If you’re uncertain about the popularity of consumer electronics in the U.S. and around the world — and we can’t imagine why you would be — spend a day at the annual International Consumer Electronics Show, which is held in Las Vegas each January. The show’s growth over the years has forced its expansion from “merely” filling up the Las Vegas Convention Center, to spilling over into several exhibit halls at nearby casinos. The numbers from CES 2015 are staggering:
• More than 170,000 attendees
• 2.2 million net square feet of exhibit space
• 60,217 exhibitors
• Nearly 7,000 media representatives
Once the exhibit booths are shipped home, everyone scrambles home to tell their colleagues about the next hot item they want.
That’s where you and this product review come in.
Cameras and consumer electronics have long been a favorite among non-cash incentive users and program participants. As an incentive product category, the two categories (with today’s high-tech cameras, they may as well be one category) have many of the features that make for great incentives: a broad range of price points, desirability and popular among men and women across multiple generations.
We’re confident you will like what you see here. Of course, if you want to see the full range of what’s available, we’ve got 60,000 exhibitors for you to visit next January.
