Thank you very much for your interest in our 2017 Home & Garden Expos. We’ve included the floorplans and pricing for our upcoming events in this packet for your review as well as why our direction for 2017 makes our events more valuable to your business than ever.

We have just completed a record season with regards to attendance, consistency and productivity for our exhibitors. We had implemented the most aggressive and comprehensive approach to advertising a group of events that this market has ever seen and the results were clear as we substantially increased attendance at each and every one of our events with many new records set.

It is easy to understand what comes next. Great shows this year have increased demand for space for next year. We have already received many times the amount of reservation requests as we had at this time last year, putting many of these events on a pace to sell out well in advance. While this does mean that we will be able to increase the advertising coverage to an unprecedented and unmatched level in the Chicago area, it also means that reserving space at this time assures your business the best positioning and exposure for 2017 and beyond.

The key benefits of your participation in our events: Face to Face exposure to thousands of homeowners who are ready to buy Tap into exclusive, affluent markets that are not served by any other event Benefit from millions of advertising impressions with one small investment Allow us to bring exclusive buyers to you Generate quality leads with high closing ratios Set appointments directly at the events for immediate sales

Don’t Miss the Largest Home & Garden Expo to ever take

place in Lake County!

Proudly delivered to you by the producer of the Largest and Most

Heavily Attended Group of Home Shows in Chicagoland!

The Home & Garden Show Magazine

Increase your impact at our events by purchasing a full color ad in our 2017 Home & Garden Show Programs! This high quality, full‐color take home magazine will be distributed to thousands of attendees at each event. Homeowners snap them up when they enter, review them periodically during the show as well as when they return home. It’s also a great way to immediately spark the interest in your company to the attendees at the entrance allowing you to highlight your booth number and increase the number of homeowners who’ll seek you out at the show, so it’s a great addition to help increase results and your bottom line. Additionally, this year we will be posting the Show Programs on our heavily trafficked websites well after the events as well as including a link to the online magazine in all email campaigns (including those to previous attendees), offering you even more valuable exposure for your company that reaches well beyond the show itself. Not only do you increase the exposure for your company and your brand, but you gain valuable added exposure to those whom you may have been too busy to talk to at the show. It’s like a little insurance to ensure the greatest coverage possible. It’s affordable and it can make a huge difference, so contact us today for details.
