Enter the Product Showcase
If you’re ready to put what’s Now, New, Next in front of retailers seeking fresh merchandising ideas, be sure to participate in the product showcase!
Product Showcase
Participants in the program will have their products prominently displayed in showcases on the NACDS Total Store Expo exhibit hall floor and will ALSO have their products featured on the NACDS Total Store Expo website.

How Much Added Exposure Will You Get?
Retailers looking for new merchandising ideas will preview products in advance of Total Store Expo, and again in the showcases on the exhibit hall floor. That’s two additional points of invaluable exposure.
Consider this: Your product will be presented in a special section of the NACDS Total Store Expo website prior to and during the conference. Your listing will include your company name, booth number, product description and color photograph of your product. Your product will be prominently displayed on the exhibit hall floor, front and center in the custom-designed Product Showcases.
You will also have the opportunity to win “Best of the Best” – a winner will be selected for each product category and announced during the show hours on Monday, August 25, 2025 and in a separate press release. Retailers attending the expo will vote on the “Best of the Best” in each product category.
