Be part of the exciting Wedding Giveaway Promotion and meet your potential customers face-to-face at the new Wedding Expo.

Be part of the Wedding Giveaway promotion.
The Wedding Giveaway will be a prominent feature of the Weddings Special Section. One lucky couple will win a package worth thousands of dollars in wedding-related services and merchandise. The components of the prize package will be determined in part by sponsor contributions. Heavy promotion will drive readers to the Weddings Special Section to enter the Giveaway. When you donate a prize for the Giveaway, you will:

  • Be featured as a sponsor in all Express ads and Street Team promotions relating to the Giveaway.
  • Receive future advertising equal to the retail value of the donated prize (i.e., provide a honeymoon package worth $4,000 and receive $4,000 of advertising in Express).
  • Receive e-mail addresses of contest entrants.
  • Be included in the Directory of Sponsors in the Weddings Special Section.

The deadline to be included in the Wedding Giveaway Package is Friday, December 12, 2008.

Display your goods or services at the Wedding Expo.
Wednesday, January 28, 2009, 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., Washington Post Auditorium

Sponsorship packages include exhibit space at the Express Wedding Expo, taking place the same day the Wedding Special Section appears. This heavily promoted event will feature exhibitors showcasing their wedding/honeymoon products and services. Additional excitement will be created with various door prizes and giveaways. Attendees will also be invited to submit their photographs to be featured in By Invitation Only (BIO), the weekly weddings and unions announcement page of Express.
