About the Show

The Small Home Expo is about people who seek to have their lives reflect their values of being kind to the planet, living healthier lives, and having more flexibility. We connect them to vendors who can provide products and services that make small homes like condominiums, townhouses, and tiny houses look beautiful, enrich their lives, and contribute to a greener environment.
Whether fueled by economic, social or environmental reasons, the trend to live healthier lifestyles in smaller spaces continues to grow. Home organization becomes more important as we downsize. Millennials are buying or renting their first home, Baby Boomers are downsizing, and the interest in purchasing a Tiny Home has become a huge movement, especially throughout the West Coast. And all the things that make life in those smaller homes wonderful, including meals, furnishings, and technology, are in higher demand than ever before. The payoffs for living smaller are economic freedom, less carbon footprint, and lifestyle improvements. As we continue to see these trends grow, the demand for products and services for living well in a small space will skyrocket.

What about attendees?

How is the small Home Expo Marketed?

We market the Small Home Expo much the same way we market all of our other shows: using a combination of social media posts and paid advertising, paid web advertising, conventional print advertising, marketing at other events, signage, and marketing through our Exhibitors. We are heavily invested in online methods of advertising, because we know where our dollars go, and what part of our marketing is working.

We’re very interested in working with each of our Exhibitors on a 1:1 basis to form creative partnerships, and exploring all sorts of fresh ideas. If you’ve got an idea, reach out to our Marketing Manager, Peggy Richardson.

Why Exhibit?

Connect With New, Motivated Customers

Nearly 6,000 small space enthusiasts attended the inaugural show in 2019. Our 2022 Event was approximately the same size. This will only get bigger! Capture motivated buyers who are looking for products and services to buy for their small space.

Your investment includes much more than a booth.

Our philosophy of “Beyond the Booth” means that we want to form partnerships with our Exhibitors that help them market their businesses year-round. (We do this for our other events, the Fraser Valley Wedding Festivals and the Westcoast Wellness Show, too.) This means things like finding ways to cross over other marketing, social media mentions, and plain, old-fashioned referrals that happen literally every day.

• YEAR-ROUND marketing of your business, including social media and cross-exposure
• Listing in our web-based directory
• Social media post highlights
• Complimentary tickets for your customers*
• Private Facebook Group for Exhibitor networking and support
• FREE display ad space in the show guide, Small Home Lifestyles with early booth booking!

*Limited quantity allocated to each Exhibitor, included with your booth.
** Please see your booth rep for details. Upgrades available.

“As an exhibitor who does trade shows year round, I didn’t know what to expect from the Small Home Expo.  To our surprise, the turnout was PHENOMENAL and we only had a our outdoor tent display showing and ended up with a lot of client leads.  Despite it just being only for two days, we will definitely be bringing out our ShelfGenie kitchen display to really showcase our work as we felt the attendance was worthwhile to making the effort to putting out our best foot forward next year!  The organizers were great to work with as well. Thank you.”
