OLEAN, NY - What is a Home Show Palooza 2021? The HS Palooza is a combo in-person one-day event and a virtual palooza of options to participate through online demos, live videos, a virtual guide and printed passport - all showcasing home show vendors. Home Show Palooza 2021 will be held in the Olean area May 14-27, 2021.
Meme K. Yanetsko, GOACC COO reported, “As the entire world enters into a ‘new’ normal, Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce is presenting a new option for this year’s Home Show. GOACC is partnering with Olean Times Herald in the promotion efforts for our vendors. The normal route at the Olean Rec Center wasn’t an option as the numbers for inside large gatherings wouldn’t be conducive for our show. A member committee/board member mentioned the pavilion in Lincoln Park as an option for a one-day show … great idea!”
Like the popular Farmers Market but a home renovation market ... with options for more space available throughout the park. This will be held Friday, May 21, 2021. Those two alternatives bring a limit of 40 businesses.
“The Chamber tossed in virtual and in-your-store choices,” added Erica Dreher, GOACC Member Services Manager. “We feel that vendors will get a great promotion bang for their buck! The list of opportunities is below. Please give us a call with questions.
There are four options for HS Palooza ’21: Virtual Vendor, Booth Space, Park Space, and Virtual Palooza Vendor.
• The VIRTUAL VENDOR has lots of great benefits: quarter page ad in the home show guide; a 30-second video of your business product/service for the show and your use after (This is limited to the first 20 vendors to sign up with payment); promotion of your business for 14 days from May 14-27th consisting of ads in the Bradford Publishing Company’s publications, Olean Times Herald online directory, website listing, social media posts, Facebook event page posts; and placement of your business on the Palooza’21 savings passport.
• The BOOTH SPACE consists of a 10x10 space under the pavilion, one 8-ft table
provided, no chairs; and all options under virtual vendor.
• The PARK SPACE comprises a 10x10 space in the park, one 8-ft table provided, no chairs, no tent; and all options under virtual vendor.
• The VIRTUAL PALOOZA VENDOR option has one of ten Facebook Live demos during Palooza ’21 week; and all options under virtual vendor.
The option fees range from $250-350 with discounts for GOACC members.
Why should you attend the Home Show? As Yanetsko explains, “Home Show Palooza events are designed for homeowners - such as yourself - who are in all stages of remodeling, landscaping and decorating their homes. Each of our events includes home improvement and remodeling exhibits with product demonstrations and sample interior and exterior vignettes. Many of our exhibitors go to great lengths to provide you with visual, interactive experiences designed to stimulate your creativity and dreams for your home improvement plans.”
GOACC is committed to bringing a full slate of events to the community. GOACC’s top priority remains in the health and safety of its guests, vendors, volunteers and all involved who help make these events GREAT!
