Trade shows are big business. Every year in the
65 million visitors per year. Trade shows can vary in size and scope - but all
offer the same advantages.
Most companies understand the importance of promotional
products and distributing them effectively. Research suggests that an
estimated 75% of people say they will keep and use promotional material that
they find useful, such as pens, notebooks, mugs or mouse pads.
Trade shows and fairs are the obvious place to distribute your promotional
products. Not only do trade fairs and shows attract interested and potential
customers - they also give you a chance to take a look at the competition and
compare your product to that of similar companies.
One disadvantage of trade shows is that they also tend to attract curious
passersby who just can't resist being given something for free. Many casual
trade show visitors will make the rounds and simply grab as many promotional
products as they can - in this case, your product is not achieving its full
potential.
Try to ensure that you are giving out promotional products to those who are
actually interested. One simple solution is to only give items out to those who
ask for them; other more effective methods are to make sure that recipients
have a business card, supply their mailing information or attend a brief
presentation.
When choosing products to be given away at a trade show, try to be selective.
Ideally, your promotional item should be relevant to your service or business.
Try to personalize any promotional items
with the name, address and website of your company as well as an indication of
what you offer.
Products that are re-usable are also the most effective, such as pens and mugs.
When deciding on promotional products to be given out at your trade show, try
to choose products such as this which reinforce your company's message or
product repeatedly. Consider seasonal items as well as items tailored to the
city or area you are in. It's also an idea to consider different levels of
promotional product. The person who can potentially bring in business for you
can perhaps be given a better product than the casual passerby who is there out
of curiosity.
It's worth taking some time to choose your trade shows and plan your
presentation carefully. Customers will have a perception of your product or
company based not only on any promotional products received, but also on the
quality of any exhibits and the helpfulness of your staff.
A well organized and presented trade show offers a wonderfully cost effective way
to get your message across to the people that matter - potential customers.
