What 2011 Exhibitors said......
"Clipsal Australia was thrilled to have been able to participate in the 2011 Master Builders Building and Home Improvement Expo. As a first-time exhibitor, it was amazing to see crowds lined up at the door, prior to 10am, just to get in. Right from the word go there was a steady stream of people passing through our stand; indeed at times it was hard to keep up with all those interested in Clipsal products. All age groups were represented from young couples to retirees; both new home builders and renovators, and everything in between."
Trish McKeown, Wholesaler Representative, Clipsal by Schneider Electric
"We were overwhelmed by the reception our stand received at the 2011 Master Builders Building & Home Improvement Expo. It was the greatest possible exposure aimed directly at our target market - we have already achieved direct sales as a result, just days after making the leads. The Expo coordinators and staff only enhanced our experience and we will definitely be choosing to feature in this event again. It was 100% worth the investment." James McGovern, Brand Manager, Harvey Norman
"We are so glad that we were a part of the Master Builders Building and Home Improvement Expo over the last weekend. It was so well arranged, organized and coordinated that it felt like a breeze. Everybody was very helpful, catering to our questions and requests, and as we were exhibiting for the first time we had a few. They have made us feel that we can do it again. Participating in the Expo helped our brand new business and unique products to receive a massive amount of exposure within a relatively short time and showed us that there is a good market for our product. We have tried to utilise most of the advertising options provided through the Expo. Even after the show we are getting new sales inquiries." Adrienn and Zsolt Toth, Barricade Bar
"We were absolutely amazed by the response from the show. It was a fantastic vibe throughout and we have already booked for next year!" Matt Hynes, Director, Classy Stone Solutions
"As an exhibitor, the Show offered us the opportunity to display our wide range of products, discuss their advantages and read far more people in the short space of 3 days than we ever could in any other forum. We really feel like we definitely got "bang for our buck" and look forward to returning to the Master Builders Building and Home Improvement Expo."
Trish McKeown, Wholesaler Representative, Clipsal by Schneider Electric
"We had our first exhibit at the Master Builders Building and Home Improvement Expo this year and loved every minute of it. Great venue, well organised and terrific customers - what else could you ask for!'" Chris Doolan, CEO, Proskill - Mascot Workwear
"2011 is our 3rd consecutive year exhibiting at the Master Builder's Building and Home Improvement Expo and this year was definitely the busiest. Those who attended were willing to buy but most importantly in our market, very willing to ask questions and listen. Just 10 days after the Expo we have confirmed work that has paid for the stand in full. The Expo was very well attended, well marketed and we have already booked next year's stand." Angela Petruzzi, Livos Australia Pty Ltd
"It's our fourth year at the show and every year it's consistent. I think the marketing and advertising you did on TV really brought the right clientele to the Expo. Builders, trades people and home renovators were there asking us questions on projects they have and were happy to purchase our tools in order to do the job right. Thank you for another successful Expo and I'm looking forward to 2012." Denny Barichello, New Style Direct
"We had a fantastic show, both the events staff and venue offer a great service for businesses. It was great for both brand awareness and lead generation and has turned out to be one of our lowest costs per lead within our current marketing mix. We will not hesitate to exhibit again."
Craig Johnson, Managing Director, Ecostar Double Glazing
"I am expecting the show to be of excellent value for our business and I have no doubt we will feel the true value over the coming months. The show was very well run from the initial set up and throughout the show. I appreciated the effort to go above and beyond the service provided by other exhibition organisers. Well done and congratulate your colleagues for a great event." Steve Mawdsley, Limestone Australia
"We wanted to thank you for the help and support with the recent Expo. Without your technical knowledge, follow up information and willingness to offer solutions to make our experience a very positive one, we would not have had such a successful Expo. It was by far our most rewarding and PROFITABLE show that we have been involved in 2011. We collected over 600 genuine customer enquiries, which have led to over 350 new quotes and potential customers for True Value Solar. It was also a very positive "branding " activity for us....in the 5 days following the Master Builders Building & Home Improvement Expo our internet enquiries increased significantly with no other marketing, making the Expo a good business decision." Brett Fraser, Sales - Team Leader, True Value Solar
