"We're excited to be expanding our customer reach with the Online Lawn and Garden Show," says Steve East, Orgill's Vice President of Advertising. "We hope to introduce a new way for our dealers to see products. Plus have the opportunity to have the most current pricing and assortment available."

Orgill will leverage InXpo's six years of online trade show expertise to help improve show efficiencies, boost sales and increase dealer profit margins through this 100% Internet-based Lawn and Garden show.

At Orgill's recently held record-setting Spring Dealer Market in Orlando, customers were so overwhelmed by the enhancements and additions Orgill made to its Worldwide Sourcing line of Lawn and Garden products, which are sourced directly from the prime manufacturer as a way for its customers to enhance their margins and expand their existing lines, that it made good business sense to create the Online Lawn and Garden Show to highlight these products in a show of their own.

"InXpo is proud to be partnering with Orgill to host and produce their first online Lawn and Garden Show. As an industry leader for its development of innovative retail programs and services, Orgill is once again leading the way in new and innovative ways to reach their customer base. With InXpo's proven track record of generating revenues and creating a successful and engaging show experience for the host distributors, their vendors/suppliers and their dealers alike, this is a win-win for both of us," says Malcolm Lotzof, InXpo's CEO.
