For Immediate Release
RANDOLPH, N.J./EWORLDWIRE/Feb. 11, 2014 — For the 44th year, Big Greek Festival (http://www.BigGreekFestival.com) is creating a unique venue for small business professionals to meet with area citizens in an informal, no pressure environment.
According to St. Andrew parish council President Keith Marin, “It’s cold outside, but I can attest that things are heating up inside, starting with our leaders’ planning meeting.”
Execution on the community’s plans for the 44th annual festival are in full swing, as organizers prepare to host visitors by the thousands who are drawn each year to the Randolph community to enjoy traditional Greek food and fun, and learn more about local businesses.
“Business owners begin planning their participation for the next festival when the doors are closing on the one they’re at in the current year,” stated Marin. “We’ve already set up several vendors for our May event.”
“There are many ways to put your business in front of people, but the most effective ones involve some form of face-to-face contact,” added Marin. “Our Big Greek Festival allows businesses to tap our extensive marketing and publicity campaigns for their benefit. Our vendors know we can draw the crowds. All they need to do is ensure they’re set up when our festival opens to maximize their opportunities.”
The kinds of businesses that have chosen the St. Andrew Festival over the years have ranged from eclectic, custom jewelers to attorneys and restaurant owners – almost every type of business imaginable. In addition to traditional table space, vendors have options for reserving a room, having a feature banner in the seating area, and sponsoring other elements of the event.
Marin affirmed that “people enjoy the experience featuring a variety of entertainment and traditional dishes. People drive hours to join us every year. We welcome them to the St. Andrew community as extended family and friends.”
Last year, Big Greek Festival leveraged social media to build awareness of the event, with regular updating throughout the three days on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/biggreekfestival.com.
Closer to the Festival, a downloadable coupon will provide free admission via www.BigGreekFestival.com, along with a menu, directions and more.
