1

Prepare Before the Show

Create some buzz and promote that you’ll be attending a trade show months before its actual date. It’ll allow people know and anticipate your presence on the event. Prepare something special for the people who’ll be coming to your booth. If you’ve got enough people for the trade show, you can assign different tasks. You can ask one of them to give away flyers around the venue, while the rest will stay and entertain the people who’ll drop by your booth.

Show Consistency

You can dress up your team in matching uniforms to properly represent your company. Uniforms can act as a branding tool to allow your booth to be easily noticed by people. Consistency is also important. Make sure your team sends the same message to booth visitors. It’s best that to have them briefed before the event so everyone has an idea on what to say or how to answer inquiries. 

3

Create Attractions

You can devise different promos or games like a raffle draw or other activities that can attract people to your business. This will help increase consumer familiarity with your business and the products that you are selling. Aside from game, you can give out samples of your products or give a demonstration of your product.

Interact with Other Businesses

Talk and make inquiries with other companies that are in the trade show. Remember that trade shows are industry-based events. This means that most of the companies attending the event are your direct competitors. Asking questions about their products will help you familiarize with your industry and the competition that you’re up against.
