Exhibitions and trade shows are a unique chance for potential customers to see, hear, touch and experience your product or service first hand, for the same cost of a colour page ad in a trade journal.
There exists no other way in which you can demonstrate your product or service to so many potential customers in such an effective environment. Nine out of ten visitors to exhibitions have an influence on the buying decision of their company or organisation.
Before the Event
Which Show? LED lighting show in korea. Most organisers of shows and exhibitions can supply you with all of the information you will need. Questions to ask are:
· How well established is the event and how will it be promoted?
· What sort of visitors and how many market leaders attend?
· Which Trade Bodies support the show?
· What was the previous year's attendance?
· Which press and media attend?
· What is included in the cost?
Preparation
Once you have chosen your event, the first thing to do is appoint a show manager to have overall responsibility for organising the stand and show staff.
Decide on your objectives. Are you launching a new product or service, or raising company profile, or contacting a new market, or re-launching existing services, or conducting market research, or measuring the competition. What you want from a show will affect your decision on how to exhibit.
Fix a budget that includes stand hire and design, transport, security, insurance, catering, accommodation and the cost of all the follow up work. Remember, the cost of exhibiting is likely to be roughly four times the cost of the stand/space, so add in a 5% contingency to cover the unforeseen.
Finally book your site as far in advance as possible and choose your stand design and the products to be displayed.
