"Despite the economy, or perhaps because of it, sophisticated companies are looking for additional high-impact ways of reaching the market. Over-sized, over-priced and over-scaled trade shows are being abandoned in favor of more targeted, economical and higher impact avenues,” according to
Circuits Assembly Editor-in-Chief Mike Buetow. “Be it Web or trade show marketing, there simply is no better ROI than Virtual PCB.”
