The Port O’Connor Visitor Center and PortOConnor.com will be participating in the 38th Annual Houston Fishing Show in March to promote our area to fishing enthusiasts and tourists. Dozens of area guides, vacation rentals, hotels, restaurants and other businesses will be represented for the purpose of encouraging fishermen to consider Port O’Connor as a fishing destination.
“We’re excited to have this opportunity to showcase Port O’Connor at the largest consumer fishing show in the country,” said Leah Richter-Griffin, Executive Director of the Port O’Connor Visitor Center. “Our goal will be to help show attendees realize the advantages of choosing Port O’Connor over other possible fishing locations.”
The Visitor Center will have a large, strategically located booth at the show. Participating businesses will be actively promoted to attendees and PortOConnor.com will provide sponsored giveaways each day of the show to help generate lead inquiries to share with businesses.
“We want to remind attendees that they can find a full range of resources at PortOConnor.com to help them with the planning of their trip to POC,” explained Bret Williams, President/CEO of novusweb llc, owners and operators of the Port O’Connor Visitor Center and PortOConnor.com. “The featured businesses on PortOConnor.com enjoy premium exposure to the online audience. The Houston Fishing Show allows us to extend this exposure in face-to-face conversations with potential visitors.”
The 38th Annual Houston Fishing Show will be held at the George R. Brown Convention Center from Wednesday, March 6th through Sunday, March 10th, 2013. Thousands of people attend the show each year to examine the latest in fishing boats, gear and travel destinations.
Port O’Connor businesses that are interested in participating in the Visitor Center booth should contact Leah Griffin at (361) 550-9624 as soon as possible. Due to space limitations, there are only a limited number of available participation opportunities remaining. In addition to active representation at the show, participants will receive a list of all booth visitor registrations for marketing purposes.
Up to date show information regarding participating businesses, show schedules and more will be included on PortOConnor.com in the near future.
