Dear Exhibitor, This is becoming the must see show of the area; from the day we started it was our goal to make this THE place to go for consumers looking to build, remodel or get information on any other products/services regarding their home. Reports from 08' exhibitors were filled with on the floor sales, successful followup sales and a general belief that lead quality was very high. We are excited to announce the 4th Annual North Country Home & Backyard EXPO, April 17-19, 2009 at the Glens Falls Civic Center. Through a precise mix of media and public relations we will create an event that will showcase the many building services available to this growing area. The growth that we are seeing now has created a window of opportunity for this region to host its own industry event…an event that focuses on you. We will create an environment that anyone who is building, remodeling or just getting started could not afford to miss. An event with educational seminars and demonstrations, devoid of the carnival like atmosphere found at most home shows. Again, we want this to be an annual event that can’t be missed! Some of the things you can expect at this show: • A show that is focused on the building industry • Marketing plan that would blanket the region and beyond to reach the people who count • Show branding to include a dedicated website for this event- www.northcountryhomeexpo.com • Unparalleled customer service • Attention to detail that translates into a comfortable environment to sell Our company, Solid WOOD Promotions, focuses on events for the building industry. We bring 20 years of building and event industry experience to every show. We target our events at reaching the people who count, not counting the people. As proud members of BRANNY, NAHB, TFBC and BSC building councils, we look forward showcasing the building industry professionals of the “North Country” Act now and get the space you want! I have enclosed a floor plan, exhibit space agreement and fact sheet for your review. Please call Eric Johnson at (518) 618.1195 for more information on exhibiting at the 2009 show. Thank you.
