Global pet Expo sponsorship opportunities help you expand your reach beyond your booth

in unique, exciting and effective ways. Sponsorship opportunities are the easiest way to be memorable before, during and after the show. A sponsorship can boost your branding power, reach more eyes and drive new qualified buyers to your booth.

There are a limited number of sponsorship opportunities, so don’t delay in choosing one that fits your goals and your budget. It is just one more way you can expect business to follow you home.

In addition to the sponsorship you purchase, your business will be promoted in these other ways:

Your company name and booth number will be highlighted in the product preview Guide mailing to over 5,000 buyers.

Before the show, you will have use of the Global Pet Expo Sponsor logo for your promotional materials and website.

At the show, your company logo and booth number will appear on a 28' x 7' banner outside the main entrance of the show and several 22" x 28" signs throughout the main lobby and show floor. (Other sponsor’s logos will also appear on the banner and signs.)

Your company logo and booth number will appear in a “Thank You Sponsor Ad” in the Trade Show Directory and the Show Dailies that is distributed at the Show. (Other sponsor’s logos will also appear on the ads.)

On the Global pet Expo website under the Buyer, Press and Exhibitor tabs, your company logo and booth number will appear.

At the show, your company logo and booth number will be highlighted as a sponsor on the Floor plan section of the Show Directory and the Floor plan Map & City Guide. (Please note that the sponsorship must be purchased by January 11th to be included.)

On the interactive Floor plan of the Global Pet Expo website, your booth number will be highlighted as a sponsor.

On the Global pet Expo mobile site, your company name and booth will be listed as a sponsor.

After the show, a press release will be distributed to over 200 members of the press with your company name and sponsorship purchased.

Sponsorshipsmake a difference!

Our 2012 post-show survey tells us that 70% of Global pet Expo buyers recognize exhibitors from their sponsorships. Global Pet Expo attracts decision makers and qualified buyers from over 65 countries!

Global pet Expo sponsorships have been a part of our marketing strategy year after year. They increase our visibility in front of exactly the type of buyers we are there to attract. Sponsorships are great press and branding opportunities, and we find they help draw interest to our booth. Every year, there are sponsorships that really give us new and interesting ways to do that.
