The best advice he gave was \u2018just keep swimming. Times get hard for all of us, but if you keep swimming you\u2019ll get there.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a judge on the ABC hit reality show, <em>Shark Tank<\/em>, John fields business pitches from everyday people hoping to launch their company or product to new heights and then invests his own money into the best projects. His keynote was the highlight of the two-day trade show hosted by the Advertising Specialty Institute<sup class=\"register\">\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0at the Javits Convention Center, Thursday, April 3 and Friday, April 4. The convention featured 2014\u2019s new items from throughout the $20.5 billion promotional products industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cASI New York has been great,\u201d said Cynthia Weaver, of Polished with Etiquette (asi\/296807). \u201cThe products I found are going to not only grow my current business but allow me to break into new markets. The ASI Show gives business owners the unique opportunity to find fresh and new ideas to bring back to our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The high-energy event attracted over 1,900 distributors from as far as Switzerland and Trinidad and Tobago, and 220 suppliers showcasing their newest ad specialty products for the second half of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe show has been very good,\u201d said Louis Massaro, of Cooler Graphics (asi\/80345). \u201cWe gathered many great leads and have been able to spend valuable time with our existing clients. The best thing about the show has been the quality of the attendees.\u201d Pete Nutty, of Showdown Displays (asi\/87188), added: \u201cASI New York has been fantastic. Everyone should be at this show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show attracted a ton of media attention, including MSNBC\u2019s <em>Your Business<\/em> program and <em>Fox 5 News. <\/em>Friday, ASI\u2019s products expert, Joe \u201cThe Joe Show\u201d Haley, demonstrated some of the show\u2019s coolest products during an appearance on Fox TV\u2019s <em>Good Day New York<\/em> morning show alongside anchors Rosanna Scotto and Greg Kelly. ASI will post links to all TV coverage on its website next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cASI\u2019s New York show was terrific,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president of <em>The ASI Show<\/em> and president and chief executive officer of ASI. \u201cThere was excitement from start to finish, a rock star keynote and plenty of quality suppliers. Daymond John was a huge hit and we had so many people come to his presentation they spilled out into the hallway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the show, ASI also hosted free education classes on social media, relationship building, demographics, sales and the secrets of successful entrepreneurs. All classes qualified for points toward the ASI Certification Program. To date, over 29,000 industry professionals have registered for classes necessary to obtain the industry certification through ASI\u2019s free Online Learning Center.<\/p>\n<p>ASI kicked off events Tuesday and Wednesday at the Javits Center with its invitation-only hosted buyer event, fASIlitate, featuring productive, one-on-one meetings between leading distributors and some of the industry\u2019s most sought-after suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cfASIlitate has been great for us,\u201d said Owen Zibrak, of Ecocentric Brands (asi\/51443). \u201cWe have met some great people and have made valuable business connections. Each of the individual meetings we had today were a success.
