Designer Vern Yip to attend the Great Northeast Home Show
Renowned interior designer Vern Yip, Judge on HGTV Design Star and host of Deserving Design will be at the show on Saturday presenting design seminars. In addition, we will run a pre-show contest in which one lucky person will win a personal design consultation with Vern.

The 30th annual Great Northeast Home Show is January 29-31 in the heart of downtown Albany, NY at the Empire State Plaza and Times Union Center. Our three day consumer show has grown to encompass two buildings, over 500 exhibits and 50+ seminars.

We are committed to making it another successful event and have booked an aggressive promotion schedule that includes TV, radio, the web, magazines and newspaper.

The home show is a cost-effective way to reach thousands of qualified homeowners. You have complete control over your message and can answer questions face to face to accelerate the buying process. The home show offers a non-intimidating environment where people get new ideas, comparison shop and most importantly talk to you, the experts.

Tips for Exhibiting

Make appointments in advance benefit of out of town attendees.
Plan regular demonstrations or activities that will entertain and motivate visitors.
Display and highlight new releases and design your booth around the products/services rather than trying to fit products into a design.
Provide detailed information on how to obtain your product or services nationwide.
Take time to select the right exhibition team and train them on the goals you have for the show. Your staff should create a welcome atmosphere - not cluster with friends and other staff - nobody will approach a group of strangers - it is too intimidating.
Don't ignore visitors - if staff are too busy when someone approaches, they should try to acknowledge them or try to include them in the conversation.
Rehearse qualifying lines for the staff to ensure the database you collect is strong and relevant.
Link existing advertising with your participation in the show. Announce your involvement in the show by including a brief message and your booth number on your fax header sheet, and mailouts.
Promote incentives in all advance publicity and promotional materials and encourage prospects come to your booth for fulfillment.
