MEDIA
Advertizing and Promotions for last year's Gala Expo commenced three months prior through several other trade shows and community events, five billboards, radio ads and interviews, magazines, various local publications including newspaper, posters, auto banners, many websites, facebook and other network applications, and mailings. Local media was also present at the Gala Expo, and there was follow up promotions and media through two weeks after the show through newspaper and radio. The Gala Expo 2010 had been in the works even before the first one concluded. Anticipation has begun through the summer, and heavy media will take into effect in September. Specific target marketing are focused towards grads, brides and grooms throughout Atlantic Canada. However, some of the show features and incentives have mass appeal, and therefore, have used mass media. Keep an eye out on the billboards January featuring local models you may know :)
