FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtual Commerce, LLC today announced the launch of Home Service Expo - the home service industry's first online home show created to showcase hundreds of  South Florida contractors, service providers and remodelers.  The Home Service Expo promises to be the leader in providing quality contractors and service providers in one central location with the added bonus of supplying attendees with a fun place to learn as well as a great social network. Home Service Expo offers many powerful tools to gather information about a variety of services and relevant topics to help homeowners improve, remodel and service their properties.

Home Service Expo is the brainchild of John Castellano and Rick Bell, two veteran home builders with over 50 years of experience in the field of construction and remodeling. The extensive online home show is hosted on the MarketPlace365 Platform, a comprehensive solution developed by Onstream Media that uses state-of-the-art search engine optimization to attract visitors to the site. 

"When the technology was first introduced to me, I immediately saw the need for this product in the local home service industry," said Rick Bell, Partner of Home Service Expo.  "The integrated online marketing tools offered within Home Service Expo will revolutionize how we use the web to promote the latest information on home products and services, everything from  lawn and garden and pest control to decorating your family room, In short, Home Service Expo will guide you to the right products and vendors you need for your project."

Home Service Expo brings the local home service industry to your door with the click of your mouse, allowing individuals to browse through hundreds of local vendors and suppliers to find the latest products and services available in your area. The show features other areas of interest for attendees, such as:

* Media Library with a variety of On-line tutorials from "How to Grow a Butterfly Garden" to "How to Find the Perfect Realtor." 

* A Conference Center will introduce keynote speakers including CEOs of Exhibitor Companies, and Other Experts in the Home Service industry.

* A Learning Center where attendees can take interesting classes from Kitchen Remodeling to Continuing Education for a variety of trades.

There are also future plans to add social media features in the Lounge that will allow Attendees, Exhibitors and Experts in the home service field to gather in chat rooms to discuss a variety of topics.  Attendees will also be able to find other social media including blogs, Facebook and Twitter in the Lounge area.

"Our Exhibitors includes Lindstrom Air Conditioning, California Closets, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Mellon Security and many more," added Bell, "Our goal is to feature over two hundred and fifty exhibitor booths within the first three months of operation in the South Florida market and then roll out in four other Florida markets this year.  We will focus our second and third years in developing four regional markets throughout the United States. This will be accomplished by developing strategic alliances with national vendors which will allow us to launch new territories starting with as many as one hundred booths in each show."
