Upgrade Your Strategy - Before, During, and After the Trade Show

Before the Trade Show
Prepare customised marketing materials to attract booth visitors:
Attract attendees to your booth with well-prepared custom tents, banners, drinking cups, pens, notepads, brochures, business cards, and more. If a business is unknown to customers, it cannot become successful. These visible preparations help make your business known!

During the Trade Show
1. Wear unified custom uniforms or T-shirts:
A professional unified look help leave a good impression on clients. Also, it helps improve corporate confidence and win more trust from clients.
2. Hand out giveaways and promotional materials:
You can more easily collect information about clients or prospects with the help of giveaways. People love getting promotional gifts. Customized carrying tote bags, pens, notepads, keychains, or other small toys are good ideas. Put custom promotional brochures, flyers, or business cards together with their giveaways. Adding QR code scans to the promotional materials help clients get more information about your business or service.

 


After the Trade Show
Manage and follow the collected leads:
Clients may use their smartphones to scan your QR code/ bar code. Network technology helps you and your visitor collect leads virtually or in a socially distanced setting. Prepare some qualifying information to answer questions or solution plans when following clients.
