2014 PSP Expo expands commercial offerings

Careful review of the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo attendance demographics, a comprehensive look at the state of the construction industry and a thorough analysis of the pool, spa and outdoor living industry, are the key factors in a launch of the Commercial segment expansion at the 2014 International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo.

PSP Expo will feature a Commercial Pavilion, on-floor Education Classroom, exhibitor commercial product listings in the show program and other marketing resources to make finding the commercial information at the show simple.

Recent historical analysis of the PSP Expo attendee demographics showed a rise in the number of commercial attendance. In 2013, nearly 40 percent of the PSP Expo attendees stated they work within some portion of the commercial segment of the industry. This information, coupled with MetroStudy’s data on the steady rise in commercial construction projects and the feedback from leaders in the pool, spa and backyard industries triggered the need for PSP Expo to offer the same great level of service, products, exhibits and networking opportunities they have primarily provided to the residential segment, to the commercial segment as well. A complete list of commercial show offerings can be located at www.PoolSpaPatio.com/Commercial.

“It is our goal to see the entire pool, spa and backyard industry grow and succeed,” said Tracy Garcia, CEM, director, International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo. “The commercial segment expansion will provide some key insights for our commercial attendees. The show will continue to grow this segment each year in order to provide the critical business tools and information for business success for all attendees.”
