Eichler Remodeling Faire 2010

Keycon’s Eichler Remodeling Faire 2010 drew more than 600 adults and 40 kids for a fun and informative event at the Mountain View Community Center, May 15, 2010. And once again, the caterer kept the food and drinks coming as attendance surged beyond expectations.

Produced by remodeling contractor Keycon, Inc., the Faire helps Eichler owners “realize their remodeling dreams” in a party-themed venue. This year, Eichler homeowners met with 16 Eichler expert companies and shared some BBQ while the children played in the Faire’s Kid’s Construction and Design Center stocked with Legos, Play Doh, and other creative toys.

The crowd starts to build

As with last year’s event, Eichler Remodeling Faire 2010 was powered by Keycon owner Ron Key’s vision and relationships with Keycon’s expert partners and subcontractors. In support of the event, once again the Eichler Network provided the marketing platform and Eventbrite.com provided online event management.

Keycon’s Eichler Remodeling Faire Draws Astounding 400+ Attendees

With the Eichler Remodeling Faire (Mountain View, Calif., May 16, 2009), Keycon president Ron Key took a chance. He believed that a fun and informative event on a sunny afternoon would attract a modest number of Bay Area Eichler homeowners seeking remodeling advice and solutions. He was wrong. There was nothing modest about it. More than 400 hundred showed up.

Fortunately, Absolute Barbecue Company kept the burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and drinks coming. They were amazing.

The Eichler Remodeling Faire–which brought together Eichler homeowners and Eichler experts–would not have happened without Ron Key’s vision and his relationships with construction and design partners who participated in the event. At the same time, it would not have been possible without two social media powerhouses, the Eichler Network and Eventbrite.

With the Eichler Network, Keycon was able to pinpoint event marketing to the 7,000 South Bay and Peninsula Eichler households. The promotions included ads in the Eichler Network annual Home Maintenance Directory, an ad/insert card combo in the Eichler Network’s CA-Modern Magazine, and a followup postcard mailed to the magazine’s recipients.

Eventbrite provided a complete event landing page and registration system, which allowed Keycon to present all the event details, “sell” tickets (even though this event was free), collect customer data, and communicate with ticket buyers via scheduled email reminders. Perhaps more importantly, using Eventbrite rocketed the Eichler Remodeling Faire to Google’s top five results for “Eichler Remodeling.” Eventbrite also enabled attendees to share information about the event with friends and neighbors.
