Trade show season is ramping up. Does your business have a trade show marketing strategy or have you been winging it?
Trade shows are a great way to get your name out there. If done correctly, you not only get exposure, but you'll generate new leads and sales.
Let's take a look at how to ramp up your marketing efforts for trade shows this year.
Trade show marketing is a $12 billion industry in the United States, and for good reason. Trade shows give marketers the critical opportunity to engage in face-to-face conversations with potential clients, which can help them build their network.
That said, there can also be a lot of noise at trade shows. If you don’t work to differentiate yourself from your competitors, it can be challenging to attract the attention of attendees.
Did you know that trade show giveaways make your potential customers 20 percent more likely to spread the word about your product or business? It's true!
According to the Journal of Marketing Research, consumers who receive freebies are significantly more likely to talk with others about the brand.
In this digital age, are traditional marketing tactics at risk of going extinct?
No. Traditional marketing helps digital marketing
Sure, social media campaigns, content marketing, and SEO are important. Just make sure your marketing plan also includes promotional items people can hold in their hands.
Why?
Because it works.
My office is often invited to set up a booth at trade shows. The problem is, we provide a not-for-profit educational service. We don’t have a budget for trade show promotional ideas (or advertising of any kind) because the adage of spending money to make money doesn’t apply to us. Yet, it’s helpful for people to know we exist. So, when we’re invited to put up a booth, we usually agree reluctantly and then scramble around, trying to figure out how to drive traffic to our booth on the cheap.
Proudly Canadian
