Simple Methods To Improve How Your Booth Staff Is Perceived

June 11th, 2009

Your sales and booth staff are the face of your business and play a vital role in how your company is perceived by the public and other companies. And with people on the trade show floor spending faint seconds you have to make a positive impression.

The best case scenario at any trade show would be to have your top of the line sales force at trade shows present. However, in many cases this scenario just isn’t possible and that is why these simple tips can make the difference in how attendees judge your company.

Before any show it is important to set goals, objectives and to educate your trade show staff on its message. This ensures that all sales forces are on the same page and update to date with the latest strategy marketing campaign. Another way is to hiring staff members who are friendly and have people skills. This sales person is head and shoulders above a sales person who could be the most knowledgeable person regarding product, simply because they have better communication skills.

Consistency is also extremely important. From your dress attire, which doesn’t have to be suits, to the consistency of what they already know or like about your company and product is important. If you have a bad reputation, what better time than to change that with a positive reinforcement of how you’ve changed.

June 4th, 2009

If you ever been to a trade show, concert, food festival, art walk, farmer’s market, or just about any large public event than you’ve probably received some sort of promotional giveaway. These items range from shirts, bottle openers, pens, tote bags, coffee mugs, water bottles, stress balls and the list can just keep on going and going.

Whatever may be behind the reason for distributing these giveaways the goal is always the same – for that person to remember your company. Creating a unique and useful giveaway is the easiest way to achieve that, and doesn’t have to be expensive to achieve. Even the most low cost ideas can generate positive leads if the promotional item is on target.

Most of the items listed above are easy promotional giveaways, but you hand them out over and over again and hope people keep them around or will think of your company in the future. Why not try a promotional giveaway that will drive interest to your booth and company.

A recent company used tuxedo shirts as promotional items that create significant buzz and drove people to its booth. Attendees that wore the shirt during the show would be entered into a drawing for cash prizes. This effectively created a buzz on the floor with the shirts and created more publicity because of it. This publicity enticed people to visit its <a href=”http://www.displaystradeshow.com” title=”Discount Trade Show Displays”>trade show display</a> and essentially turned those people into a possible lead for the company.

Your company can hand out a promotional item that is directly related to your company’s overall mission and message. At Exhibitor 2009, Eco Systems Displays, a manufacture of environmentally friendly and conscious trade show displays, gave away samples of organic drinks. This fit into its message about using more eco-friendly products not just only for trade show displays, but also everyday life.

However you use your promotional giveaways just remember that you’re not there because people will like the item. You want them to remember your company and use it when they need your services.

Proper Techniques For Cleaning Trade Show Display Ink Jet Graphics

May 26th, 2009

When cleaning your trade show display one must practice extreme caution, making sure to not further damage any vinyl laminates or allow for any chemicals or water-based solution to get under the vinyl.

The first step in cleaning your graphics is to verify what kind of damage you will be trying to clean. For small stains or light scuffs you can use window cleaner or any light-grade general purpose cleaner. Apply first to a cloth, before working your way up to directly applying it to the stain. For more significant damage avoid using bleaches or other powerful cleaners. This can cause significant and irreversible damage to the outside of the graphic.

When cleaning the graphic avoid scrubbing or rubbing the affected area. Doing this can cause damage to the graphic, causing scratches, gashes or tearing the vinyl. Any damage, even slight, made to the laminate can become worse over time.

Additionally be careful when cleaning the edges of your graphics, since the vinyl does not cover this area. If your cleaning solution gets under the edges it can cause the graphic itself to be damaged, with either bleeding of the ink or causing the graphic and vinyl protective laminate to become detached.

Exhibiting At Trade Show Displays On A Reduced Budget

April 6th, 2009

accounting-dollar-signThe need to attend trade shows remains strong through tough economic times, and companies are asking their departments to reduce spending in as many as ways as possible.

With the total price tag for exhibiting at each trade show changing from show to show, planning for the variable costs can be daunting guessing game at times. Finding ways to reduce the cost upfront will give you more flexibility in the long run to be creative with your approaches.

Early planning is strategic to effectively reducing your trade show costs. Deciding which shows you will be attending and scheduling staffers for each show is the first important step in lowering your costs. Most shows offer reduced registration for purchasing booth space in advance. In addition booking hotels and flights are easier and cheaper several months out.

The other considerable cost of trade show exhibiting is of course the cost of your trade show display. Beginning your shopping for a display, whether it is custom or portable, allow you to lower the cost, by shopping your needs to different distributors. Also your trade show display has several features that are optional.

Using items such as carpeting or flooring that are provided by trade show halls is another way to reduce booth cost. However, the quality and appeal of these floors is usually less than adequate when promoting your display. Save money by declining optional services provided by the show though, bring items like a broom, vacuum or cleaning supplies along with you is a great way to save money.

Besides reducing your costs there are some slight advantages to planning early. If you register early at trade shows, you have a better chance at being placed in a booth that will have more foot traffic.

Used Trade Show Displays, Products, Booths Cost-Effective Marketing Solution

March 31st, 2009

With budgets being slashed and companies finding it increasingly more difficult to justify spending, businesses are looking for new ways to approach one of the most important branches of its marketing strategy, trade show displays.

Fortunately there are several options for these companies available today within the trade show industry that not only help alleviate some of the high cost associated with purchasing displays, but also give back to the environment.

A company looking to exhibit at a convention or trade show will pay for several other things beside the display itself. Registration, renting booth space, travel and miscellaneous expenses could easily reach $5,000 even before you consider adding a booth. And with the cost of booths reaching the several thousand dollar mark in some cases, purchasing a one-of-a-kind display tightens your overall budget that much more.

Employing a used trade show booth is just one of several ways that a company can reduce its overall trade show cost. There is a large market for custom, as well as modular and portable trade show displays, which can be bought through a trade show distributor. These used displays can either be purchased or branded by these distributors so that booth truly represents your company and message.

Another commonly used alternative is renting used or in some cases new trade show displays and branding it to fit your message. This is an ideal strategy for business and organizations that attend a small amount of shows or also want to be able to create a new look from show to show. In addition, renting trade show products is also environmentally friendly, as it helps saves thousand of retired displays, booths, exhibits and products from reaching landfills and dumps.

Trade Show Staffing A Way To Increase Booth Attendance

March 27th, 2009

Walking the trade show floor this week, I began to notice all of the people who were just sitting at there booth uninterested in the passerbys. I began to think about how I would approach people who were just walking by.

And although a proper greeting has been the norm for several years, it is time booth staff start taking a difference approach towards reaching out to potential customers. With all the booths and products starting to look a like, a staffer needs to get up and say, “excuse me but have you seen the new product that will help you save more than 15 percent on your shipping cost throughout the year.” Instead of an old fashioned line like, “hello how is your day?”

The first method is much more appealing to those people who maybe haven’t thought of their shipping costs and happen to be walking past your booth. In my case I would have at least given someone the time of day had they approached me instead of having me come to them.

Give your staffing some motivation to bring in the most people and offer them a reward for that.
