Benchmark II, LLC
Western NC Bridal Show Canceled
Benchmark II, LLC Continues to Help Small Businesses
BESSEMER CITY, NC - August 1, 2011 - The Western North
Carolina Bridal Show held annually in Hickory, NC has
been canceled. Due to lack of exhibitor commitments
during strategic marketing windows, the 2012 show is
unable to meet financial commitment deadlines. "Given
the current economic uncertainty small businesses cannot
seem to plan nor budget for future growth at this time,"
says Allison Gahrmann, lead Show Producer and owner
of Benchmark II, LLC. Ms. Gahrmann has been producing
shows since 1985 as a way to promote small businesses.
The Hickory Metro Convention Center has been housing
a bridal show for the past 14 years. "We hope bridal
shows will continue at the Convention Center; however,
producers may have to look to larger companies to sustain
them. Ultimately, this could make it even more difficult
for small businesses to thrive. Helping small businesses
continues to be our focus. We, ourselves, are one. We
understand the need."
Benchmark II, LLC (benchmarkii.com) will continue to
provide support services for businesses on an as-needed
basis. From simple, yet time consuming administrative
tasks to business plans, small to medium businesses
(SMB) can utilize Benchmark II's services to increase
productivity without increasing overhead. Services are
priced by the hour, weekly and/or by individual job.
