Tattoofest, LLC recieves Vernon Galaxy Award

June 1, 2010

Tampa, FL: The 10th Annivesary Tampa Bay Tattoofest was recently awarded a Vernon Company Galaxy Award. The Award recognizes excellence in promotional program planning and execution. Bruce Ripley, of Tattoofest LLC worked with Bonnie Raad of The Vernon Company who helped plan, execute and deliver the event's promotions.
According to Ripley, "Bonnie spent a lot of time finding just the right items to promote the show in a unique manner and commemorate the 10th anniversary." Products included custom mint boxes with four different designs, custom beverage glasses with four different designs, and custom banners to promote the show and guest artists. The result of these efforts was a nearly 40% increase in attendance during a year that most trade shows experienced significant declines in attendance.

When asked about his experience in working with Bonnie and The Vernon Company Ripley stated: "I have ordered custom products from other suppliers in the past and most recently from internet sources. None of these have ever provided the level of customer service that I received from Bonnie. She made sure that all the products were delivered on time and took care of all of the quality aspects of every product including getting pre-production samples and making suggestions to improve the graphic quality when necessary. "

TattooFest, LLC produces and promotes one of the largest and most successful Tattoo events in Tampa, Florida. Since 1999, TattooFest has been held every year in March.
