Make Your Trade Show Display Uniquely YOURS!

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

d-1695-1010Your business no doubt has its own trademark icons and colors, so it’s a good idea to use these when planning and designing your business’ own unique trade show booth or kiosk displays.

If your potential clients/customers have seen your ads or read your company’s blog, etc, they will be actively looking for the color scheme and icons they saw before, and which they now associate with your business.

Remember that at a trade show, your company will be competing with hundreds of other companies for the attention and accounts of all of the conference attendees, every single one of which is a potential client!  It just makes sense to design your booth or kiosk to be instantly recognizable, even from a distance, as YOUR company’s booth or kiosk.

If your company’s trade show display is pictured on your business cards, all the better!  The clients/customers will instantly recognize your display, even if it’s only by the colors, and come right to you!

BlogHer 2009

Monday, July 13th, 2009

While not technically a trade show, BlogHer is one of the largest conferences for women in the world.  Every year, BlogHer’s vendors vie with each other over booth space and who gives out the coolest, most sought-after samples.23826490_37f0d134ed

A kiosk or booth in the vendor hall at BlogHer makes money, my friends.  Hundreds and hundreds of women of all ages will be walking up and down the vendor aisles, sniffing out samples, filling out interest sheets, asking questions about products/services, and contacting your business a few days, weeks, or even years, later.

It might behoove interested vendors to know that the vendor aisles at BlogHer sell out quickly.  Most vendors come back again year after year.

I still have business cards from previous BlogHer conferences on my refrigerator.  I’ve purchased things two years after the conference was over because a vendor gave me a card.

It’s too late for this year’s BlogHer – the vendor aisles were sold out MONTHS ago – but it’s not too late for BlogHer 2010.  Put it on your calendar.  It’s an experience you’ll never forget!

Business Cards in More Than One Area? Excellent!

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Every business has business cards to give to potential customers, of course, but WHEN do your customers get your card?

istock_000005425588_2_xsmalAt the trade show I attended on Saturday,  there was a large table in the foyer, and it was covered with stacks of business cards.  Attendees were poring over the topics, selecting cards of interest, and following the information on those cards to the appropriate kiosk or booth wherein was set up the business or service needed by that customer.

Once at the booth, a different business card was handed out.

My point?  Turn a trade show attendee into a potential customer before he/she even enters the showroom!  Make sure YOUR business cards are easily available in the foyer, as well as at your kiosk or booth.
