOU

Amy — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 05:18:57 +0000

I was all pumped to go to Vegas next week for the annual ABC Kids Expo. I have had this planned since last year. If you know me, you know how much I love the evolving world of parenting and kid’s products. As it turns out, I’m unable to attend.

Since I’m staying behind, Eric and I are going to host our own little “Virtual Expo” right here. If we can’t be there physically, we can still promote the fine exhibitors who are going to make their appearance next week. Shouldn’t we all get a sneak peak at what is to come?

So, consider this your “heads up”. Next week, all week, we will feature dozens of companies and products that are up and coming. You’ll have your shot at winning some fabulous prizes and take advantage of special discounts.

We will “virtually” walk through the ABC Kids Expo, going from booth to virtual booth, getting a little glimpse at the companies in attendance.

Hope you’ll join us! Follow us on Twitter for continuous updates brought to you straight from the show. Subscribe to our feed via email and have our Virtual Expo posts delivered straight to your inbox so you’ll know first-hand when there is a new giveaway posted.

Yeah, I would rather be in Vegas too but look on the bright side, you don’t have to worry about getting any blisters when you attend our Virtual Expo. Next week, my brain will be on boutique product overload.
