Trade Shows - a Microcosm of Marketing

Trade shows can be absolutely essential to a business and the life blood-- supplying new customers and sales to your bottom line. Though you may present your trade show exhibits at an industry trade show only a few times per year, tradeshows are a great opportunity to make new prospects, reconnect with current customers and present your products and services to other trade show attendees as well as see what the competition is up to -- all in one convenient location. Trade shows can be a concentrated dose of marketing feedback and valuable lessons. Pay attention to what your potential tradeshow booth visitors are saying. You can learn a great deal in short order by attending and displaying your tradeshow booth displays at trade shows. Making adjustments accordingly to your marketing message can save you months and a considerable amount of money in the long run.

To some presenters, trade shows are a dreaded obligation resulting in aching feet and tired sales staff for those that must work the exhibit booths, but those who feel this way just don’t see the opportunity at hand. A tradeshow booth is one of the few marketing opportunities that is a two way street. Rarely anymore do we have a chance to look into the eyes of potential customers in such a non-threatening, open environment. Sure the internet is supposedly a two-way communication tool -- connecting us directly with our consumers, but only in a tradeshow booth do you find a pre-qualified, interested observer willing to talk with you and give you their valuable opinion. They paid to be there! This is priceless! They have not yet made a commitment. They have not walked into your store or show room. They are merely visiting your portable trade show exhibit, but they are a wealth of knowledge and information.

Often it is a challenge to quantify the return on investment of your marketing message of your tradeshow booth design. But everyone else in the industry has exhibit displays there at the big industry trade show…you can’t not be seen there, lest you risk being left behind in the proverbial dust. So you might as well get the most information from potential customers, and generate as much good will and as many leads as possible while you are attending your next tradeshow.
