Promotional Kit

In this section, find ideas and programs to help you stand out at the show.

BOOTH PROMOTIONS

Promotions can provide that spark that makes your exhibit stand out to attendees. Contests, giveaways and hospitality are all great ways to draw traffic into your booth. If you would like to sponsor a special promotion in your booth, we can provide exposure in a supplement to the Architectural Digest Home Design Show Directory. We will publish the details of your programs, product presentations, parties or other special events, allowing you to reach industry professionals and decision-makers.

To offer food service in your booth, contact Liz Waters at 312-527-7061.

DIRECTORY

The Show Directory, including schedule of events, floor plan and exhibitor list, is distributed on-site to all attendees. Each exhibiting company is asked to submit information for the free listing in the directory. If necessary, an addendum to the Directory will be printed to include new exhibitors or to list changes to booth locations. The directory form should be completed by 2/06/08 and is available at http://www.exhibitorinfo.com/adhds/directorylisting.cfm

Advertising opportunities are also available in the directory. Click here for a rate card or contact Greg Godfrey at 212.661.1520 or gregory@ewwpi.com.
