Our company attended the Pittsburgh Business Show back in April as a vendor and a presenting sponsor. We were so excited to get involved with this event from the very beginning and it turned out to be a huge success for us. It was so great to be able to meet so many other businesses at the show, both from foot traffic coming through the doors and also from hanging out with all of the other vendors.

Landon and Acosta, LLC, benefited greatly from exhibiting at the Pittsburgh Business Show. We are business brokers, and the show was a fantastic opportunity to meet business owners that were interested in growing their businesses by making strategic acquisitions, or selling their business to cash out and retire.

ADVANCED MARKETING TOOLS & STRATEGIES



Sponsoring the Pittsburgh Business Show is an

excellent opportunity for both small and large

companies to reach thousands of businesses,

generate leads, and build your brand and name

recognition. The opportunities associated with being

a sponsor are much greater than any other show

offered in the Pittsburgh market.

We will reach over 29,000 businesses through our social media,

reach thousands of people and businesses in the Pittsburgh

and local surrounding markets, bring through traffic of other

businesses through your vendor spots and allow you the

opportunity to build your name recognition through our website

and other opportunities online.

Sponsorship opportunities allow for many areas of marketing and

media that can also benefit you today, tomorrow and in the future.

This recognition and long-lasting reach of our marketing will help

you build your name recognition and company brand. We allow

for press releases, videos, billboards, television, and other media

that you can be displayed on and recognized as a sponsor of the

Pittsburgh Business Show. Being an active sponsor for the current

year and in future Shows can ensure that you build a ongoing name

recognition and lead source to count on year after year to bring in

new opportunities to your business.

We are also looking forward to working with our sponsors

throughout the entire year and into the following year. This will help

build your name recognition along with your credibility online and

provide you with potential leads and opportunities in the future as

well as at the show.

Feel free to call us and learn about all the opportunities and options

available with one of the largest business to business shows in north
