Your interview is part of the St. Louis Builders Home and Garden Show’s expanded advertising and promotional investment to drive more traffic to your booth at the upcoming Show.

Please look around this website. You’ll see it has a local flavor. (We’re interviewing all exhibitors!) Our editorial focus is on unique home, garden and green lifestyle products and services featured at the show and available locally.

This additional publicity is free to you because you’ve been a Show exhibitor. Your feature article will be focused on information you provide us that will help you:

• Create a year-round online presence in the marketplace
• Generate interest and curiosity about what you do and how you do it
• Showcase your expertise as the go-to person in your industry and
• Increase booth attendance at the St. Louis Builders Home and Garden Show

While this article and publicity are free, we do need you to make yourself available to us for an email interview. Additionally, we’ll need your help to develop a “real news story,” not a sales pitch. (We can give you ideas for news angles, if you need it).

To get started, please take this quick survey so that we know if you want to be interviewed.

6. Your article is then promoted on all the social media networks, such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., to give your company maximum Internet exposure and readership. Additionally, we work with other local bloggers who may also link to your article, making it even more “popular” — a good traffic generator for your company
