Tips for Boosting Trade Show Operations

A busy trade show is hectic. There are a lot of attendees coming and going. Some may become future customers and some may be current customers, so you want to make sure you give all of them the proper amount of attention and provide them with the right materials.

You, therefore, should plan for how you will operate your booth prior to the trade show. This plan will make ensure that everything gets done, whether it is slow or hectic or somewhere in between. Here are some tips to make sure that occurs (and to also make sure you have fun, too):

• Contemplate Trade Show Display Booth Flow. Your staff and attendees should be able to move about freely within your Trade Show Display Booth. Don’t let them bump into table corners, storage bins, or Trade Show Exhibits. A trade show expert can help you plan and set-up your Trade Show Booth accordingly.

• Set Limited Goals. Set two-three goals before the trade show and center your attention on attaining them (don’t despair if you don’t, just figure out why and make corrections for the next trade show).

• Figure Out Duties. In addition to determining what materials to distribute and what ads to display, figure out who will do what and at what times. Perhaps one employee will do a certain task all day or perhaps they’ll split tasks. Make sure everyone knows their duties and what’s expected beforehand.

• Account for Internet Crashes. Many trade show exhibitors rely on the Internet for displays, interactions, and communications. Such is great, but having so many people using Wi-Fi can crash even a terrific system. Always have a backup plan in place and ready to go.

• Watch Over the Process. Keep an eye on what’s going on. Of course you don’t want to annoy your employees, but you do want to make sure everything is running smoothly and answer all questions that might arise.

Tips for Easing Trade Show Set Up

Here are some tips for your morning trade show set up that should help make things go smoothly. Yes, some things will sound obvious. Just consider them gentle reminders.

Arrive Early

Getting there early allows you the freedom to comfortably set-up and fix any potential errors. Things always can and always go wrong. Being rushed is awful, so get there early and feel relax and at ease.

Get the Necessities

Find the registration area and gather your staff badges, show map, exhibitor directory, maps, and all other necessary materials.

Check Your Area

Check your area for set-up errors. These happen. Don’t get too upset, though. There are a lot of exhibitors jammed into a small room and sometimes there are only a few people to do the work. There’s a lot to do and only a little bit of time. Everyone really does put forth their best. But, sometimes booth measurements are incorrect, electrical outputs are wrong, there isn’t enough event furniture, the carpets aren’t situated correctly, deliveries aren’t there, supplies go missing, etc. Getting there early gives you the time to find the errors and make corrections.

Scope the Surroundings

Look around. Locate the contractors’ desks (electrician, laborers, etc.) and introduce yourself. If you’re working with an exhibitor-appointed contractor (EAC), find out through the local city manager plan on having a desk at the show floor. A token gift, such as a box of cookies or some kind of treat goes a long way.

Pinpoint the public vending machines and food truck drivers. Food trucks are oftentimes pretty good and very reasonable. Locate taxis, Ubers, etc., so you can respond to questions from staff and potential clients. Do the same for restrooms, coat checks, and other areas important to the public.

Walk around the center and take note of places to eat, drink coffee, get a snack, charge phones, get cash, office supplies, and rest. This may be important to you, as well as the public. You’ll certainly need a break at some point, too.

Set-Up

Now, it’s time to set up your booth. Hopefully, you’ve secured your Trade Show Displays and Trade Show Exhibits from a reliable professional upon whom you can rely.

Preparing Staff for a Trade Show

A great part of your trade show success hinges upon how your staff relates to attendees. Here are some suggestions on how to better prepare your staff and increase your success at trade shows.

Define Booth Staff Roles and Responsibilities

Before the trade show, make a list of those who will bemanning your booth. Consider their assets, skills, and strengths. There are certain jobs most booths require and sometimes it makes more sense to have specific individuals handle those tasks, according to their strengths, rather than have everyone doing all of them randomly.

Trade Show Booth Roles

Once you’ve thought about the traits of those who will be attending, you’re now ready to assign individuals to those tasks. Here are roles that are most common to trade shows:

o Collectors – these individuals go into the aisles, socialize with attendees, assess their interest in your product, and urge them to head over to the booth (politely and unobtrusively, of course)

o Anchors: these individuals’ welcome and log in visitors and take down their contact information. They additionally guide visitors to areas of interest, such as promotions, demonstrations, and games.

o Exhibitors: these individuals educate and entertain prospects and provide live demonstrations. They have good senses of humor and the ability to engage in conversation.

o Sales Representatives: these individuals are highly skilled at presenting sales pitches. They are also good at accumulating potential sales leads

Teamwork

Ultimately, it’s important to put together a team that functions and works well together. Make sure you clearly define the responsibilities and your expectations.

Now that you have a great staff, all you need next is a great booth.

Ways to Increase Your Success At Trade Shows

Whether you’re attending a trade show for the very first time or the 101st time, there are always you can use to improve your chances of making each and every one a success.

Portable Trade show Displays

Things To Do Before the Trade Show

What you do prior to the trade show is just as important as what you do at the trade show. Let those who could be potential customers and those you are seriously courting know you’re attending. Let current customers know, too. Trade shows offer perfect opportunities to connect with them, too. Send letters or postcards, email blasts, social media posts – anything and everything that advertises your upcoming appearance. Don’t forget to include promotional materials and perhaps even a coupon or some kind of reward for stopping by.

Think About Your Approach

How will you talk to those you’ll encounter? Customers, current and potential, not only like products and brands on which they can rely, but relationships on which they can rely. You create positive relationships with sincerity and familiar approaches. Try not to sound unemotional or as if you’re presenting a rehearsed sermon. People like talking about themselves and their lives. Engage warmly and listen.

Don’t Curb Your Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm and positivity affects the energy and people around you. Encourage those working with you to be confident and upbeat, too. Attendees don’t want to stop by a booth where the exhibiters are disinterested and negative. Warmly welcome people toward and into your booth and treat them respectfully, no matter their reaction. It will always have a positive result and they will remember.

Interact

Attendees enjoy having fun things to do, so give them an incentive to hang around. Show videos, handout promotional items or have a contest. Provide samples of your wares, sell raffles, have a contest, or come up with a game.

Follow-Up

This step is vital, almost as important as attending the trade show. Cultivate the relationships you made and those you already established. Send out letters and emails and make phone calls.

Get a Great Booth

Granted, this step is out of order, but it really is the most important. Your trade show display is really what draws in people. Of course, much depends on you, but if your booth isn’t bold, attention grabbing, and doesn’t tell passersby exactly what your selling or providing, they will simply keep on passing you by.

Bigger is usually better. Large booths with hanging displays and multiple decks do tend to draw attendee’s attentions. If, however, you cannot afford such extravagance, opt for quality and go for vivid, bold, eye-catching graphics that will immediately catch people’s attentions. It’s just as good as a big display.
