I just wanted to thank you again for putting on such a great show! We have participated for over 20 years and it has always been great. I sell directly at the show and this was another great event. I also introduced a new product and I am still having sales in my store from the show.
With advertising cost going up the Flower and Patio Show has been the best way for me to get my product directly in front of the public. I also love the fact that I see and sell to customers outside my local area. These are sales I would never be able to get from my store!
Thanks again and see you next spring!

HSI Show Productions provides premier shows for a variety of exhibitors. The best part of exhibiting at both the Christmas Gift & Hobby Show and the Indiana Flower & Patio Show are the repeat customers that look for us at each show, each year. They want to know what we’ve got that is new, and they continue to shop with us online and over the phone through out the year.
Show advertising is comprehensive and truthful. When visitors and exhibitors come to the show, they can find exactly what was advertised or promised.
The show decorations are great and should be commended. HSI spends a lot of money making the show look good and they expect the exhibitors to do the same. The staff is very helpful with suggestions, booth grading and awards.
The show staff is very visible and approachable. They don’t just hide in the show office hoping there aren’t any problems. They are always on the floor, visiting with exhibitors and show visitors alike.
The Indiana State Fairgrounds facility and door staff makes move-in and out very easy. There is good parking even on those days when there are multiple events taking place.
A-Classic Expo Design is a wonderful show decorator to work with. Their staff is fast, efficient, and very reasonably priced.
But what I like most about the HSI Shows is year after year their shows continue to make us money! That makes it very easy to return. I am happy to answer any questions a potential exhibitor have regarding making an investment with HSI.

Here are a few sweet bites:
HSI and the South Bend Chocolate Company make a sweet combination. Over the past fifteen years they have helped us introduce our products and people to Central Indiana. Face-to-face marketing has built us into Indiana's chocolate company.
Great staff, great customers, great marketing!!!!

There are many reasons why I continue to exhibit at the Indiana Flower & Patio Show. I have a great respect for my customers, the staff of HSI, as well as the owners. For the past 25+ years I’ve had a lot of repeat customers purchase my products and had the opportunity to meet new clients. The feature gardens get the customers in the mood for spring and the exhibitors offer them different and new items to purchase for their yards. It’s a great relationship!!

I have been a vendor at the Indiana Flower & Patio Show for 10 years, and I will continue to be a vendor because of the fantastic results I receive when doing these shows!
I work in direct sales. At this show I have products available for purchase, but more importantly, I receive leads through the contacts I meet at these events. These contacts bring me additional income through future sales, new customers, and new recruits who wish to join the business. It’s easy to compensate the costs of doing these shows.
The Flower Show is well attended. It is a minimal cost to advertise my business through HSI Productions as compared to radio, television, and other media sources. I meet hundreds of people and I have been able to build up my business at a much quicker pace than many of my contemporaries, because of the exposure I receive at this show! Many people know to look forward to seeing me and any new product at the show. I have built relationships with many of the people who come into my booth and they in turn become lifelong customers and refer me to their friends!
I have found the staff at HSI Show Productions to be very professional and extremely helpful. They always try to accommodate my needs, and are very polite anytime I call. If you are interested in moving your business forward, finding new leads and selling your products, then HSI productions will more than fit your needs!

My first year of being a contractor at the Indiana Flower & Patio Show was 2001. I was new in the business and I was looking for a way to get my name out there and pick up good clients. Not sure what to expect, I came to the show with an open mind and left the show with sense of optimism and gratitude.
As a contractor and business owner, I have to watch my advertising dollars and track what works best. This show always brings good, quality leads for us. Even though a customer might not call this year, I have had on many occasions had a customer call and say that they picked up my stuff from a couple of years ago. There aren’t many shows that you go to that can say that.
I always get complimented on the creativity of our booth. What people need to realize is that you only have that 1-2 seconds to get people’s attention, to grab them, and give them a reason to come into your booth. If you don’t grab them, they are going to keep walking.

I really like the way you run all your shows. The staff is very professional – I can’t say enough good things about your door personnel. At the Indiana Flower & Patio Show the Gardens down the middle are the best I’ve seen anywhere. People turn out just to see those gardens. We do very well at both of your shows!

The Indiana Flower & Patio Show is definitely a high class event. I've noticed there have been several "upstart" shows around the country; usually competing with a well established one. (Phily & Cleveland to name a couple). Looking forward to returning to your flower show in the spring; my best markets are true flower shows like yours.

I enjoy the close interaction and feedback from the many guests, and the opportunity to take a few minutes to assist with their questions, and listen to some of their garden endeavors.............. we all have a great capacity to learn from one another. Have been thankfully busy with designs, so perhaps the worst of economic times is behind us.
