Trade Show Booth Design

Thinking about marketing your company through a trade show? Are you hesitant as your business already has a good clientele, and wonder if trade show is worth the expense? Well, trade shows are not only easy to conduct, but are also one of the most rewarding business marketing approaches. In fact, no other form of outbound marketing can beat the ROI it generates.

Still not sure if a trade show should be on your radar? Well, these 5 benefits should convince you that it is indeed the perfect place to market your company’s goods and services!

1. 1. Meet new customers and strengthen bonds with existing customers

Lets you personally meet and connect with prospective customers instead of speaking over the phone. They get to know, recognize and want to connect with you. While some people may buy something from you at the trade show, those who didn’t at least expand your database of sales leads!

Your personal interaction strengthens your bonds with them and you may even personally meet some existing customers. Remember, while technology simplifies communication, there’s nothing stronger in marketing than face-to-face meetings!

1. 2. Learn about your industry

With so many other companies exhibiting their wares at trade shows, you can learn about your competition and the latest industry developments. So send not only your marketing staff, but also your technical staff to the trade show too to attend presentations and keep updated on new technologies.

1. 3. Expand your supply chain

Not only competitors, you may also find some prospective vendors at the trade show that can expand your supply chain and help your business grow.

1. 4. Higher chances of closing deals

It’s easier convincing customers and closing deals at trade shows as they are at the trade show looking for good deals. Convincing over the phone may be difficult as they may be preoccupied with other things.

1. 5. Build your brand

A trade show is an environment where both you and your larger competitors fight for the same customers. This helps strengthen your brand by positioning you as a leader in your industry. All it takes is the right exhibit displays to attract customers and build your brand.

The Right Planning on Choosing Your Trade Show Booth Displays is Important 

Now you see why trade shows are so popular, and a must for every business. Of course, all this is possible only with the right planning, which is explained in detail here with tips to get started.

• • Not all trade shows are meant for you. The first thing you need to do is locate the most opportune events reaching your target audience. Start through current customers to find out which events they attend and then your professional organizations, industry colleagues; local chamber of commerce and online trade show directories for suggestions.
• • Try to take a look at past vendors and attendees when you locate a promising trade show. Check the timing, cost, sponsor reputation and geography to ensure the trade show is worth your time and money.
• • You will have to rent some things for the event like audio-visual equipment, mobile technology, sound systems, and promotional items like trade show booths, literature and other marketing tools.
• • Establish the objectives, your budget and create a compelling sales message and spectacular trade show booth design that attracts people immediately.
• • Create a pre-show, at-show and post-show marketing plan to effectively convince prospective customers with the required marketing tools like business cards, promotional items and sales literature.
• • Reserve a booth in a high traffic spot at the event and confirm access to electrical outlets and anything else your trade show booth design requires.
• • Train your staff and make the necessary travel arrangements to ensure your staff, exhibit displays and marketing materials arrive on time for the show.
• • Once you are done with the show, do an evaluation of its success to ensure you have met your objectives and if you need to make any changes in the future.
