Title: Visit GreatLakesBass.com at Booth 2355 during the Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit
Post by: djkimmel on December 14, 2009, 11:31:56 PM


I'm excited to announce GreatLakesBass.com will have a booth - 2355 - at the Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit (http://www.ultimatefishingshow.com) - Michigan's BIGGEST pure fishing show January 7 through January 10, 2010.

This means the opportunity exists now for a limited number of you to get in free as GreatLakesBass.com 'show staff.' I'll need a handful of volunteers to hang out in the booth for the times I can't be there, or need to handle other activities.

In exchange for a couple hours 'work' I can get you an exhibitor's pass into the show. The work won't be too hard. I promise. Mostly just telling anyone who asks about the site and handing out some information when necessary. I already know most of you like talking about fishing ;D

I expect most of it will be saying hello to fellow members who stop by to meet you and I. I hope many of you do stop by.

If you're coming to the Ultimate Fishing Show (http://www.ultimatefishingshow.com), or want to come, and would be willing to help out for a short time, please let me know on here or PM or contact me (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/fishing/contact.html). Even if just want to stop by and say hey, let me know! Look for GreatLakesBass.com in booth 2355.

Here are the show times:
Thursday, January 7   
Friday, January 8     
Saturday, January 9   
Sunday, January 10   
 2pm - 9:30pm
12pm - 9:30pm
10am - 9pm
10am - 5pm

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the BIG show!!

The Ultimate Fishing Show (http://www.ultimatefishingshow.com) is at the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, Michigan, 46100 Grand River Drive between Novi Rd and Beck Rd.

This is awesome news Dan. Look forward to seeing your there!
You know I am committed for the entire show but if I can help any other way let me know!.
May be we can do something between Grandt and GLB just for the show.

That would be awesome Dave. I'm try to figure out what new rod I should buy this year... trying to decide what I need the most.

I plan on offering to all of the great companies who support GreatLakesBass.com the opportunity to give me some handouts or some opportunity to promote something they have going on at or around the show. I have to design a booth too!

I have some ideas already. Anyone have ideas, please PM me or contact me some other way and share them. Some 'my' best ideas are not my ideas ;D I try to remember to give credit and don't mind being reminded :)

Thanks to all of you who have volunteered so far to help at the booth. I can use 4 or 5 more persons to spread things out. I know you can all talk fishing! That's all it will mostly entail. If I do anything more complicated, I'll make sure someone who is 'highly trained' is in the booth ;D

I sent a msg thru the "advertise" section.  Look forward to trying to help there with some stuff if you want/need it.  If not now, later is fine too; I'm just excited to try and help with the show, flat out.

Sorry for not being clear, Dan.  I did get the msg a bout the schedules coming soon.  I had sent another thru the advertise section of GLB yesterday regarding products for the show.

I think part of my confusion is that I'm not sure I got that one. I will check to see if there is a problem with the form or email address. I've been getting a lot more spam lately too so if I wasn't careful enough I may have accidentally deleted it.

I am going to offer out that anyone who wishes to donate some product for giveaways would be much appreciated. I have some ideas on free giveaways to promote new membership in the web site. Probably have on-site sign-up for people once I work out some logistics.

Dan,

I am available that Thursday if you want help.  I can't do Fri thru Sun though.  I can be free the whole time if needed.

Also, what kind of free stuff do you need?  I can give you free bowling passes or parties in Waterford if that would work.  I can also try to get stuff from my beer distributors if you want stuff with beer logos on it.

you can email me at
fbenn12122000@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Frank

I don't think Humminbird has a separate booth there this time. One of the reps may be at the show at times. I hope to lure him to the booth for a few minutes. I imagine there will be several vendors selling Humminbird that you can talk to.

If you know anyone who is not a member of GreatLakesBass.com or if you are a 'lurker' on here, come on down to the Ultimate Fishing Show - booth 2355 near the west wall down from the trout pond. As long as supplies last, everyone who signs up to be a member of GreatLakesBass.com at the show can choose from samples of HOT new Xtreme Bass Tackle lures and other great prizes.

There are bonus prizes to be give out to random members such as t-shirts, hats, 10 person bowling parties from Airway Lanes in Waterford (http://www.airwaylanes.com) and a lucky random new member from the show will receive a beautiful 6' 6" medium action All American bass spinning rod made by Grandt Rods (http://www.grandtrods.com). Everyone who took a look at the rod at the show wanted a chance to win it!! Grandt has a huge 50 foot booth at the show with rods for all budgets and tastes available.

Please stop by and check out the mount of the BIG peacock bass too!! And for sale - Nemesis Baits (http://www.nemesisbaits.com), Tightlines Tackle (http://www.tackle2trade.com/shop.php?name=Downriver-Bass-Fishing&user_id=100018), Lakemaster maps, Xtreme Bass Tackle Great Lakes Perch tubes, GreatLakesBass.com decals (after 5 PM Friday) and a limited supply of GreatLakesBass.com hats and t-shirts along with a few other items (the winter weather has delayed a few things I wanted to have for the show, but there is still time)!!!
