Top ten secret tips to exhibiting!


1  Set your objectives -  what you wish to achieve 
   
    Design your stand to meet your objectives and plan your staffing needs early

2  Train, train, train

    80% of the success of your stand is down to your staff

3  Exhibiting is not just for leads but also to find suppliers and to ...

    Develop customer relations, find business partners, research competitors, 

    launch a new product, get new ideas

4  Market your stand to both customer and prospects

    Invite them to meet you at your stand or in the networking area

5  Messages on your stand
 
    Should be simple, visual and in LARGE print which stresses benefits, less is more


6  Can I help you?
    Not a good question, ask open questions that require more than a one word answer


7  Don’t just wait for visitors to visit your stand

    Lead generation can be anywhere, getting coffee, at workshops and speaker sessions-
   
    Talk to everyone you can wherever you are!

8  Networking is about helping other people

    Hard sell is not appropriate and not appreciated and less effective


9  Don’t

    Use a mobile, eat on the stand, sit down, have your back to the aisle, have a messy stand
    
or have cheap tacky giveaways

10  Follow up
      Follow up leads as quickly as possible after the exhibition
