Exhibitor TipsHere are a few basic TIPS to maximize your presence and make the most out of the 2018 Trade Show.
Pre-expo Preparation: What is the purpose of your presence?
Are you participating at the Trade Show to create brand awareness, introduce a new product or to generate sales? Answering this question will give you a clear direction on how you set up your booth and prepare your staff to ensure a marketing campaign of success.
During Trade Show Performance: Is your team focused?
Appealing hosts are just as important as an appealing booth. Have a daily huddle with your team to encourage specific goals and outcomes. Provide the team with powerful questions or a script that reflects your purpose. Keep them focused upon obtaining and generating leads, collecting business cards or names, set specific goals before the show; number of qualified prospects, number of future appointments.
Beyond the Trade Show: Who is doing what?
It is imperative to follow up on all leads created at the Trade Show. Hold a debrief meeting and ascertain who is doing what. Provide as much information to your staff about the lead so that they are fully equipped.
