Which Exhibitions to attend?
Exhibitions provide an excellent platform for potential clients to experience, at first hand, your product or service. You need to identify
and find out as much information as is available.
- How well established is the event and what promotional plans are the organisers undertaking?
- What is the breakdown profile of visitors, is it ABC audited? And how many market leaders or competitors attend?
- Is it supported by Trade Associations, Professional organisations or Publications?
- What was the previous year's attendance?
- Which press and media attend?
- What is included in the cost?
Exhibitions provide the following additional benefits:
- Highly targeted audience, over 90% of visitors are directly responsible for purchasing decisions
- Clients come to you through face-to-face contact - build customer relationships
- Greater potential market penetration
What are the true Costs of participation?
- Space costs
- Stand costs - design and construction, graphics etc.
- Services (power, electricity, communication)
- Show linked marketing - promotion, advertising, literature, giveaways etc.
- Training
- Accommodation and subsistence
- Catering and hospitality
- Storage and Transportation
- Insurance/Security
Of all the above costs, the only items offering long-term re-use at other venues are Stand Costs and Graphics. Consequently,
consider allocating the budget appropriately.
Effective Planning and Preparation
- Plan ahead - allow for up to 9 - 12 months for new or large events or 3 - 6 months for regular or smaller exhibitions.
- Appoint an Exhibition Co-ordinator to have overall responsibility for organising the stand and show staff.
- Set Measurable Objectives - from your corporate objectives, set targets in the forms of enquiries, sales, exposure in media
etc. to measure the exhibitions success.
- Prepare a written Plan/Brief - space requirements, design, products, on site services (power, water etc.), staffing levels,
show linked marketing, data capture, and evaluation criteria, action plan - timetable, key tasks, persons responsible for them,
deadline for completion.
- Brief all your stand staff.
- Encourage Appointments.
- Attract visitors - with prize draws, product demonstrations and competitions.
At the Event - creating the Lasting Impression and The Art of Attraction
Your display, your floorshow and your special offers can only do so much to attract potential custom; the rest is up to your people.
Ask open-ended questions, don't allow visitors to answer just "yes" or "no". The phrase "can I help you?" has very rarely worked.
Your body language is as important as what you say. Try to develop a way of making eye contact with potential clients, while still
talking to an existing visitor. Practice passing on a visitor to other staff thus freeing up your front line troops to bag another potential customer.
Build in time for you and your staff to walk around the show, you may find potential new business in and on other stands, or
even new suppliers. Always be prepared: the next enquiry could be the big one.
The individuals you choose to staff your stand make or break the event. Nothing is more off-putting to a visitor than a gaggle of
bored, hangover staff sitting around chatting on your stand.
A briefing session is a must to define your targets. Give each person an area of responsibility, front of stand, walkabout duty.
An organised stand is actually fun to work on...Honest!
Staffing Hints:
- Dress smartly
- Wear comfortable shoes
- Nominate a stand manager
- Wear name tags (sorry - people need to know your name)
- Greet people at the edge of the stand
- Be polite and professional
- Never smoke or eat at the stand
- Don't sit down!
Be on the lookout for potential time wasters who come in various guises:
- Competitors looking for information
- Sales people
- Complainers
- Literature magpies
Your purpose is to sell or promote, so at the end of each day hold a debrief session with your staff, it'll help discover what works
and what doesn't.
Post Exhibition Follow up
Have an after-exhibition post-mortem as soon as you can, preferably within a week.
The whole event will have been a waste of time unless you are prepared to devote as much time and effort to following up your
leads as you did for the show.
Generally the first contact should be in writing within the first week. You won't lose any business by being too quick to follow up.
Your letter should be an acknowledgement of your meeting and the subjects discussed, this will show the potential client that they
are important to you.
Follow up all sales leads proactively immediately in a concerted prioritised plan.
Measuring the Success
- Generate quantified results from your participation.
- How many leads did you take? - track all generated enquiries.
- What was the cost per enquiry?
- What exposure did you achieve - trade publications etc?
- How many were new prospects?
- Were objectives achieved?
- How as the stand received - visitors, stand personnel, management etc?
- What were your conclusions of the show?
- How can you improve future performance?
