“I’ve been part of Marketplace Events’ home shows for years. I’m not
only on stage, but I actually take booth space and have developed a
sponsorship program to promote my own company, Baeumler Approved.
These people are the best in the business and they know shows. They
bring in high quality consumers, create a fresh show year after year
and work with exhibitors and partners to maximize our investment. I’ve
already renewed my space for 2016 and looking forward to being back at
the Show.”

PROVEN RESULTS
We manage multiple shows in the same markets and our geotracking analysis
shows the average cross-over audience was only 4%. 96% of visitors are
a unique audience. If you exhibit in just one of our Edmonton shows you’re
missing an entire audience of customers!
GETTING THE WORD OUT
Our creative campaign “real advice, real inspiration, real experts”,
with a focus on renovation, aimed at drawing attention to the people
who get their hands dirty in their craft every day – experts like you!
We received more than $300,000 in paid & promotional media
including print, radio, television, out-of-home & online. Plus, the Show
garnered over $360,000 in PR value across a variety of mediums.

OPINION
HERE’S WHAT EXHIBITORS IN
THIS YEAR’S SHOW HAD TO SAY:
From open to close the crowds were
like we had never seen before. Friday
attendance was at the level of Saturday
afternoon traffic for this show! We’ll
be back next year for sure and we can’t
wait to see what you do with the new
fall show. Also, thanks for your help with
booth layout. You’re not just sales people
but also “sales coaches” willing to help
exhibitors do the best they can.

Traffic flow was very good. We received
the exposure we were hoping for and have
booked again for next year!

Very happy to see that the Reno Show was
well advertised on TV and radio. We have
done this show for the last 4 years (when
produced by the previous owner) and this
is the highest volume of visitors to date.
Very impressed!
