If you have decided to market your business at a trade show, don’t do it last minute. There is much you can do ahead of time to maximize your trade show experience. Give yourself a few months to think, plan, and carry out the plan in an effective way.
Make A Plan
The first thing that you should do is to make a plan. Gather those who are an important part of your team and sit down to brainstorm. Ask yourselves these important questions:
- Who is our target market?
- What is our goal at the trade show?
- How much do we have in our trade show budget?
- Who can be the most effective in our plan and where do they fit in?
- What is our time frame?
- Who should we contact beforehand to invite to the show?
As you consider these questions, you can come up with a general outline of what you are going to try to accomplish at the trade show and before.
After you have a plan you need to talk about a trade show booth.
Choose A Booth
Another reason why you should plan in advance is so that you can design a trade show display for the exhibition that will best suit your marketing needs and your budget. Waiting too long will sometimes get you a small booth in a secluded corner where nobody will really notice you. Look into sizes, locations, designs, and even the lighting, so that you will choose the best booth for your needs.
Use Graphics
When you are considering the design for your booth, don’t forget the graphics. This means that you have a graphic that people will remember and connect to your business. If this means a distinct logo, then that’s what you should use. Check out some exhibit companies that provide graphic design so that you will have the best graphics at the show.
