Nationwide Marketing Group (NMG), announced today that registration is now open for their upcoming PrimeTime! buying show and conference at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando on August 16-19, 2009.

RentDirect, the nations largest rent-to-own industry buying group, is a division of NMG.

PrimeTime!, the largest buying show and conference for appliance, electronics and furniture independent dealers launched their Disney inspired registration website today at www.nationwideprimetime.com. Early registration specials include discount passes to Disney and a drawing for a free 3 night hotel stay at the Swan and Dolphin Resort. NMG will also be hosting a Disney® Character Breakfast for families who attend and a Beach Party to kickoff the show featuring live music, food and cold beverages.

“Over 35 years ago, Nationwide started with a small group of independent family owned retail stores just like many of our member dealers today,” said Ed Kelly, President of Nationwide Marketing Group. “We are encouraging our dealers to bring their families to PrimeTime! and make the most of their trip to Orlando.”

The theme for this PrimeTime! is, Your Road Ahead: Choices, Opportunities, and Results. “We will be challenging our member dealers to look ahead and take the necessary actions to align their businesses in the right direction,” said Robert Weisner, Executive Vice President of Nationwide Marketing Group. “All the resources they need to get the results they want will be available at PrimeTime!.”

Twice a year, the PrimeTime! buying show and conference brings together independent dealers, manufacturers and service vendors from across the country to do business, network and learn the latest in the appliance, electronics and furniture industries. The show also includes PrimeTime! University, two days of FREE business courses taught by industry experts.

Weisner commented, “We received very positive feedback on PrimeTime! University in New Orleans, so we have included more hands-on courses in the upcoming show tailored to the needs of the independent dealer.” Some of the topics being offered through PrimeTime University in Orlando include management, finance, human resources, sales, marketing, service and warranty.

Other highlights of PrimeTime! are a two day vendor exhibition, exclusive show promotions, group meetings, industry presentations, training sessions, new product launches, member service demonstrations and networking opportunities.

“Nationwide continues to set the bar higher every PrimeTime! by providing our members more savings, more courses, more networking and resources to help grow their businesses,” said Les Kirk, Executive Vice President of Nationwide Marketing Group. “In fact, at our last PrimeTime! we gave out over $8 million in rebate checks. That is why PrimeTime! is so successful and the largest buying show and conference for appliance, electronics and furniture independent dealers in America.”
