Premium
Incentive
Show
Imagine the world's largest de-
partment store: four floors packed
with every premiu.m product im-
aginable! Everything from air travel
programs to mopeds to watches.
Frisbee and cooking demonstra-
tions, models showing excercise
equipment, and even Wonder
Woman handing out brochure pack-
ages. Manufacturers and distri-
butors everywhere trying to stimu-
late buyers' interest in their pro-
ducts for use as premium and in-
centive items. This best describes
the PREMIUM INCENTIVE SHOW
that was held in New York City on
May 5th thru 8th.
Atari was in the middle of all of
this activity, probably creating
more excitement than,g3,ny other ex-
hibit, in an effort to broaden the
potential market for our games and
to help promote the positive image
of our industry.
We shared a booth with Atari's
Consumer Games Division during
the show. Each day we saw many
new faces, along with the people
who came by faithfully every day of
the show to play ATARI SOCCER'™,
FOOTBALL'™, and ASTEROIDS'™.
Atari hopes to show coin-operated
games at more consumer and other
trade oriented shows in the future.
In this way we will promote more
awareness of coin-operated games
and help develop new markets for
our products.
