Casual Articles - Increase Sales By Thinking Beyond Your Standard Trade Show Display
“The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.” – Ursula K. LeGuin “Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don't let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.”- R.I. FitzhenryAbout 8 years ago my life underwent a major transition both personally and professionally. Everything in my life seemed to be in flux. I felt at a crossroads filled with excitement and huge fear. Where was I going? What might happen next? At times, I felt overwhelmed with so many questions and so much uncertainty.One day, whi

We are living in the age of email, podcasts and webinars. Whether it’s something as simple as a game show, an “infomercial” type format or you’ve decided to make room in the budget to produce a full product demo, you should have some sort of multimedia tool featuring your product. Not only does this make you a little more cutting-edge than the standard exhibitors, but this is also an opportunity to begin building some type of association in the p
The Truth about Business and Executive CoachingPeople from all walks of life are jumping onto the coaching bandwagon, lured by stories of ?100,000 salaries, many with little or zero experience are fighting for their piece of the pie. Let’s get down to facts and demolish a few myths, mostly generated by the coaching industry itself.Myth One; you can earn at least ?5000 a week/month as a life/business/executive coach Fact: 40% of coaches earn less than 10k a year, and the majority struggle to remain in the profession for more than a year. The reality is in the majority of cases it’s the coach train
Your trade show display creates a backdrop for you to meet new prospects and hopefully lay the foundation for a lucrative relationship with them. When a trade show attendee stops by your exhibit, they are stepping into your portable office, and you are offering a snapshot of what your company is about. If you want to keep a prospect in your trade show booth for more than a couple of seconds, you must be able to quickly establish trust – and projecting a polished, professional image, combined with a personable staff, sets an excellent foundation of trust.
Adding accessories to your trade show display can make a huge difference in the efficiency and effectiveness of your presentation. Literature racks provide information for passive prospects to get what they need without feeling any sales pressure, or offer information that may prompt the prospect to ask questions. In addition, an offer on the banner stand or the multimedia demo is an opportunity to spark the prospect’s curiosity and drive traffic to your booth. While the flooring you use for your trade show exhibit may seem insignificant, it contributes to the overall tone of your trade show exhibit space.
Here are some tools to help your trade show display attract attention and create a comfortable stage for you to connect with attendees.
Literature Racks
An excellent tool for organizing and displaying your printed materials, literature racks can prove quite valuable if your sales team is preoccupied with another prospect, or if the passer-by wants more information. Rather than waiting for an available salesperson, and growing inpatient doing so, the prospect can still get information about your company. And when your sales team is talking with a prospect, rather than sifting through boxes or piles of brochures and flyers that are spread across the table, they can quickly and easily grab the information the prospect needs. With the available space on your table, you have more room to display your product, offer samples or do your product demos.
Banner Stands
Portable and lightweight, banner stands help attract attention to your space. You can display your company logo with information about your business, announce a special event, or offer information about a new product on these handy marketing pieces. Floor models stand between seven- and nine-feet tall, while hanging banners can be as large as ten feet. You also have a choice between fabric or vinyl.
Trade Show Flooring
Because this part of your trade show exhibit is rarely noticed, you may think you can get away with skipping this one. But keep in mind that ambience goes a long way when trying to separate yourself from the competition. Whether you are looking to duplicate the appearance of a wood finish, a stone or marble finish, carpet or texture, there is likely a flooring option that will work for you, no matter what color or style you are looking for. And with your sales team standing for several hours over multiple days, trade show flooring is a must as it can reduce standing fatigue. Keep in mind, if you purchase your own trade show flooring rather than renting it from the trade show exhibit hall, you’ll save money.

So, you want to work with animals, do you? How is your education? You need at least a high school diploma to get into most programs. If you don't have a diploma, but have your GED, you can still do most veterinary work. Even animal grooming needs a certification - and many of these careers need licensing as well. For veterinary college you will need the high school diploma and college - lots of college!Everyone, no matter what program they pursue, needs to know the business of running a practice.

Let me tell you a story that might encourage you to understand that your paradigm determines what you see, irrespective of what you look at. People who live from the 'outside in' tend to believe that what's 'out there' determines them. Those who live from the 'inside out' believe they have control of the things 'out there'.Two (separate) American shoe manufacturing companies send their top marketing specialists to investigate the market for shoes in Africa. After two weeks of intensive research both of them reported back to their head offices.The one’s reply read: “Don’t bother to exploit this market,

Have you ever found yourself in the wrong job or career? I think it is fair to say that we have all had that experience. This is actually a good thing if you’re conscious of it.I ran into a good friend of mine a few weeks ago. I’d remembered that she was going after a new position so I asked her if she’d gotten it. Her response, Yes, and I hate it! I asked her if it was just the typical fear that can come with a career change and the accompanying sharp learning curve as you develop the new skills. Apparently that wasn’t the problem because she found the job quite simple. As it turns out the very reason she we

We are living in the age of email, podcasts and webinars. Whether it’s something as simple as a game show, an “infomercial” type format or you’ve decided to make room in the budget to produce a full product demo, you should have some sort of multimedia tool featuring your product. Not only does this make you a little more cutting-edge than the standard exhibitors, but this is also an opportunity to begin building some type of association in the prospect's mind – hopefully positive – with your product, whether it is fun, efficiency, innovation or style.
If you don’t go above and beyond average expectations for your customers in your daily business practices – from the helpful voice that greets prospect calls over the phone to following up with the customer after the sale – your company will be passed over for a competitor that does. And at a trade show, where the competition is only a glance away, the same principle applies. Always keep in mind that your trade show exhibit is an attendees’ first introduction to your business – and first impressions are lasting.
As with any other area of your business, put your best foot forward with your trade show exhibit and the results are sure to follow.
