Part of our marketing preparations for the COMDEX trade show included publishing the following "interview" in the Trade Show Daily which was distributed throughout the show and at various Las Vegas hotels. As the Marketing Manager, it was my job to compose the questions and the answers for this public relations piece.

COMDEX Interview with Doug Smith,
ThinKware President

(Note: All questions and responses written by James Byfield)

Q: Tell us about ThinKware.
A: ThinKware is North America's leading wholesale distributor of Desk Top Media Production hardware, software and peripherals to dealers and resellers across the continent. Our product line includes computer music, audio, and video products from the industry's top manufacturers.

Q: What are ThinKware's goals at COMDEX this year?
A: As a DTMP distributor, we have two major goals in coming to COMDEX
this year.

Our first goal is to meet and enroll new dealers. COMDEX provides a focal point for the computer community and we want to let dealers everywhere know about the exciting products we distribute. Every day, we receive calls from customers who want to see these products up close, so we feel it is important to help get them on display in as many dealers as possible.

Our second goal is to demonstrate our products to the COMDEX attendees. These are the computer savvy consumers who are looking for new ways to express their creative streak in music. And our desk top media products are the most creative, rewarding and fun products around.

Q: Are you introducing any new products this year?
A: ThinKware is the exclusive wholesale distributor of Roland ED products in North America. This year we are announcing the new Roland ED DV-7 digital video editing system, one box with extensive video and audio recording and editing. It combines the best of computer, audio in and video technologies in one integrated system. It will be demonstrated each day at the Roland ED booth #S3441

Q: Any special message to the dealers and resellers?
A: The ThinKware staff wants to meet every reseller attending COMDEX at the ThinKware and Roland ED booths to see the expanding line of DTMP products.
We have a range of products to meet every level of experience.

If you have a computer store, it's time to get in on the incredible selection of computer music, audio and video products that are available now. The customers are ready, we want to encourage the stores to be there for them with a strong profile of Desk Top Media Production.
