At ProExpoLV, we donโ€™t just organize eventsโ€”we build experiences, create connections, and bring communities together. And when it comes to seniors, we believe they deserve events that are engaging, valuable, and tailored to their needs. But why focus on seniors? Because theyโ€™re one of the most dynamic, loyal, and engaged audiences out thereโ€”and they deserve spaces where they can discover, connect, and thrive. ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜, But Theyโ€™re Overlooked Letโ€™s be realโ€”most marketing efforts today are obsessed with Millennials and Gen Z. But what about the 55+ community? They control 70% of disposable income in the U.S., are more likely to be brand loyal, and value in-person interactions more than any other demographic. At ProExpoLV, we saw an opportunity to create events specifically designed for seniors, where businesses can connect with them face-to-face, answer questions in real-time, and build meaningful relationships. ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€: ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—•๐—ผ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ตโ€”๐—” ๐—š๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ When we started these expos, we knew they had to be more than just another trade show. They had to be places where seniors feel valued, welcomed, and excited to engage. So, we designed an event that: โœ… Provides Real Value to Attendees โ€“ From healthcare insights to financial planning to fun lifestyle products, seniors leave with practical solutions that improve their lives. โœ… Creates a Fun, Engaging Atmosphere โ€“ Giveaways, raffles, live demosโ€”this isnโ€™t a boring business expo; itโ€™s an experience. โœ… Helps Businesses Tap Into an Underserved Market โ€“ If your business serves seniors, thereโ€™s no better way to connect than meeting them where they are. But Letโ€™s Talk Businessโ€”Whatโ€™s In It for You? If youโ€™re a business owner, you might be thinking, โ€œSounds great, but does this actually make financial sense?โ€ We hear you. So, letโ€™s break it down. ๐Ÿ“Š The ROI of Senior Exposโ€”Letโ€™s Do the Math ๐Ÿ’ฐ Booth Cost: $625 per expo (or just $450 if you book 5+ events) 16 expos a year = $7,200 instead of $10,000 if you go all-in. Thatโ€™s $2,800 saved! ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Attendees Per Event: 200+ attendees who are active buyers Only 40 exhibitors, so youโ€™re not drowning in competition 3-hour events = plenty of time for real conversations and conversions (Bonus Tip: Bring snacks! Seniors love a good treat, and trust usโ€”it works. ๐Ÿช) ๐Ÿ“Œ Potential Sales Per Event: Baseline: 10 attendees buy your $100 product/service = $1,000 revenue Best-case: 50 buyers = $5,000 revenue ๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—œ ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป ๐ŸŸข ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐Ÿญ: The โ€œI Just Showed Upโ€ Approach Revenue per event: $1,000 Annual revenue (16 expos): $16,000 Total cost: $7,200 Profit: $8,800 ROI: 122% ๐Ÿš€ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐Ÿฎ: The โ€œI Actually Talked to Peopleโ€ Approach Revenue per event: $5,000 Annual revenue (16 expos): $80,000 Total cost: $7,200 Profit: $72,800 ROI: 1011% What If You Only Do ONE Expo? Hey, we get it. Maybe you just want to test the waters. Letโ€™s see how that looks: ๐Ÿ“Œ Cost: $625 ๐Ÿ“Œ Minimum Revenue (10 sales x $100): $1,000 ๐Ÿ“Œ Best-Case Revenue (50 sales x $100): $5,000 ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—œ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฌ% ๐˜๐—ผ ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ%, ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ.
