Sign up now to exhibit at the 7th St. Louis Small Business Expo. This
one-day trade show is the largest business-to-business trade show in
the state of Missouri. The event offers companies and organizations the
opportunity to display their goods and services to thousands of
business owners and professionals in just a few hours.
The Expo is presented by the St. Louis Small Business Monthly. It will
be held on Tuesday, March 20, 2007 from 11am-6pm at the St. Charles
Convention Center by the Embassy Suites Hotel.
The previous six Expos have been sellouts and responses show that this
trend is sure to continue. Exhibitors were asked to rate the March 2006
Expo and 97.5% of those surveyed said that it was 'good' to
'excellent.'
"We have been in all the Expos and have landed clients as a result of
each one," said Suzanne Joyce, president of TechGuard Security. "The
biggest was a contact we made at the March 2005 Expo, which resulted in
a three-year, $3 million contract with the Federal Government. It meant
21 new jobs for TechGaurd."
Darlene Davis, owner of Davis Associates, began receiving calls and
making appointments the day after she exhibited. "I am happy to report
that the very next day we started receiving calls and making
appointments with potential clients who met us at the Expo," Davis
said. "Plus, we are still getting new business from people who either
met us or learned about us from the first, second and third Expos. For
us, the Expos continue to more than pay for themselves."
Debi Enders of West Community Credit Union benefited from the Expo as
well. "I was impressed with the quality of the leads generated during
the Expo. We made at least 9 or 10 appointments and received many other
qualified leads. In fact, a sale was generated the very next day."
