No matter what it is that your business does, you might be surprised at how much of a positive effect advertising at an exhibition can have. It is genuinely one of the first kinds of marketing that you should look into as a business, and it’s one that you can use to bring about some pretty remarkable results if you are careful with what you’re doing. Of course, it is often the case that people approach this kind of situation without fully researching it, which rarely ends in great success. In this article, we are going to look at some of the things you need to consider if you want to absolutely rock it at your next exhibition – whether it’s your first or your fiftieth.

The Stand Says It All

Ultimately, it’s all about attracting as many people as possible, and to do that you need to make sure that you have a good stand which accurately reflects the business in some way or another. If you take a look at these examples from Open Exhibitions, you will see that stands can come in as many different styles as there are individual businesses, so you never need to worry that yours is going to look like someone else’s. But in order to be sure of that, you do need to spend some time focusing on what your brand is going to be, so that the exhibition stand can truly reflect it as loyal as possible. With that, you will be able to proudly display the colours of your business, in such a way as to attract as many people as possible.

A Little Conversation Goes A Long Way

One of the most important decisions besides the choice of the stand is who to put up at the front talking to people. If you want it to be you, then by all means go for it – but you need to be honest with yourself about your own interpersonal skills. Is it possible that someone else might be able to do the job a little better than you? You need someone who has a way with words, who can easily and effortlessly get into meaningful and flowing conversations with someone, and who is likely to ultimately be able to make a sale. Put that individual on the stand, and you will make so much more of the whole day.

Compete, But Don’t Intrude

Your job is to stand out more than your competitors, to get more interest and ultimately more sales, and to have the longest queue of all. In achieving this, you obviously need to be as competitive as you can, but you should do so without intruding on the space of others. There is a general rule of etiquette here which needs to be followed if you are to make the most of the day – and get invited back – so make sure you don’t step on any toes. If you do, you will only be worsening the reputation of your own business in the long run.
