Why exhibit at the Home Show?

AFFLUENT CONSUMER TARGET
Truckee/Lake Tahoe is a second-home vacation resort market. The second-home clientele is an affluent consumer. They are highly educated and appreciate new technological advances presented at the show. This show is modest in size, but brings a very high return to the exhibitors displaying. The most common comment from exhibitors is how "qualified the attendees are." The show is marketed as the one stop for those serious about building or remodeling homes in the Sierras. What we get are consumers ready and able to buy ... some with plans in hand, others looking for ideas. The Memorial Day weekend is the prime time to reach this audience while they are in town for the three day weekend and at the start of the building season.

HOME CONSTRUCTION CONCEPT
The concept for the Truckee Home and Building Show is to bring all the services and suppliers affiliated with the local home construction industry together, at one time, under one roof. Then, through extensive marketing, we invite the public inside to, personally meet these professionals, obtain contacts, collect ideas and get bids. All products and services used in new construction, remodeling, redecorating and landscaping are appropriate for the show.

WORLD CLASS LOCATION
The Truckee Home & Building Show is presented in the heart of the High Sierras with tall pines, mountains and lakes as its backdrop. The show is held at the Truckee High School, located just off Interstate 80 and about 15 miles north of Lake Tahoe.

INFLUENTIAL SHOW SPONSORS
Sierra Pacific Power and Truckee Donner Public Utility District join forces to present this show and provide information on the latest technology in energy use for home building, remodeling and energy conservation.

HIGH TECHNOLOGY EXHIBITS
The Truckee Home & Building Show has been introducing the newest construction technologies to the local area. Geothermal heat pump technology is being warmly received in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe market since its presentation at the shows. Wind, solar and micro-hydro electric generating
systems, expanded polystyrene insulated concrete forms and home automation systems are some examples of other technologies that have made their debut at the Home Show. The Home & Building Show is always looking for new items to present to the area.
