Let's start with a quick numbers look at the Tunica Manufactured Housing Show. Tunica was well attended, and most of those I spoke with during or since the show were pleased with their attendance. Dennis Hill and his team at Show Ways Unlimited do a great job year after year. This has been the manufactured housing industry's best attended event for some years now and all those who make it happen deserve a pat on the back for that accomplishment.
The latest report on Tunica, “By the Numbers:”
In reviewing the attendees more closely from communities, that is an area that could certainly grow. A suggestion that came to my attention more than once was from some exhibitors and attendees alike was the need for more seminars along the lines of what we had for the Louisville Manufactured Home Show this year.
Part One of our Photo Report from Tunica is online, Part Two with a look at the homes and more will come in the days ahead.
FYI, Richard “Dick” Jennison, the new president for the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) was in attendance.
The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) had their members meeting during the Tunica Show, so Danny Ghorbani and the MHARR owners were in attendance too.
Not “Exes,” Texas!
Grab your straw, Stetson or 'ten gallon hat' and get ready to rock in Houston! The Texas Manufactured Housing Association (TMHA) is forming their plans for their 2012 event, which is scheduled for August 19-21 at the Four Seasons in downtown Houston.
I've been invited to present the 'Attracting more Customers with Cash or Good Credit seminar during the Texas meeting. A number of other topics and presentations are being developed, what I heard that was in the works sounds good! I will update you on that line up as it firms up and comes in. My read on this is that their event should have 2 days of presentations and workshops with strong appeal to manufactured home retailers, communities and other industry professionals. No doubt they will enjoy the normally healthy attendance that the TMHA achieves with all of their events.
I'll keep you posted on the Texas event above as it develops. Of course thanks for stopping in and reading the Daily Business News, our hot new Feature Articles for April, and all of the other Industry news, tips and views you can use. We provide, you decide. ##
