Trade shows offer your company a unique opportunity to create visibility and communicate with many people at once. However, trade shows can require a big investment of resources (time and money). Here are a few tips to help you get the most bang from your trade show buck.


Choose the Right Show

  • It’s usually a good idea to attend a show before you exhibit, unless you’re 100% sure it’s the right show.

  • Try to find out as much as you can about past show attendees and exhibitors. This information is often available from the sponsoring organization.

  • Choose Your Space

  • Get in early so that you can take advantage of early bird discounts and secure your space before the show gets “cherry picked.”

  • Pre-Show Publicity and Visibility

  • Offer a compelling and interactive booth promotion and ensure that attendees will “get it” with just one glance.

  • Set Goals

  • What is your branding/awareness goal? What impression are you trying to make?

  • Incorporate a Wow Element into your Show Presentation
