The Daily ItemSWAMPSCOTT – The Lynn Area Chamber of Commerce is seeking home and garden professionals to exhibit at the 2nd annual Swampscott Home and Garden Show on Saturday, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Swampscott High School, 200 Essex St.The event will feature over 40 home and garden professionals; “how to” seminars and demonstrations, a silent auction of home and garden items, kids’ activities such as face painting, a balloon twister; and lunch café.’Multi-level sponsorship opportunities are also available and offer the business a higher level of media and ‘day of’ promotion including placement in the exhibit hall.”Last year’s show attracted over 500 residents from Swampscott, Marblehead, Nahant, Lynn, Salem and Beverly,” says LACC President/CEO Leslie Gould. “Exhibitors were extremely pleased with the amount of leads generated and that’s why in this economy, you can’t afford not to come into an event like this. It’s a great opportunity for any home and garden professional to meet one-on-one with consumers and the booth space is cost effective.”The cost for home and garden professionals to exhibit is $300 for LACC members and $400 for non-members. Exhibitors receive a 10 x 10 foot booth with electricity and can create almost any kind of display promoting their business as well as sell their products. All vendors will be listed in the LACC’s aggressive media promotion of the event in print and on-line. The Home and Garden Show will also be promoted on Facebook and Twitter.In addition Gould adds that many who attended last year’s event asked if a craft show component could be added to the show.”Most crafters make products for the home and garden and with the holidays approaching this is a welcome mix of products and services and another draw for the community. We are able to fit many crafters down a wing off the main exhibit hall. The cost to have a booth is $75.”Gould adds, “This show is unique because it truly caters to the local business looking for solid leads and consumers looking to make home and garden improvements if not right away, then soon. We’ve created a business-to-consumer, family- friendly community event.”The Lynn Area Chamber of Commerce is committed to developing and fostering a dynamic business environment by serving, protecting and promoting its members through valuable resources, government representation, marketing and networking opportunities.To reserve booth space or for more information please contact the LACC at 781-592-2900, or at [email protected] or www.LynnAreaChamber.com
