Exhibitors
Interested in exhibiting at EXPO?
A trade show presence is only effective if the attendees want to be there,” says Chris Nichols of Vermeer Corporation. “With TCI EXPO, they do.”
And the number one reason attendees want to be at TCI EXPO is to see (and purchase) new products. Almost 80% of attendees play a role in the purchase of products or services. They are looking for solutions to their tree care concerns – and your products and services can provide these solutions!
Contact Sachin Mohan at 516-625-1613 to confirm your space. As always, this space is sold based on first-come first-served. Calls will be answered in the order they are received.
Why not launch new products and receive invaluable face-to-face feedback from attendees?
As an exhibitor at TCI EXPO, you can also meet and network with loyal and potential clients. You can grow your industry presence while also learning more about client expectations.
Over the years, TCI has grown to become more than a huge product showroom – though that’s still the show’s strength! TCI EXPO is the only trade show for the tree care industry that features a full slate of seminars designed specifically for the commercial tree care business owner. That’s why you’ll find more business owners at TCI EXPO than anywhere else.
Don’t forget, these are more than just tree guys… they manage snow and ice, install and maintain landscapes, control pests and diseases, fertilize and improve soil quality, sell firewood, lumber and mulch, move large trees, install landscape and holiday lighting, and more!
As an exhibitor at a trade show, you will reach seven times as many prospects as you would through any other type of marketing.* And since you can request pre-show and post-show attendee lists, there is no better investment of your time and sales resources than exhibiting at TCI EXPO in Charlotte in 2013.
