Posted by yolanda lerner on Mon, Feb 10, 2014

2014 started off with a bang in terms of interest in lab products at Texas A&M and the Texas Medical Center BioResearch Product Faire™ Sales Events last week, with 60 lab suppliers presenting their 2014 offerings to the over 600 participating researchers seeking new products, networking, and fact finding.

Participating companies have reported the number of guests, number of solid leads looking to purchase their products, the average cost of their products, and the number of times products are typically purchased each year. Responses from lab supply and equipment companies regarding the interest in their products at this event ranged from about $10,000 to $4.2 Million in potential sales from this single market. Below are some sample responses to survey questions, segregated by product price:

In the under $10K average product price* category:

  • 30 solid leads for a $5k product
  • 10 leads for a $1,000 product ordered up to 10 times per year
  • 100 high-quality leads for a $600 product that is purchased 5-6 times each year
  • 12 leads for a $300 product purchased monthly
  • 10 leads for a $5K product
  • 100 for a $400 product typically reordered 10 times a year
  • 4 leads for a $5K product
  • And some companies were too busy to calculate numbers, as one reported "oodles" of leads for a $400 product reordered 2-3 times per year

In the over $10K product price range lab equipment companies did brisk business as well:

  • One company reported 5 solid leads for a $150K purchase
  • One reported 15 great leads for equipment ranging $145K - $280K in price
  • Another reported 11 solid leads for a $15K product
