A River Cuts Through A Rock Not Because Of Its Power, But Its Persistance... The Tunica Show has been in existence for over 19 years. Our an- nual show brings out an array of new manufactured home designs, the latest in technology, the best suppliers' offerings and a look at all the newest amenities and system-built options the industry can offer. And just like a river that cuts through rock year after year, the Tunica Show will be around for many years to come. The Tradition . . . During its long history the "Tunica Show" has grown to include vir- tually every supplier and manufacturer who has wanted to capture the southeast market. As home designs changed, as they became more complex and more beautiful, as they incorporated state-of-the-art features that appealed to every segment of consumers, our exhibitors recognized that the showcase represented by The Tunica Show was valuable as a marketing medium. Exhibiting at Tunica offers you one of the best ways to get in front of your customers and prospects in a rel- atively short amount of time. Tunica gives you the opportunity to not only show your homes, products, or services, but also creates that all important first impression. The Tunica Show is worth the effort! The Timing . . . March is a prime time for The Tunica Show, because retailers, builder/developers, community owners/operators, and installers want to place orders and have inventory delivered in time for the spring sell- ing season. They want to have the time to investigate and compare competing manufacturers and suppliers. The Marketplace . . . In 2016 The Tunica Show registered retailers, builder/developers, community owners/operators, and installers from all over the region. The show drew 1,005 retailers, builder/developers, community own- ers/operators, and installers this past year, from an expansive region which stretched from Illinois all the way to East Texas. This is a sig- nificant coup for The Tunica Show, because it means new leads, new business rela- t i o n s h i p s , and expanded market pene- t r a t i o n . "We were pleased with the results of last year's show for all of our ex- hibitors, retailers, builder/developers, community owners/operators, and instal-lers," said Keith Bennett, SCMHI Chairman for the 2017 Tunica Manufactured Housing Show. "Our show site proved to be very successful. I heard positive comments from exhibitors talking about how much easier it was getting around the show site, as it was not spread out as it had been in the past. The service and suppli- ers enjoyed the Hollywood Casino and Hotel. This area was far supe- rior to what we had in the past; everybody seemed pleased with our location! " said Bennett. Our Expectations… In 2017, over 70 new model homes are expected to be featured at the show. The models will offer a firsthand look at the latest technol- ogy, conveniences, efficiencies and state-of-the-art design modifica- tions that have been developed during the past year. The don't-miss showcase of homes is an essential element in getting a firsthand view for retailers, builder/developers, community owners/operators, and installers as they head into the spring selling season. Innovation is more important than ever and the showcase of homes makes certain that everyone sees, understands and can fully utilize the new technol- 2017 Tunica Manufactured Hou In 2017, over 70 new mo expected to be featured
