No AX booth this year actually. Since we are unsure about the impact of the economy yet, we are spending very wisely. The Olympia last year was a big let down. Very little traffic for a BIG expense. So we are going to pass on the Arnold, see what happens and get back into the shows later in the year.....if things pickup.

With what they say around 165,000 people... kinda hard to believe you wouldnt have heavy traffic. Can I get that care package since you guys will not be there... My AX shirt from last year is a mess along with the beenie.

As much fun as I did yuckin it up and standing alongside a semi-naked hottie stampin necks and heads last year, I see why we've pulled on this one. Though it is great fun, and everyone really has a good time (on both sides of the booth), it's a LOT to do. From our end, there's a lot of people into free stuff that have no idea why. That's fine, it's fun, and the nature of the beast. Then there's the folks from here and across the forums who are users and believers and success stories.
Think of it this way. If we had about $25K to drop on something, would you rather it be done so that you could get a t-shirt alongside a guy who has never seen a gym in his life, or would you rather see yet another great product or two brought to market to help you out more. Personally, I'm all for development of both myself and the brand. Sorry Joe Dirt...you're stuck with another BSN shirt this year. AX is gonna give results instead.

I understand your reasoning, especially with the economy in such a sh*t hole... Glad you are putting the money into products but always nice to try something before I start shelling out my dough for it... as much as you can read logs and such nothing makes someone a believe by trying it for themselves and seeing results.
But nothing beats good publicity and thats whats the arnold expo is... you have so many from all different walks of sport, not just BB. I would have love to seen it scaled down and you guys just of handed out samples of the new SlimXtreme... you know everyone is looking for that one GREAT fat burner... and maybe gotten a hottie to spray people with AXcite kinda like a department stores... Giving out small smaple of AXcell too... Just to promote those new products... then do the normal handouts of your other products... Just saying you guys will be missed at the 2009 Arnold!

Thanks, man. And we'll all miss everyone, too. Eventhough I've only done 1 so far, it was an experience of a lifetime that I'd not trade for anything. There's nothing I love more than seeing people smile, and we definitely did that on a major scale last year. But when it comes down to the business end of things, with the economy as such, I think AX made the right decision for the times. As for samples, we have the StimX and SX available up on our site and have been publicizing that for a while now. AXcell samples may be in the works, but I don't know so don't quote me on that or hold me to it. As for everything else, a sample just won't do much for ya, so we don't have 'em.
But, remember that we always have that 100% guarantee - if you buy it, try it, and don't like it, just send it back! If you can't get a crappy sample that probably won't do much for you in a day or two anyway, this is definitely the next best thing!
