Crowded aisles at the Energy Trust Better Living Show

Why This Show? 

The Energy Trust Better Living Show will increase your sales and allows you to build relationships face-to-face with an audience you are not currently reaching.

Here's what our audience of over 20,000 looks like. Median age was 48 with an average income of $80,000 (see more info below). Many exhibitors shared with us that customers at the show mentioned they do not attend other shows in town.

In order to grow the sustainable practices of consumers, (and increase demand for your green products/services), we all must reach out to the mainstream audience.

The Better Living Show delivers a mainstream audience that's hungry for more:  more products, more services, more resources to lead a more sustainable life.

What Our Exhibitors Say

 

What a GREAT show! Excellent and extensive upfront marketing ensured a tremendous turnout. The socio/economic demographic of the crowd was perfect for our Energy Saving Structural Insulated Panels. I was proud to walk up and down the aisles and peruse all the other products offered at the show. It was thrilling to see how warmly the public is embracing the "Green" Concept. But what else would you expect? Portland is the best place on earth! 

Laura Johnson, Panel Source, inc.

 

The best 3-day show ever! I've never seen so many people (public) come to a show. They came to find out information, exchange ideas and to actively find business who believe in earth friendly sustainable practices. It was exciting to see so many people willing to make "a step forward" in earth friendly practices.

Terry & Nancy Gibson, Waterstones Garden Accents

 

Excellent staff support, effective show advertising and all around professional handling of the Better Living Show made this an excellent experience for us. We had the highest sales ever at a trade show. Thank you! 

Lynn Hanrahan, Mirador Community Store


The Better Living Show was incredibly organized and well executed. We had a great time connecting with customers and business partners. We look forward to the second annual show!

The City of Portland appreciated the opportunity to participate in the first annual Better Living Show and to highlight the many ways the City and its residents are advancing sustainability in their everyday lives. With Energy Trust of Oregon as the presenting sponsor and by making the Show free for attendees, the Show is helping to spread the sustainability message to new audiences throughout the region.
