Marketing Toolkit

Tools for a successful market
Order Your Complimentary Marketing Tools

Invite your customers to attend the Gulf Coast Flooring Market – the only flooring trade show serving the Mississippi Coast in early 2021!

Thank you for supporting our industry and answering our buyers needs by exhibiting in the Gulf Coast Flooring Market! We appreciate your continued support! In order to maximize your experience with us, we’ve created a Marketing Toolkit to help you promote your presence at this year’s market. All the items within the toolkit are complimentary and included in your exhibit space fees.

We are working on updating these tools to reflect our new May date pattern. Please check back soon to order your updated tools.

Tips for success:

9 times out of 10 a buyer comes to market at the invitation from their exhibitors.  By promoting your presence at market, you are helping to ensure that your company will have a successful market. Bring your A-game to market by showing your brand in a well-designed booth display, offer market incentives and entertain your customers with giveaways, food & beverages and more.

All assets are provided by Market Maker Events and you are free to edit and use the images as needed.

If you would like Market Maker Events to set these up for you, please fill out our Marketing Toolkit Order Form or contact Sammie Baker.

Free Access to customizable marketing assets

The Dealer Invites Program is offered to all exhibitors at the Gulf Coast Flooring Market and includes customized brand assets to share with your current and prospective dealers so you can build your lead list and drive traffic to your booth.

How It Works

Exhibitors will receive a dashboard link with their custom landing page, email template, and banner ad. We’ve already set them up for you!

Simply access your dashboard link and review the tools. You can update your company information and logo if needed. When you’re ready to send to your customers, you upload your email list* and hit send. Your customers will then receive a personalized invitation to market.

*Lists are private between you and Feathr. Show management has no access to your lists.
Benefits

We have found 80% of buyers come to trade shows because their supplier personally invited them to attend.

The Dealer Invites Program helps with marketing tools, but also digital tracking. Exhibitors can track how their customers are interacting with their emails and landing page (email opens, website clicks, etc.).
