Special T.R.A.F.F.I.C. offer for first timers

Morning folks!!

In our recent survey one of the things you told us is that you want the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show open to more domainers. We always hear if you drop the price it will open the show up to more people. The balancing act is doing that while keeping the quality of the attendee high as well as the service and food we provide. Howard and I decided to find out if this is actually true or not and will run this experiment because  of a one time circumstance at the Orlando show.

In order to get the entire convention center at the Grand Floridian hotel, we were required to reserve more hotel rooms than we were actually going to use. The facility was so good and would allow us to do so many types of new things, we decided we would bite the bullet on those rooms to get that venue. Instead of having those rooms sit empty while we are still paying for them  we decided to try this offer based on your feedback.

Here is the deal:

If you are a domainer that has never been to a T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show because of the expense, Howard and I will pay your hotel room in Orlando to prove what a value TRAFFIC is. We are so sure you will find it to be a turning point in your careers and your business that Howard and I will pay the $269/night exclusive of all taxes and fees and associated room charges at the Grand Floridian for up to 3 nights. That's an incredible offer. This is limited to the first 25 people that reply by midnight Friday, March 14th. This is only available to first time TRAFFIC attendees and is not valid for new personnel of companies, groups or associations that have been to TRAFFIC.  If, when you leave TRAFFIC, you agree that TRAFFIC was a real value and good investment of your time, then we request that you join the ICA at the $295 level. This is completely voluntary on your part, but that is what we ask in return to helping you get to TRAFFIC if, and only if, you find it to have been a great value.

If you have been previously invited, just go register on the website as usual and then send Howard and email telling him you are a first time attendee. He will send you instructions once we coordinate with the hotel. If you need an invite, there is a link right here.

Hope that can make the difference for some. See you all in Orlando!

Have a GREAT Day!
Rick Schwartz

Rick,

This is a great offer, but a bit confusing if your idea is to attract a large crowd of first timers.

25 vacancies for free boarding to build attendence is a very small number, when you look at how large this industry really is and the amount of domainers that have never been to a traffic show. Will 25 new people actually make that much of an impact to attendence?

Very limited, However, also very commendable approach to at least doing your part to help others become successful and see the potential value traffic has to offer.

After all, it is an experiment that will improve I am sure.

Good luck, I am sure it will be sold out by Friday.

that's a great offer Rick!
However,I still need to pay the flight across the atlantic to the US.

and that's a lot for a not-rich-yet domainer like myself!

thanks anyway and keep up the good work for the industry. There are a lot of people behind you guys and this number keeps growing.
my best,

Ritz.

Rick,
I just saw this generous offer...I know it is past the 14th, but if it is still available, please let me know. I am planning to attend the conference for the 1st time either way, but this would help. Thanks.
