It'saWINWIN....
Put Your Business in the Spotlight

Lead Generation & New Contacts
People will give up business cards & email addresses in exchange for a chance to win a great prize in a drawing, samples or even candy & other promotional item giveaways.
New Clients, New Customers, New Business
Not only are the attendees of the event potential new clients and customers, so are your fellow sponsors and vendors! You can form new business partnerships, meet like minded business professionals.
Market Your Business Inexpensively
We all know how much advertising your business can cost. Spending that same amount or less as a sponsor is a much wiser investment that will bring a greater return on investment.With hundreds of attendees at our event who are in your target market, there is no limit to your potential ROI.
Our team would be happy to answer any questions you may have. For help, please contact Lauren Muhyedeen at 248 906-5187 or development@amhp.us.
