EXHIBITOR TESTIMONIALS
Our weekend at the Mackay Expo 2018 was amazing with lots of enquires and leads as is every year.
DebbieIt was great to see Mackay turn out for such a good event and support the local shops and dealers.
JasonThe Home Show is a great way to promote our business to the public. We found it a great success in years past and this year was also fantasic!
JudyWe were overwhelmed with the response and interest we had before, during and after the expo due to the extra advertising packages we purchased as well as the support during the Expo from the staff members. As we don’t advertise at all throughout the year, this was a massive event for us and we have already seen the rewards.
