THE PARK EXPO AND CONFERENCE CENTER

Spring
THE PARK EXPO AND CONFERENCE CENTER
formerly the Charlotte Merchandise Mart
BE A PART...
of the most anticipated home and garden event in the Southeast...and take the
guessword out of where your marketing dollars should be spent. The Southern Spring
Home & Garden Show brings customers directly to you. It provides the opportunity to
directly engage with your target audience, homeowners ready to build, renovate,
decorate and landscape. Unlike most advertising mediums, this show enables
consumers to touch, see, sample and connect with experts...YOU!
For more than 50 years, thousands of companies have invested in this can’t miss
event ushering in the home improvement season. Here is what some of those
companies had to say:
This was our first show and it was a
qualified success. We were able to
show off our company to
hundreds of new, potential clients.
And Judging from our uptick in
sales in our two locations those
clients have become Curtains
& Co. fans.
Show was great, management staff
was amazing and they really have
their show organized with minimal
stress. Promotions were the best I
have seen of any home show.
Canine Scholars Dog Training
Jason Toy
We were successful a large part
due to the pre show meeting where
it was discussed what to do, what
not to do, and how to set up an exhibit. The training paid off and now
we are closing the leads generated.
Pro Plus Painting & Remodeling
Paul Smith
Marian Hayes
Curtain & Company
This year we had more activity in
our booth than in any previous
show. Southern Shows did a great
job of bringing in attendees.

130 Leads!
Custom Sunroom Designs
Scott Nordland
We had a good showing. It has
been 10 years since we had done
a public display and were looking
for good consumer leads for
remodeling their bathrooms.
We have booked at least 20
appointments since the show
S & S Building Specialties, Inc.
Philip Soutier
The show was very productive
considering the economy. Guests
were serious about making
commitments which hopefully is
indicative of an improving business
climate. In less than a week after the
completion of the show, we have
already sold more than last year’s
show and have a dozen or more
additional appointments set.
Premier Garage
Jim Riggs We have met so many wonderful
clients over the years at the
Spring Show and the Ideal Home
Show. Southern Shows does a
great job and allows us to
showcase our work. A significant
percentage of our sales come
directly from the shows, and we
would not be in business without
those opportunities.
