Jump Start Your 2007 Revenue Goals

How do the HBAs of Atlanta, St. Louis, and Chicago generate additional revenue?  The answer: having their own boosktore with BuilderBooks' Bookstore-In-A-Box.

“To legitimize our show and give it the cutting edge as one of the best in the country, we feel that we need the BuilderBooks Store at the Midwest Builders’ Show.  Having the store brings more validity to our show and offers our attendees another opportunity to further their knowledge of the home building industry.  They get even more excited when they can hear a dynamic speaker and then go out on the show floor and discover that person is also a published author with books they can buy on the spot.”

Madge Douglas
HBA of Greater Chicago
Midwest Builders’ Show

BuilderBooks'  Bookstore-In-A-Box will allow your association to earn substantial additional revenue during your local and regional events. There’s a variety of plans to make your own BuilderBooks Store work best for your event.

To learn more about this member-oriented revenue generator, contact Jackie Barnes at BuilderBooks, 1-800-368-5242, ext. 8588 or jbarnes@nahb.com .
