Knight Consulting is proud to present its first ‘Small Business Showcase Expo 2018’

and I am ecstatic about this upcoming event. It is truly my heart’s desire for small businesses to prosper and I’m honored to serve you in this capacity.

This particular Expo was created with the intentions of giving only for-profit small

businesses, whose revenue are less than $150,000 annually, a chance to showcase

their business to residents of Cumberland County and its surrounding areas.

Yes, we are bringing potential clients to you! It’s an incredible opportunity to attract

new customers, bring EXPOsure to your brand, make business-to-business connections

while networking, increase your leads and earning potential, attract potential clients

with specials offers, discounts and giveaways while promoting your business to an expected 2,000+ attendees in one day. What makes this EXPO stand out from among

the rest is that you will receive a Free Business Prep Workshop, emails blasts,

videos, tips, exclusive offers, marketing ideas and advertising opportunities throughout 2017 to help make your event even more successful.

All businesses must be pre-approved in order to participation in this EXPO. The

Exhibitor Info Packet and the full payment are due at the same time. Limited to

first come first serve basis. There will be no more than two to four like or similar businesses in the same trades. (Example: no more than two to three plumbing

companies, electricians, makeup artists, real estate complanies, crafts, etc.). Therefore,

you may not want to drag your feet on this offer in order to get the best spots!

The anticipation of excitement and unlimited opportunities awaits us at this ‘Small Business Showcase Expo’ and I’m expecting results that could change the fate of your

business for the better. I am looking forward to seeing you at the EXPO. If you have
