The Holistic Exhibitor's Newsletter
August 05 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Greetings! As the lazy days of summer roll along you can almost forget that the busy fall expo season starts in just a few short weeks. Reports from promoters say that booths have sold briskly for the upcoming shows and many have nearly sold out already! We like to think that HolisticExhibitor has helped in this effort. The results since launching last month have exceeded our wildest hopes. We have picked up hundreds of exhibitors searching the site and added more than 80 new events, publications and expo producers. Thank you for your interest and look for major improvements in the sight by next month when all of our databases will be fully searchable. This month we offer a look at the world of expos in Asia. This rapidly growing region looks ready to explode with offerings over the next 18 months. We also explore the increasing role of the web in the production of holistic expos with a focus on how it will affect your exhibiting experience in the future. Also in this issue we will preview the improvements taking place here at HolisticExhibitor and show what it means for you. Finally we have got the official pre-release of BMSE's Spring 06 schedule for early birds out there. (It hasn't even made it into our database yet.) We hope you enjoy it all greatly and always, remember to post your events and magazines or send us an email with ideas we can bring into the website later. Enjoy. |
Holistic Events with Asian Flair |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Although many of the themes and practices at holisitc expos originated in asian cultures, few "western" exhibitors have given a thought to traveling across the Pacific to attend or exhibit at an event. Perhaps because of the language barriers and travel involved they have missed a very rapidly expanding offering of holistic themed events. In fact one of the best attended expos worldwide takes place in Australia with SMG's Mind Body Spirit Festival in Sydney. It looks like time for a quick overview of some of these expos, starting from the north in Japan and moving south through New Zealand |

One result of a better economic environment is that exhibit space must be reserved further ahead. For exhibitors this means that we can announce the bulk of our events far enough ahead that they fit into everyone's planning as much as a year in advance. For 2006 we have our stongest lineup ever. ...read on | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HolisticExhibitor Takes Off!

|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Holistic Exhibitor was designed as a site for the exhibiting community to meet your special needs for accurate event worldwide calendar of coming expos. It has grown from about 50 listings when we started, to more than 160 in just over 30 days! The site served over 1000 unique viewers in that short time. Most importantly, we have received feedback (and quite a few compliments) that will make the site better over the next few months. Next month will see a tremendous advance with fully searchable, dynamic web pages that allow far greater user guidance over the information they see. More on this next month, but for now, producers please enter your expo and company listings and if you enjoy this newsletter and the site, send this email to your friends and help everyone thrive in the "spiritual marketplace." Remember the site and all its services are totally free of charge and a service for all. |  |
