Nationals Exhibitors

Halifax, Nova Scotia (

Canada

)
March 28th & 29th, 2009 at the Halifax Forum

CheerExpo Nationals is a Competition/Expo/Trade Show designed specifically for cheerleaders, dancers, and their coaches. It’s an all in one event with shopping, free classes, performances, and a National Championship Competition. CheerExpo has NO affiliation with any other cheerleading or dance companies so no one company will be favored at the event. CheerExpo does not sell any product so we do not pose as competition for you. Everyone is represented equally.

On March 27th– 30th, 2009 (March 28th is set up day) we will be at the Forum in Halifax. Since Nova Scotia cheerleading (and the surrounding provinces) has been essentially overlooked, it is a fresh new market for exhibitors. Here your booth is part of the main event. Competitions and classes draw people to your exhibit. Since each competition division is less than 1 1/2 hours, coaches and teams will have loads of time without distractions to only be concerned with getting information, making deals, purchasing merchandise, booking dates, and ordering stuff.

Great, but what exactly is the CheerExpo going to do for us?
1) Well, first of all, at the Expo you can sell stuff (video tapes, music, books, clothing, notebooks… whatever you want), AND you can inform coaches, sponsors and the athletes about your services and/or events. Being in the business world you probably already know that clients are much more responsive to a company that they have actually had a face to face conversation with.

2) There will be seminars for the coaches and/or cheerleaders/dancers to attend for free. If you want to promote something large scale you can do that at the seminar. You do not have to book a booth to teach a seminar. All you have to do is teach a specified (approved) class topic that is related to your service and you can show off what you can offer at the same time! All classes must be 1 hour in length. To book a seminar time slot and get your topic approved, please contact us at bookings@cheerexpo.net. NOTE: CheerExpo cannot dictate how many people will attend any seminar. This depends solely on the interest in your class topic.

3) You will be in the middle of a huge resource of contacts! You can compare what other companies are offering. Keep in mind that not only cheerleading/dance companies will be there...shoe companies, uniform companies, music companies, sign companies…every type of company that has to do with cheerleading/dance. You can set up new contracts with companies to increase your profits. You can get tons of new ideas to help sell your services and products.

Can we book more than one booth for our company?
Anyone can book more than one booth (i.e. one booth to sell products, one for promotional information, or book a double or triple to show a greater variety of products, etc.). That is entirely up to you. However, booth sharing is not permitted. You can also book more than one class/seminar slot. And you can have any combination thereof, for example, two booths and 3 class/seminars times, etc). There are also sponsorship opportunities available.

What type of company/group should come?
Fundraising, clothing, uniforms, athletic trainers, shoes, gymnastics mats and training products, music mixing services, choreographers, college or club teams wishing to recruit, dance equipment, pompons, instructors, camp/clinic companies, stereo equipment, music mixing equipment, trampolines, competition companies, signs, megaphones, team wear, gymnastics instructors/gyms, bags, jewelry and accessories, trophies and medals, dance floors, team travel specialists, practice wear, cheerleading and dance novelty items (i.e. picture frames, pillows, blankets, notepads, socks, hair clips, photo albums, etc), make-up, hair stylists/styling products, exercise equipment, gyms, university/college or club teams, books, videos, computer programs (routine choreography, music mixing, etc), photographers, sports insurance providers, First Aid/CPR instructors, coaching instructors, nutritional items (no weight loss products please), video camera dealers, cosmetics and beauty products, glitter, flags, banners, promotional products (small flags, pompons, stickers, etc) and many more.
