Team Braxton-Bragg had a very busy time at their booth at the recent trade show in Las Vegas. With so many new and popular products to demonstrate, the Company representatives had their hands full.
"My favorite part of being at the booth is getting to see our customers face-to-face," said Steve Bussell, Products Manager. "I feel that our patrons are like friends, and it's great to be there to help our friends get the best deals and the best products for their needs." The five ambassadors included Rich Hassert, company CEO, as well as Bill Hickey, Ken Brock, and Stacie Wingo, representing the Slippery Rock Gazette.
Among the many products being exhibited at the Braxton-Bragg booth was the Tomahawk Stone Splitter. Displayed on a cobblestone base created by the Tomahawk itself, it was demonstrated by the inventor, Louwrens Mulder. Not only did he show how the machine functioned, the company representatives revealed the money-making abilities of such a device, which takes scrap stone and turns it into shaped pieces ready to use for floors and walls. The Tomahawk Stone Splitter got a lot of use at the Trade Show!
Also, the new Polishing Pro System was demonstrated by inventor Steve Anneker: this innovative set of products can completely remove scratches from stone countertops. Many attendees were interested in how this system could help save a damaged install.
Many fabricators greatly dislike bowl hole cutting; Braxton-Bragg arranged to show at their booth how the Oma Antarex could make cutting and initial edge finishing of templated sink cutouts much easier. They also demonstrated Spray & Set, an aerosol tile adhesive for easy wall tile installation. Fabricators and installers found the Rotozip Tile Dock and the EZ Dishwasher Bracket demonstrations to be very useful as well.
Along with several regular product demonstrations, the BB Team also ran interactive demonstrations, letting attendees get their "hands dirty" trying products like the "G-Clip" undermount sink mounting system, the Hercules® EZ Level, which allows the installer to micro-adjust stone sections, and the Omni Cubed Pro Anchor, a new machine which cuts perfect anchor holes. Lucky attendees got to don an SME Slab Belt and try their hand at lifting a heavy slab without wrenching their arms. Along with the free Wood's Shims, which could be ordered at the booth, many other free products were distributed to attendees. The Hercules® Sink Harness was displayed, and visitors to the booth went away with a free fullsized sample. The EZ Dishwasher Bracket was also a popular giveaway, as well as the new Hercules® EZ Level.
The new graphics displayed at the booth showed the latest additions to the BraxtonBragg line to their best advantage. This assisted the team greatly in getting the message across that Braxton-Bragg is Better! Faster! Cheaper! With so much going on, Team Braxton-Bragg certainly had no time to sit back and relax. But there was a real feeling of accomplishment when the show was over; the company representatives knew that their booth visitors had left with a greater knowledge of how these new products could improve their businesses, bring greater profit, and make their jobs a little bit easier.
