WHAT EXACTLY IS  EXHIBITING AT THE “BL SMALL BUSINESS EXPO”?
This a 13-year running opportunity to showcase one’s products or services to scores of attendees. It is in fact a combination of 3 separate events, with the first 2 being complimentary to the exhibitors.
  1. The first one is the orientation/training for exhibitors. Here exhibitors are informed of the event layout, setup and other important details. They are invited to work out exactly what they want or plan to get out of the Expo. This then leads to the appropriate setup of the booth as well as the pitch that will help them achieve their goal(s). They will also be provided with a checklist of actions to take before, during and after the Expo.
  2. The second one is the reception/mixer with exhibitors and sponsors where they introduce themselves and get acquainted so they can refer business to one another at the main Expo.
  3. The Expo, itself. Generally exhibitors are presented with a complimentary opportunity to come in and set up the night before.
  4. The Orientation, the checklist of actions to take, the Exhibitors' Reception and the opportunity to set up one's booth the night before are elements known to help multiply one's R.O.I. several times over!
 
WHAT VALUE DO YOU GET FOR EXHIBITING?
1. LEADS:
Exhibiting IS a major Lead Generation Potential for you!

2. WORD of MOUTH/NETWORKING:
Word of mouth was, is, and most probably will remain the most powerful advertisement known to man. When it comes to connecting or sharing one's product, nothing can compete with face-to-face interaction. 

3. SALES:
Exhibiting at a trade show gives you an unprecedented level of access to important prospects, all without the resentment and apprehension that characterise traditional direct sales. Typical objections disappear as customers are in a buying mood.

4. TESTING, PILOTING or LAUNCHING a product/service:
The crowd is yours to work with.

5. THE FIELD IS LEVEL for ALL:
 From locally owned small businesses to multinational corporations, everyone has access to the same attendees at the show. 

Additional benefits are:
- Only 3 companies per industry are allowed to exhibit
- A  6 ft X 3 ft table
- 2 reps allowed at the expo (with no additional cost)
- Complimentary Power line

"I am so excited my coaching business, Layered Living, participated in the BL SMALL Business Expo. It was a fantastic day! I grew my contact list by over 30%, more than doubled my expected consultation sign-ups, and made numerous contacts with the opportunity to help me expand my business further. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish!"
