An Eye-Catching Presence at the Show
Diggermate secured a prime location near the entrance, ensuring maximum visibility. With a lineup of machinery on display—including mini excavators, mini loaders, skid steer loaders, ride-on mowers, site dumpers, and more—visitors could see the equipment up close and get a better understanding of how it could work for their projects. The team was hands-on, engaging in conversations and making sure attendees left with a clear picture of what Diggermate has to offer.
Anthony French, Diggermate Rosebud franchise owner, shared his thoughts on the event:
The Red Hill Show was an incredible opportunity to get our name out there and connect with the local community. We had great conversations with homeowners, tradies, and business owners who now know exactly how Diggermate can help with their projects. It’s events like these that really reinforce our presence in the region.”
Giveaways and Real Conversations
To make the experience even more interactive, Diggermate handed out a range of popular giveaways, including squishies, colouring books, and other Diggermate merch.
These items helped keep Diggermate top-of-mind, but the real takeaway was the genuine conversations with attendees. Homeowners talked about their DIY projects, tradies shared their upcoming jobs, and business owners explored potential partnerships. While some leads were immediate, many more are expected to develop over the coming months.
Building Brand Awareness in the Business Community
Beyond reaching potential customers, the Red Hill Show was a great platform to network with industry professionals. Diggermate Rosebud connected with:
- Landscapers needing excavation support
- Construction companies looking for reliable hire options
- Suppliers and industry contacts to strengthen business relationships
By being present and having the right conversations, Diggermate further established itself as a go-to solution for mini excavator hire in the region.
