Update on the Local Biz Expo

We’re ready to go!!!

The Local Biz Expo is Thursday, March 24th from 4p.m. to 8p.m. at
Carruther’s Creek Golf & Country Club.

We need your help spreading the word and are calling all volunteers!

We are happy to inform you that the Trade Show advertising is gaining
momentum; and during these final days approaching the event a huge marketing drive is now on to ensure the success and promotion of this event. We would like to thank More Cents Designs for organizing the flyer that you can see on this blog and share with friends or post in areas of high visibility (if you require the flyer in a higher resolution file, please let us know). Please be sure to email details to all those in your local Durham e-mail address book. If you are a participant, encourage people to support you at your first trade show unveiling. If you are a past grad planning to attend, kindly help us out by doing the same!

If you are a vendor please encourage your guests to show a pass with your contact info on it, there is a prize for the person who brings the most referrals to the show!

First prize is $75 to go towards a night out on the town (details to be discussed with the winner afterward). There will also be a random draw with the prize being a $50 gift card towards office supplies. Get the word out!

Remember good marketing is the key to success, so help us ensure yours by taking the time to self promote this fabulous show.

Social Media Links

Another way to provide support for this event is through your social media channels. We are working on getting the message out through all mediums so please let us know what channels you are using so we can work together.

Sharing this blog is a great way to share all the details about this event. We are looking for people that have or are willing to create pieces to be shared here. If you are interested in helping, have a special offer or want to submit a piece please contact andrea@divercityconsultants.com
