When you and your team attend trade shows, you have the chance to build new connections and develop long-lasting business relationships. If executed properly, trade show exhibitors boost brand awareness, successfully unveil new products and services, and outshine their competitors.

If you’re participating in a trade show, plan out a thorough strategy. Every event you attend is a chance to grow your business and expand your company’s customer base.

Most of the time, trade show attendees are motivated, interested to learn about your products, and may commit to a deal on-the-spot.

Before you head out to your B2B event, you and your team should establish key sales goals prior to the show. This will give your sales team a firm objective.

To make the most out of your trade show experience, you should:

– Have a captivating and engaging trade show booth;

– Perfect your 30-second pitch beforehand;

– Research who will be at the conference ahead of time;

– Incorporate a call-to-action (like trade show pricing) to attract as many potential customers as possible.

As you interact and engage with trade show attendees, document everything. When you exchange business cards with a prospect, write notes on it so you can keep track of all of your new leads. Speaking of business cards, when you’re attending a trade show, make sure you come with plenty. Business cards are a great thing to have and make sure you give plenty of them out whilst you’re at the show!

In the case that you don’t make any final sales during your trade show, your team will still be networking, which is always a plus. New connections build brand visibility and can lead to word-of-mouth recommendations.
