Advertisers interested in these events can buy an advertising and booth-space package to showcase their brands and products to their customers and other members of the public whom CATS Classified attracts to these events through stage activities, contests, talks, lucky draws and more. Visitors keen on specific products and services are also naturally drawn by the large number of advertisers from the same or related industries gathered under one roof.
