There are 2 parts to a trade show to think about – the attendee and the presenter. Both should be considered if you are ready for an awesome, valuable way to promote your products and services.
The Attendee –
- Pick a show that you will get the most out of – industry, consumer or both, businesses in a specific market (construction, electronics, etc.)
- Find out about upcoming trade shows and much more information online
- After you pick a show, find who and where you want to visit, and what questions you have before the show
- Take good notes, contact information, and pictures
- Have plenty of business cards
The presenter –
- Pick a trade show where you will get the best exposure
- Decide on a budget
- Have a good idea on what and how to present your product or service
