The Brainerd Lakes Home Show & Expo took place last weekend at the Essentia Health Sports Center in Brainerd. Over 160 businesses and non-profit organizations from the region participated in showcasing their products and services at the event, providing a great opportunity for companies to connect with new customers and establish relationships with potential clients.
Small businesses like Setri Barrel Saunas and Schroeder’s Home Services benefited greatly from being able to personally engage with customers and share their business stories. Events like the Home Show allow small businesses to tailor their offerings to individual customers, helping them stand out from larger competitors. Building strong relationships with customers is crucial for small businesses to thrive in today’s market.
In addition to meeting customers, trade shows provide small business owners with the chance to network with other local businesses. Collaboration with other businesses in the community can lead to shared success and growth for all involved. Despite not being as large as trade shows in places like Las Vegas, the Brainerd Lakes Home Show offers a unique sense of community and proximity among attendees, bringing consumers, business owners, and the community together in a shared space.
The sense of community and collaboration at events like the Brainerd Lakes Home Show highlights the importance of supporting local businesses and fostering connections within the community. With few activities happening in March, this event provides a valuable opportunity for businesses to showcase their offerings and for the community to come together. Ultimately, events like this underscore the significance of building strong relationships within our local communities.
