RECORD NUMBER OF VISITORS AND SALES GENERATED

AT THE PC SHOW 2008

Attractive prices and bargains encouraged consumer spending amidst concerns of rising inflation

Singapore, 17 June 2008 – The 18 th edition of Singapore’s longest running consumer technology show, The PC Show 2008, drew to a close on Sunday with stunning results, having attracting a record number of 1.12 million visitors and generating $51.7 million in sales.

Ms Gillian Loh, project manager, Lines Exposition and Management Services said, “With strong support from over 600 exhibitors and having doubled the floor space at this year’s PC Show, we were confident of exceeding the results achieved last year. Despite possible concerns over higher costs of living with rising inflation, we are pleased that the attractive prices and bundled offers have continued to encourage consumers to purchase the IT products that they need or desire at the show.

“We are thankful to all 1.12 million visitors who made their way to The PC Show 2008 but more importantly, we are grateful to our exhibitors for bringing such great deals to consumers in Singapore year by year. In fact, many of them expressed their intention to rebook at next year’s show by the Saturday!”

Exhibitors – both old and new – commented on the high volume of sales generated, and past exhibitors affirmed that sales were as good as if not better than previous years. Mr Andrew Koh, Director and General Manager of Consumer Imaging & Information Division, Canon Singapore commented, "We were pleased with the huge turnout of visitors to our booth and are happy to report an overall 20% increase in sales generated from this year's show as compared to 2007. As a strong supporter of The PC Show, we look forward to participating in the show again next year."

Mr Michael Primalani, Head of Marketing, Parisilk Electronics & Computers Pte Ltd, a first-time exhibitor at The PC Show, said, “Our focus was to introduce consumers to more environmentally friendly products and those that consume less energy, such as the Sharp LCD TVs. Consumers responded very well to our proposition and we achieved much better results than anticipated, despite the current economic uncertainty. We will definitely be back with more great deals next year.”

Next year’s PC Show will return from 11 to 14 June 2009 at Suntec Singapore.
