Testimonials
"Thanks to all of the incredible staff at Marketplace Events for the support they gave to Freedom Design Kitchen & Bath throughout the entire year in the pre-planning phase leading up to the show, during setup and throughout the entire show. You have exceeded our expectations as an exhibitor with your attention to detail, enthusiasm and willingness to get things done. Our designers have already closed an incredible amount of leads generated from our 400 sq ft booth featuring KraftMaid Cabinetry. And, the phone keeps ringing from potential customers stating they saw us at the show. We believe that exhibiting at the show is one of our wisest investments of our marketing dollars. Marketplace Events is truly a class act and I see why you are the largest home show producer in North America. We look forward to working with you in 2012",
Cindy Staycheff, Freedom Design Kitchen & Bath
"The 2010 show was a definite improvement from (the previous show producer). Our sales (committed and scheduled appointments) increased by 30% from last year. We are anticipating an increase in attendance in 2011 due to differences between the two "Home & Garden" shows in the market. Looking forward to establishing my permanent booth for years to come."
George Grozan, Productive Air Duct Cleaning
"Thank you to everyone at Marketplace Events for organizing the best show we have ever attended. The feedback I received from consumers was tremendous. You successfully created a buzz that will brand this show as "THE" home show to attend. My company shattered all previous sales records compared to other shows."
William H. Barr (Show Sponsor), Universal Windows Direct
"Marketplace Events put on a beautiful show, making for a great experience as an attendee AND as an exhibitor. The staff was very professional and helpful in assisting us with our needs and requests before, during and after the show. It was a very enjoyable exhibitor experience."
Francesca L. Ionta (Show Sponsor), The Sherwin Williams Company
"I have been participating in home shows for about 20 years in the greater Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Erie, Pa areas. I must say that the layout and presentation of The Great Big Home and Garden Expo at the I-X Center was, hands down, the best I have ever seen. The customer response was more than I have ever experienced. Congratulations on a job well done and welcome to our market."
Daniel E. Koster, All Custom Re-Bath
“I heard a lot of comments from customers and friends that they would only be attending this show from now on and that they would be spreading the word about how GREAT this show was."
Gerri Schmid, Celebrating Home
“We were very impressed with the way Marketplace Events produced the show. It was a definite improvement over last year's show! The Gardens and the Idea Homes were real show stoppers! We had great remarks from our customers and show attendees!"
Darlene Patsey, Justice & Company
"Thank you to everyone at Marketplace Events for putting on such a first-class show. We are very pleased with the traffic that you generated even though the weather challenges. Your professionalism and willingness to help us at every turn did not go unnoticed. We are looking forward to doing the show again next year."
Scott Kubit (2010 Idea Home Builder), Bob Schmitt Homes
"I was very impressed with the organization of everything that took place to make the show happen. It was very easy to work with everyone, and the attitude of everyone was also worth the experience. We look forward to being involved with Marketplace Events in the future. Thank you very much for the exposure."
Barry Morton, Jr., Morton's Landscape Development Co.
"Fantastic job on the show. Your entire staff proved to be extremely professional and exceeded all my expectations. We received hundreds of contacts and dozens of solid leads. We even sold a new patio installation at the show that paid for the show. The weekends had so much traffic that my staff sometimes couldn't keep up. I was very pleased with the "right" homeowners at the show. We had plenty of business! We are already getting new clients from the show and I think that we will increase our sales by 30% this year."
