BUILDER INCENTIVE: In order to encourage MORE builders to attend and visit your booth, we suggest you hand out coupons to builders that visit your booth. These coupons can be a discount for products and services you offer or some other incentive. Please let us know about your incentive and we will use it in our promotions to builders. These should be “ONE NIGHT ONLY” offers.
We will also have a Bingo Game for Builders. Each booth will be randomly assigned a number. Builders will get a Bingo card upon entry to the expo and visit booths to get Bingo. Once they do, they turn their card in at a designated area for a chance to win a Yeti Cooler.
