The four expos in 2011 drew attendees from more than 40 states and effectively reach 40 percent of the U.S. market. Attendance ranges from more than 14,500 to nearly 27,000 for the 2-1/2-day weekend events. Booth totals range from 250 to nearly 600.

The expos are prime "hands-on", face-to-face product introduction opportunities. Glenn Helgeland, expo producer and president of Target Communications, notes, "Potential customers feel intensely about getting their hands on the products, examining them, and even trying them out. Today’s customer also wants face-to-face interaction with the manufacturer, to get his/her questions answered quickly and to evaluate the company’s product line and reliability. This is where your products become real."

"We have clean, quality, well-focused expos with committed, active, spending attendees. This is a weekend loaded with informative seminars and plenty of activities for the entire family to enjoy," Helgeland said. "Plus, of course, the trophy deer contest and display, always a favorite."
