Longe Media Conference: Business , Fashion & Music EXPO
SATURDAY  Sept 2012
The Hyatt -  Stamford CT

The Business Expo offers your business…

• Face-to-face conversations with  potential customers
  We all look for ways to get our message to our target market. Getting through to decision makers can be challenging—phone calls go unanswered, emails are not returned, etc. Rather than chasing down leads, why not let Business Expo bring buying customers to you, allowing you to reach them directly?
  
  
• Support to help you maximize your investment
  Whether this is your first exhibit or you're an old pro, the Chamber will be with you through the whole process. We're equipping you with creative marketing tools to help you reach the greatest return on your investment. Make sure you check out all our pre-expo workshops.
  
  
• A cost-effective tool for reaching your target market
  You want to make the most of our marketing investments. When you average the cost per lead when exhibiting at the Business Expo 2012, I think you'll find it to be a cost-effective solution to grow your business.
  
  

This year's show Hyatt Regency Hotel Stamford Connecticut providing a professional backdrop to showcase your business. Sign up today to make sure you get the best location possible. It's going to be a great expo, and we want you to be part of it. I'll see you there!
