For over 30 years, The Southwest Virginia Boat Dealers Association has hosted this Boat Show, and is proud to host the 2010 Boat Show at the Roanoke Civic Center on February 26-28, 2010. This event has doubled in size over the last couple of years and represents a unique, once-a-year opportunity to present your business to boating-enthusiasts.

The SVBDA is making a huge effort to draw the biggest crowd yet to this event, including a massive promotional plan (detailed on reverse side), exciting exhibits of boating equipment, related products and services and much more.

The Roanoke Times and Laker Media are partnering with the SVBDA to offer a special opportunity to leverage this event to maximize impact for your business. Laker Media is producing the only Official Guide approved by the SVBDA that will include 24+ pages of great boating content – useful before the show, as a guide during the show and as a keepsake afterwards. Your presence in this guide will steer them to you at the event, and remind them of your products and services afterwards. 50,000 copies of this guide will be distributed around Smith Mountain Lake and throughout the Roanoke Valley!

The Southwest Virginia Boat Dealers Association is pulling out all the stops to make sure people across Southwest Virginia get the word about this exciting event. The promotional plan includes:
24+ page Official Boat Show Guide, 50,000 distributed in The Roanoke Times and Laker Weekly                                                                                          $24,000
