It's all about exposure for your company and your products.

Since 2005, our EarthCraft certified showcase homes have been visited by hundreds of building industry professionals, allowing them to see our sponsor's products installed and operating in a completed home.

This year's sponsors will enjoy exposure from the 2008 Southern Building Show attendees; inclusion in the showcase brochure, the long-term EcoLumina.org web site; local and national media coverage; and ongoing visits from trade and consumer groups subsequent to the show date.

A four-color showcase brochure featuring the project sponsors and their products will be the centerpiece of the show program, distributed to each of the over 7,000 building professionals attending the show.

EcoLumina is only 10 minutes from the 2008 Southern Building Show location. Buses will carry participants to the house for tours during the show and to several planned events that will take place at the house after show hours including: sponsor receptions, product demonstrations, prize drawings for visitors, and professional education seminars. The house can be made available for private events by sponsors upon request. Sponsors will have an ideal opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions with building professional and to demonstrate their products in the home.

The extensive EcoLumina.org web site will house, on a long-term basis, in-depth information about green building and green products. The site will be segmented by interest group: builder, consumer and legislative. National and local media support will help drive traffic to the site before and long after the 2008 Southern Building Show providing lasting visibility to participating sponsors.

We are currently negotiating local and national media partnerships and will announce them shortly. These publications will be covering the project through construction, combined with a comprehensive public relations campaign that will provide widespread media coverage directing readers to EcoLumina.org.

After the show, the owners of the home will continue to open the house to trade, consumer and legislative groups in order to continue their dedication to green building education. For example, they?ve partnered with the City of Sandy Springs to open the home to visiting groups from locally-based Fortune 500 companies such as UPS, Cox and Newell-Rubbermaid.
