LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultimate Sports, Inc. (Pink Sheets:USPS - News), a manufacturer and supplier to the recreational vehicle industry, announced today that representatives just returned from Novi, Michigan where they participated in a large-scale show presented by Snowmobile USA.
The event was held at the Rock Financial Showplace, and according to www.snowmobileusa.com, it was colossal. Consuming 230,000 square feet of indoor display space, the walking distance was equal to 6 football fields, with each square foot filled with "pure snowmobiling action" (Source: http://www.snowmobileusa.com/shows.shtml#novi). Alex Debogorski from the hit television series, Ice Road Truckers, even made a special guest appearance at the show.
There was also dramatic increase in booth traffic this year, mainly attributed to the show's attendance rate which was up from last year's 14,343 guests. USI's sales figures from this show were up 20% over last year's sales at the same event. A great deal of information about the upcoming year can be forecasted from shows such as this one. In addition, the location is ideal since Michigan is the largest state in the union for registered snowmobiles.
Kevin Metheny, President of Ultimate Sports, states, "Our 20% increase in sales over last year's show prove that the Motor City is back in action. Attendance was great and so were the purchases of our new products, namely the 'Best Ski in the Industry' award winning X2 Triple Threat Skis. We are confident that this trend will continue on into the winter."
