As a new business, we registered for the Home Show 2025 as a way to get exposure and meet more business connections. The leads that we got from the show more than paid for the booth fee, and we came away with great connections from not only the show attendees but also the other vendors. The show is extremely well organized and a highlight for the Airdrie community. We would highly recommend being a part of the Airdrie Regional Home and Lifestyle Show, especially as a local small business. We are excited to be in the show again this year!

The Airdrie Home & Lifestyle Show is an all-around great experience. As a business based in Calgary but serving Airdrie all the time, this show gives us great exposure to Airdrie customers. It also allows us to showcase our business. Often customers do not realize we do more than carpet cleaning and it is a good way to let them about all our cleaning services.

As owners of Dang Good Carpet and Furnace Cleaning, we have attended a few home shows across the province and this one is by far the most organized, the most professional and the most fun. There is a great atmosphere and the weekend files by. The show is a valuable way to reach out to Airdrie and gain new customers. We are so impressed by this show, it features prominently in our blog called: “Airdrie Trade and Home Shows,” which we updated recently. In it we highlight that the admission fee is still only $5 per person giving families an affordable fun day out. Last year we sponsored the bingo card which was a clever way to bring people to our table who might not have given us a second look otherwise and it was cool to hear so many say “oh yes, I’m going to need your services soon, let me take a card…” Having done the show now for a few years we have built up relationships with other vendors at the show too which has been invaluable.

This was our first year taking part in the Airdrie Home & Lifestyle Show, and, despite the months that have already passed, we still look fondly at our time spent there. The Airdrie community has shown us great support, and the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce's own kindness in organizing such a welcoming event truly exemplifies the qualities that set Airdrie's community apart. We found the event to be highly beneficial in helping establish Gummi Boutique as a staple in Airdrie, both due to the better-than-expected sales volume and the opportunity to network with other like-minded businesses and individuals. It was our pleasure to attend, and we look forward to seeing what the next year brings for Gummi Boutique at the Airdrie Home & Lifestyle Show.
