MarketPlace Events has been hosting the Spring Home + Remodeling Show in Nashville for several years – and I have been exhibiting with them since they started here. The show is very professionally managed, and their presentation is beautiful.
Their team is very helpful, and they care about the exhibitors. These make it easy to do business with them, but, why does our small interior design business participate in a home show, year after year? It is one of the ways for us to get our name out. It makes it possible for people to engage with a designer and to alleviate their fears when they learn that we are very approachable, becoming less afraid of booking appointments with us. It also helps us develop our e-mail contact list, so that we can market our web seminars, and remain in front of potential clients between shows. Home Shows have worked for us much better than direct mail – and the cost is comparable.
I'm always glad that I did the show!
