I just wanted to write to tell you how thankful we were that we made your show our official launch into Victoria this year following the success we had at the Brisbane show. The show was very well run and most importantly for us attracted out target market (the off-road community)and lots of them. We gained a considerable amount of publicity just by attending the show and as far as generating public awareness of our brand (our main goal) is concerned it was money that was very well spent. We will definitely be back next year and looking forward to growing our product through your shows. Dan Bosschieter Business Development Manager Conqueror Australia
Exhibitions need to be much more than static displays, they need to be a location to see the latest in products and services along with interactive displays and top quality entertainment. They need to be a place where visitors can speak to the experts in the industry, compare products, purchase products and be entertained and with this event having an average 3 hour attendance for visitors, this proves this show provides just that. Mark Petersen Event Manager Exhibitions & Trade Fairs Couplertec Electronic Rustproofing has been an exhibitor at these shows for the past 12 years and it is obvious that the EFT staff know how to promote shows. Our sales have increased dramatically at this show over the past few years; this can only be credited to increased visitor numbers, a bigger and better show venue and a fantastic marketing team driving the show. Please thank all of your staff for making these shows so successful. Garry Bell Director CouplerTec

The National 4x4 & Outdoors Show, Fishing and Boating Expo is one of Australia’s biggest off-road, touring, towing, fishing and boating expos. Held once again on the Father’s Day weekend (2 – 4 September 2011) the show is expected to sell even more space and offer even more products and services for the outdoor enthusiasts. Returning to the Melbourne Showgrounds for a 3rd year, crowd numbers are expected to once again reach the 34,000 plus mark and exhibitor numbers are tipped to hit the 200 plus mark. The weekend is action packed, with not only all the latest products and services on offer but there is also a huge entertainment line up, with the Action Arena, Waeco Outback Stage and Fishing Stage holding demonstrations all weekend. Dad, mum and the kids are guaranteed to have a great day out and it’s more than likely that they won’t be going home empty handed. If you are in the 4wd, touring, towing, fishing or boating industry this opportunity to showcase your company is an opportunity not to be missed.

Benefits Of Exhibiting Extensive Advertising/Marketing/PR Campaign The extensive visitor campaign that accompanies this event covers a large proportion of media available, including billboards, TV, radio, news print, magazines, direct mail, internet and social media. The aim with such a diverse campaign is to target the key enthusiasts along with the future clientele within the industry. A dedicated PR team is contracted to assist in mainstream exposure, letting the public know of new products and services to be displayed at the show and this provides exhibitors a great opportunity to promote their product or service. The show also connects with the market and aligns itself with people like Simon Christie from 4wd TV, Pat Callinan from 4x4 Adventures, Spida Everitt from The Great Australian Doorstep, Paul Worsteling from Ifish plus so many more. Gone are the days where consumer exhibitions are static events, visitors want to see all the latest products, compare products and services available on the market and directly purchase at the show, but they also want value for money. This show offers a comprehensive action arena with entertainment including, monster trucks, freestyle Moto x, full 4wd test track, fishing simulators, special guests, major prizes and so much more, and with over 200 exhibitors, this show will continue to be the leader for consumer shows within Australia, as it provides the complete exhibition experience.
Company listing on website and in show guide Approximately 4 weeks prior to the show your company name, contact details, website and stand number will be advertised on our website so visitors know that you will be at the show. Your company name and stand number will also be listed in the show guide along side the floor plan so visitors know exactly where to find you when they get to the show.
Promote products/services to over 33,000 visitors For the past 2 years over 33,000 visitors have attended the 3 day show and 2011 is expected to be just as big if not bigger. This is a great opportunity to generate sales leads, make direct sales and build a qualified database. It’s also a great opportunity to build brand awareness.
Opportunity to launch/demonstrate the use of products and services The Fishing Stage and Outback Stage give you the opportunity to do demonstrations/launch new products in front of a captive audience. It is your opportunity to show the audience exactly how your product/service works. A full timetable for the stages is published on the website and in the show guide so visitors know exactly what is on. In addition, your stand provides you with the platform to do demonstrations/offer advice.
One stop shop for visitors Just about everything the outdoor enthusiast could want will be found at the show. It is a visitor’s best opportunity to compare products and services and talk to the experts. If visitor’s want a one stop shop for their outdoor needs then this is the show they will come to. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to show case your product/service, especially if your competitors are at the show.
Discounted entry tickets Exhibitors at the show received discounted tickets for their clients, family and friends. The best part is, we can give you as many tickets as you like, and we will only charge you for what is redeemed at the door. So if we give you 100 tickets, and only 20 are actually used, we only charge you for 20.
Invitation to drinks function You and your staff members on your stand are invited to the drinks function to relax, meet new exhibitors and interact with the organisers. Reptiles were the special guests at the 2010 function, and no doubt the 2011 function will be just as thrilling.
