BQ Basement Systems

This past weekend, February 19th - 22nd BQ Basement Systems exhibited in 2 different home shows that were running at the same time, the "Greater Philadelphia Home Show" at the Valley Forge Convention Center (King of Prussia) and the "Suburban Home & Flower Show" at the brand new Oaks Expo Center (Oaks).

For quite a few years now BQ has been participating in the "Greater Philadelphia Home Show" at Valley Forge, twice a year (Spring and Fall). This was the first show that they offered free admission from the time they opened on Thursday afternoon to Sunday evening. Typically this is not something an exhibitor loves to hear, however it worked out very well for BQ. Due to the 2 shows running at the same time and the repeat appearances at the Valley Forge show, BQ decided to dedicate their exhibit to Crawl Spaces and more specifically the Basement Systems product CleanSpace. It turns out that a lot of people in the Philadelphia area own homes with crawl spaces and have been putting up with the problems that they cause because they never knew there was any sort of solution for them. BQ was there to help all weekend and answer any questions that the attendees had. BQ also raffled off a SaniDry CSB. On Monday morning the employees from BQ picked the lucky winner from West Chester, PA. Not only was the attendee so ecstatic to win the SaniDry CSB but BQ is getting ready to install CleanSpace to the winner's crawl space, too.  

BQ was also very excited to participate in the new "Suburban Home & Flower Show" at the Oaks Expo Center. For years BQ participated in this show when it was hosted at a venue right "in their very own backyard" in Ft. Washington, PA. Unfortunately that venue was closed down a few years ago. When BQ heard of the new venue they signed up right away. It was always a show that brought in a large attendance. The venue itself, the Oaks Expo Center, was beautiful, everything was brand new. The show management went above and beyond to provide beautiful and eye popping exhibits. BQ's exhibit mainly featured the basement products but also had information to supply on crawl spaces, too. BQ raffled off a Triple Safe Liner with a 1/3 hp pump. On Monday the employees of BQ also picked a winner for this raffle.

After a long week of sorting leads and scheduling appointments the excitement is not over. On Friday BQ was still receiving calls from people that saw the exhibits at one of the shows and BQ expects that to continue into next week.  

A BIG THANK YOU goes out to both show management teams ACS (Valley Forge Convention Center) and D&D Expositions (Oaks Expo Center). We hope to participate, again in the future and continue to help educate the homeowners of the Philadelphia area.
