It's no secret that sifting through the volume of business cards dropped off at your trade show booth is time consuming and, most often, costly and of no benefit. By the time a sale is finally made from the show (that you spent perhaps thousands of marketing dollars exhibiting in) an enormous amount of lost time and effort has been spent following dead-end leads. eXpo Magic works with you to identify interested customers that visit your booth. We assist you in determining which trade show leads are hot and which are cold. We save you time and money by narrowing the path your sales representatives must follow after the show...a path that leads to the doors of customers that specifically request information from your company. How does eXpo Magic deliver benefits that are targeted to increase customer awareness and increase revenue? eXpo Magic has a lead management system that consists of pre-show mailers (all targeted industry/region specific), a targeted business analysis, a trade show analysis and spec
ialized and standard post-show follow-up. eXpo Magic also offers traditional show services such as coordination/organization, freight, communications, booth storage and graphics design. We look forward to the possibility of assisting you with your trade show needs.

I have been working with OMAFRA as the pest management specialist for
greenhouse floriculture since 1988. Prior to that I worked for more than 10
years in pest management research in Australia (not in greenhouses). My job
is to develop IPM programs for greenhouse flower growers and to help growers
implement them. This includes monitoring systems, pesticide reduction and
biological control. I am also involved in applied research trials in
commercial greenhouses looking at biological control agents and in trials
with pesticides to assist in the registration process.

Energy efficiency is our principal area of research. One of our projects is concerned with the reduction of heating costs of greenhouses through the use of underground heat exchanger-storage systems. Up to now the reasearch has been theoritical but we are now elaborating the experimental phase of the project. If any greenhouse growers within Quebec are interested in a joint venture with our research group please contact me.
