The 3rd Annual Fredericksburg Home & Garden Show with the Fredericksburg Area Builders Association as the presenting sponsor is set for March 27-28-29, 2009 at the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center was a wonderful success. The crowds of qualified buyers made their way throught the show and the respoonse from vendors was very postive on the return on investment by having a presence

Ballantine Management Group continues to strive to produce the best shows and it is important that BMG monitors the factors that make for a successful show for both the exhibitors and those attending the show.

Studies have shown that there is no better return on the investment when you exhibit at a show. You don't just have crowds in the building, there are qualified buyers actively seeking out products and services from the exhibitors in the show. Research has shown that 86% of our attendees made or planned to make purchases based on what they saw or learned at the show.

BMG will continue to put into action our “Total Marketing Commitment”, which includes a marketing plan consisting of electronic and print advertising, direct mail and email and working with the exhibitors on reaching new potential customers. The show will again have a full color tabloid guide at the show, which is also mailed out to over 130,000 residents in Northern Virginia.

This is an opportunity to showcase your products and services in an atmosphere conducive to securing the sale. Isn’t it worth having a presence at the Fredericksburg Expo Center where you will get a flow of traffic of qualified customers that can actually touch and see a product and meet the staff of the Company with whom they could be spending their money? This Expo provides more customer traffic in one weekend than any marketing campaign for the same amount of money.

We provide our exhibitors with a “Total Marketing Commitment” providing an unparalleled pool of targeted potential buyers. BMG uses a major regional advertising campaign, anchored by key media buys from local Cable TV and Radio Stations as well as an aggressive print, billboard and direct mail and email efforts. This is in addition to capitalizing on the enormous amount of day to day traffic that the Central Park Entertainment Area brings to the area.
