Over 8,000 people flooded into the Fair & Expo Center in Spokane, WA, during the 2008 Premier Home Improvement Show. Records were set in public attendance and vendor participation, and nearly 30% of show vendors have already renewed for 2009.

"E&M Consulting was a great partner in the production of our Fall Festival of Homes. We had recently made a staffing change and in spite of a compressed timeframe, they were still able to double the builder participation and profitability of the event - increasing the gross revenue by $86,000. We utilized the additional funds to do both a newspaper tab, as well as a full color coffee table publication, doubling our marketing/media efforts for this event. We were amazed at how successful E&M was at involving members who had not participated in Association events for years. Their persistent but professional sales approach was well received by our members. After this experience, we contracted with them to support our Premier Home Improvement Show (they sold a record 153 booths in 3 days) and will have them back for next year's Fall Festival of Homes. I would highly recommend E&M Consulting if your association is looking for outstanding results from your events or publications."
