Equipment Financing for Videographers Going to WEVA EXPO 2006 Tops Half-Million Mark
August 04, 2006
Sarasota, FL - “Equipment financing approvals for videographers going to the WEVA EXPO Trade Show has now surpassed a half a million dollars,” said Bob Bell President of ILA, the company sponsoring the Equipment Financing Program for WEVA members going to WEVA EXPO 2006 August 21-24 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV. “We are continuing to receive online applications from WEVA members and keeping to our turnaround time of about 24 hours,” he added.
“Over half a million dollars already pre-approved for videographers to spend at WEVA EXPO 2006 speaks for itself. Wedding and event videographers are not only coming en mass to Wedding & Event Video Expo 2006 they are coming to the Trade Show to buy the products and accessories they need to keep their business competitive and in demand,” said Dan Argenas WEVA International’s Director of Association Communications.
“The Financing Program, brand new this year, shows WEVA’s strategic initiatives at work on behalf of our members. WEVA International is the only organization in pro video to have arranged an exclusive Trade Show Financing Program for show attendees,” Argenas said.
Activated earlier this summer, the program and its application process has already received high marks from WEVA members for its ease of online use and access. “It was a simple process to get approved. I was not required to jump through a ring of fire,” said WEVA International member Chuck Bengele of Video Visions Unlimited, Inc., who will be traveling to WEVA EXPO 2006 from Florida.
Giving Videographers A Competitive Edge
The EXPO Equipment Financing Program (EFP) makes it possible for videographers to go to the Trade Show knowing they already have funds in hand to make purchases that can help their business achieve greater success.
The new program offers videographers a convenient alternative to high-interest credit card payments, and to complex requirements often involved with bank loans. ILA’s EXPO Equipment Financing Program, said Bell, offers advantages that include:.
* Up to $100,000 for equipment acquisition with application only (no tax returns or financial statements required) with competitive rates.
* Show WEVA EXPO 2006 exhibitors your “pre-approved” EFP card and take advantage of the excellent “EXPO Only” specials at the Trade Show by being pre-approved.
* Special rebate for WEVA International members only, equal to 2% of the equipment cost (maximum rebate is $1,000).
* Unlike putting new equipment on a credit card or bank loan, the EFP advantage does not affect your credit scores or ratios.
* Trade Show Example: With the EFP advantage, a new high-definition camcorder can be purchased for less than $200 a month.
* Most EFP applications are processed within 24 hours.
ILA has provided videographers with an instant, online monthly payment calculator to assist in the budgeting for videography equipment needs. To access ILA’s secure monthly calculator - Click Here.
