Exhibitor University update: Trade Show Experts
Say “Exhibit with Purpose”
So just what do trade show
exhibitors need to do these days to bring more customers
to their booth? According to trade show and marketing
experts:
• “The number one key to exhibit
attraction and recall is demonstrations. Booths that
deliver information and ideas creatively are more
effective and memorable.”
• “The goal of your
booth is to create or change an opinion. Effective trade
show booths do not try to recreate an office sales
meeting—you can meet customers anywhere. Your booth must
do more than simply enable a conversation.”
• “Effective booths immerse the visitor in a
compelling message as part of a comprehensive effort to
differentiate and position your products. No other
marketing medium is as powerful as trade shows. Unlike
brochures, videos, websites, even sales people—effective
trade show exhibits can change how your company is
viewed and compared with competitors.”
