We don't receive donations of any sort for instances of "unhappiness" which is very rare indeed thankfully As anyone can see by our web site we are very successful at our events with the rare exception when weather or acts of God have played a part such as hurricanes etcwhich HAVE affected our event on the East coast.It is a pleasure to respond to Revdex.com complaints when time allows Like all show organizers we are affected by various things and when you throw in the "human factor" we like anyone else cannot please all.Specialized Events, Inc
Although we can appreciate this individual's comments however stretched and inaccurate we are going to respond although briefly due to our staff's workloadOur event was held at the [redacted] site of numerous annual events such as oursIn fact is was one of our exhibitors who recommended this venue As for someone seeking information about this specific event it would have been easily found as we are a highly advertised event locally and nationally on community calendars locally in the [redacted] / [redacted] , [redacted] area in print via Social Media, direct mailing via e-mail and in print with VERY large full color 1/page ads in BOTH The [redacted] Coloradoan and inside the [redacted] Herald Both these ads ran consecutive days on BOTH publications I would have provided copies of invoices however they are at our CPA's offices at the moment since we're at the end of 3rd quarter nowAs for attendance we were also disspointed but we do not guarantee participation nor attendance and all exhibitors/vendors agree to this with their signed exhibitor application We can only go by the previous years attendance which is never an exact duplicate of the following event This is true with ANY event not just our organizations Money was spent on marketing this event that is not mentioned hear as well and this response is brief due to a lack of time We are a very busy organization and we are in the midst of our busiest time of year All photos on our web site are representations of numerous previous shows we have organized We DO NOT appreciate lies, stretches of our efforts or lack thereof by someone such as this individual Thank you for the opportunity to respond.SEI
This individual received their refund and cashed her $refund check on 4/15/ End of Story We continue to believe like MANY BUSINESSES that the Revdex.com DOES NOT support BUSINESS and has turned into a NEGATIVE BLOG This is the reason businesses DO NOT become members of a Revdex.com Even human errors are able to become blown up out of proportion on the Revdex.com Blog so we will NEVER be a supporter NOR much less a MEMBER of such a NEGATIVELY RUN ORGANIZATION This complaint was caused simply by a double booking and two exhibitors were charged and THIS INDIVIDUAL was refunded her booth fee due to the fact that someone else submitted their exhibitor application EARLIER than them That is called a HUMAN ERROR and then being 100% FAIR we simply refunded this individuals $payment, Thank you once again Revdex.com for allowing a human error to create a silly posting on our behalf We will continue to spread the word about how poorly the Revdex.com continues to be operated SK [redacted] 4/19/
I paid over $for a table and chair to be a vendor at this showAs did other vendorsWhen no people showed up at the event we waited and waitedSome of us requested our money back and were denied and were then told if we left early we would be charged another $The man in charge was rude and even made a girl cryI have been to slow shows before, but this company does shows all over the U.S and claims to put on a great show
This individual failed to mention the large banners posted outside the event venue, the THREE Large 1/quarter page newspaper ads placed in the Local Fort Collins [redacted] and the large ads also placed in the [redacted] Reporter In addition a massive ad campaign which is mirrored on [redacted] was conducted by zip code at a very great expense the campaign was for straight days This individual did in fact see the newspaper ads as we had them on display at exhibitor check in In addition ads appeared in several (Over local calendars namely in the [redacted] , [redacted] .Com [redacted] .Com, [redacted] .com, [redacted] .com) etcfor which we can provide receipts if necessary It was also a brand new venue location that we selected Nonetheless in our contracts with exhibitors we do NOT guarantee attendance nor participation It's amazing how this individual neglects to mention WHAT WE DID to promote the event SEI
Thank you for this opportunity to share a personal experience with this company who produces the Women's Day Out Expo Our company sells insurance and relies on consumer shows to get leads for prospective customers The promoter of this show Scott K [redacted] took extraordinary measures to communicate with our organization prior to the event, and aggressively promoted the event we attended at Mesa Convention Center and appears to be extremely savvy when it comes to social media marketing and also conventional marketing We gained over valuable leads at the event we attended on May 7th, and we normally may get 4-at a consumer show so needless to say we were very pleased with the outcome of our company's attendance at the Women's Day Out Expo I just wanted to spread the word about our most favorable experience Thank you for this opportunity from the Revdex.com [redacted]
Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.While I understand SEI's response that the deposit is non-refundable, at the time of transfer I wasn't asking for a refund I was filling a booth FOR HIM! I did the leg work to ensure the booth I had reserved for my company remained filled Without my work, there would not have been a business in that booth and from what I have been told by other attendees he needed it filled!! His response in such a cold-hearted manner is evidence of how he runs his business Shady and unethical It is also representative of how he truly treats his vendors and customers It's no wonder he has such a terrible rating with people through the Revdex.com It won't be long and there won't be any further dealings with this company because continuing to treat your business PARTNERS like he is, nobody will work with him If he would answer his phone or respond to emails and WORK with his clients, things could have been handled MUCH differently The fact that he would not respond to my phone calls and was very rude and cold to any email communication I was able to have with him (he replied ONCE) shows the unethical business practices he is conducting.From an ethical standpoint I would at least think he could (or SHOULD) refund the initial deposit because now he's just making money off of a person who was trying to do the right thing and not hurt HIM!! Poor business, VERY poor business Regards, [redacted] ***
