Wisconsin Parents Association Letter to Exhibitors
November 2008
Dear Exhibitor:
Take advantage of increased opportunities to sell your products and services to a large number of highly motivated buyers: homeschoolers. Be an exhibitor at Wisconsin Parents Association's 26th Annual Home Education Conference and Curriculum Fair on Friday, May 1, and Saturday, May 2, 2009, at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. In recent years, nearly 1,000 homeschoolers have attended this conference.
Four reasons why your booth will have more shoppers:
(1) The Curriculum Fair, over 70 exciting workshops, and affordable on-site housing make this conference an inspiring and relaxing weekend for homeschooling parents, especially in tough economic times.
(2) The increasing number of workshops for the whole family is drawing more parents to the conference.
(3) In this age of the Internet, homeschoolers are grateful to take advantage of opportunities to meet you, ask you specific questions they have, and examine your products for themselves. It's a great way to showcase the products you're justifiably proud of!
(4) The conference site is close to many homeschoolers. This means increased attendance at the conference and more shoppers at your booth.
Homeschoolers will focus on your product before, during, and after the Conference.
Before the Conference: Your business can be listed on WPA's Web site with a link to your Web site. (Onsite exhibitors only.) Conference goers can sign up to shop at the Curriculum Fair during any workshop time they choose.
During the Conference: Shoppers visit your booth, talk with you, and look over your products and/or services. They also review the free literature bag each family receives.
After the Conference: Your products and services continue to be listed on WPA's Web site. Conference goers who have met you and seen your product firsthand remember it, learn more from your Web site, and contact you.
Two effective ways to be an exhibitor:
(1) Rent a booth. Sell directly to homeschoolers who have come to the conference expecting to purchase educational materials.
(2) Put your materials in the Free Literature Bag that will be given to all conference goers at no charge to them. More details are enclosed. The registration form must be sent to us by April 14, 2009.
Please note three different addresses.
(1) Send your registration form and check or credit card information to me at the WPA post office box (see below).
(2) If you will be attending the Conference and want to ship materials you will be using to the conference site ahead of time, address them to the Gruenhagen Conference Center in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. (See the enclosed Exhibitor Schedule and Fees sheet for the address.)
(3) Send literature for Free Literature Bags to the Winquists in DePere.
Take advantage of this outstanding opportunity! If you have questions, call WPA's voice mail at 608-283-3131 or email us at WPA@homeschooling-wpa.org.
Sincerely,
M. Larry Kaseman
