BROOKLYN, NY (June 5, 2009) - If
you're looking for new ways to market your green products, make some sales and
engage in valuable networking all at the same time, the Go Green Expo is the
perfect solution. On the heels of a show in New York City at the New York
Hilton, which yours truly had the privilege of attending, the Go Green Expo is
now ready to open shop in Atlanta, Georgia on June 26, 2009 at the Cobb Galleria
Center.
As for the New York City expo that ran from April 17-19, 2009, it was a very
successful weekend of green business, not to mention great fun. Friday the 17th,
was strictly for business-to-business marketing, while Saturday and Sunday
included Business-to-Consumer activity, which was a flurry of activity to say
the least.
Indeed, when all else in the U.S. economy is so-growth or no growth at all,
the LOHAS and green sector continues growing at a faster rate than other
industries. In 2007 alone, green product sales in the U.S. grew by a whopping
200% from the previous year. And from the look of sales taking place at the NYC
Go Green Expo booth tables, 2009 and beyond is looking just as good.
The consumer turnout was great. Costing just $10 for a weekend pass (free
admission to qualified professionals, which could very well be you!), this was
no big surprise. In addition to a great lineup of booth exhibits all selling
green and socially conscious products, there was a fantastic lineup of
activities that included screenings of original Sundance Channel green
programming, panel talk backs on green washing, sustainable business and green
leadership, prominent speakers, live music, food and even a green business
competition sponsored by NY Green Spaces - a sustainable green work space here
in NYC.
In terms of affiliate marketing, the Go Green Expo is a great opportunity to
find new green businesses to promote, many of which have affiliate programs
already in place (3R
Living was one such business in attendance). Affiliate marketing expos
like the Affiliate Summit (also taking place in NY) aren't always what they're
cracked up to be. Sometimes it's more advantageous to attend sector industry
expos and learn a thing or two about the companies and businesses you seek to
promote, rather than attend an expo of different minded affiliates and merchants
providing unrelated products and services.
As a green merchant, the benefits of attending speak for itself. The Go Green
Expo is simply a great event just for getting inspired to go green even more.
Other Go Green Expo events take place in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, in
addition to New York and Atlanta.
