To get the most out of a trade show event, you need to properly prepare. While checklists are a great way to stay organized, but there are other important considerations to make. In fact, many considerations will make a simpler checklist that will lessen the burden for preparations leading up to a trade show event.

Who are your neighbors?

The businesses located around your trade show booth can make an impact on how you should set up your displays. How a neighboring booth is viewed can drastically change how you decide to prepare for the event. Being placed next to a show-stopping booth, for instance, can have two sides. On one hand, more people will be near your booth, which can heighten chances of more people stopping by. On the other hand, your booth can fade into the background if you aren’t careful.

The placement has a huge potential to distract attendees from what you have to offer. After all, unlike in other marketing efforts, everyone at a trade show is your competition, even when their products or services vastly differ from your own. This is because a trade show is about getting attention and networking as opposed to strictly sales.

Consider Sponsorship with the Trade Show

Attending the event as a sponsor or as a presenter can get the most out of your money. This is because it gives better opportunity to not only promote your brand but to educate the attendees on your services and industry. Not only will you have more exposure for your brand, but you will appear to be an expert.

Having fresh and relevant topics to discuss can establish you as a voice in the industry. When a consumer has the option between an expert and someone that simply does the same thing, chances are they will go to the expert voice.

Know Your Target

At any of these events, there will be a ton of people from all different walks of life. Rather than just trying to get everyone and anyone into your booth, it pays to have a cohesive plan on how to get your target audience’s attention and bring them to your display. This laser-focus will not only help generate better sales, it will make set up much easier.

When you don’t have much of a focus, your display will naturally look less put together.
