A trade show is one of the most important ways you can promote your business to your target audience. It's an opportunity to show off your exciting products, services and activities, and show your visitors what you can do for them. At a trade show, there are booths everywhere, and you want to make your display and business promotional items stand out from the rest of the pack. Most passersby will only spend a few seconds deciding whether they want to stop and chat to a representative or not. Let's face it, if your neighbor's display looks more exciting, you can be sure that your display won't even get a second glance. Here are some tips for designing a great trade show exhibit complete with engaging marketing promotional items:
1. Target your audience - If your booth is not tailored to your audience, then you're in trouble. Think about what kinds of words and images would appeal to your audience and how best to promote your product to them. Images of customers with keywords from testimonials works well, but sometimes you have to think more outside the box. If you sell internet marketing services, then use the internet in your display, for example. Have a monitor showing a user Googling and using Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Your target audience will immediately see what kind of services and knowledge you offer, and, with any luck, will want to be a part of them.
2. Make a call to action - You want your business promotional items and your booth to make a call to action to get your visitors wanting to become your customers and benefit from your product. Going back to that example of an internet marketing services company, a good call to action might be "Ask Us How To Go Viral!" or "Ask Us How To Rank #1!". These calls to action should sum up, in a nutshell, what you're all about. It's even more effective when the text on your flyers, fact sheets and other promotional materials tie in with these calls to action.
3. Develop relevant business promotional products - Let's face it, everyone loves a freebie. But at a trade show, every single booth around you is giving out business promotional products, so you want to create promotional items that are a little offbeat to make your business stand out. Every booth will have promotional pens on offer, but what about products like stress balls, hats, yo-yos, or puzzles? The key is to develop promotional items you know your target audience will use, preferably on a daily basis. So if you're that internet marketing company, you might want to consider marketing promotional items like mouse pads or notepads.
Through branding your booth well, presenting your message in a clear and engaging format, and developing business promotional products that your target audience will find appealing and useful, your business will be well on its way to trade show success.
