Getting noticed at a trade show is not easy: you're competing with masses of competitors and other businesses for the attention of tired and overwhelmed attendees. An inviting, modern-looking display can help draw prospects in — but it won't do the selling. Here are some suggestions on how to make the most of your trade show experience.

Trade show tips

• Stay focused. Don't try to explain everything about your company in the first conversation. Quickly introduce your main selling point — a new product or feature, usually — and encourage the prospect to sign your mailing list or lead sheet. If they're really interested, you can do your in-depth sales pitch another time.
• Don't neglect the before and after work. Sending promotional emails or direct mail to your current customers and prospects can increase traffic at your booth, and follow-up communications should reinforce the messages from the show.
• Appeal to the stomach. Competing with high-priced giveaways that larger corporations can afford can be hard — but a supply of candy can always grab peoples' eyes. Once their eyes bring them to your booth, their ears are all yours.
• Stay friendly. Make sure everyone who's working in your booth has a pleasant demeanor and enough energy to last the day. It's a good idea to give employees time to roam the hall themselves, too.
• Two tiers of handouts. Use basic one-sheets or even postcards as a general handout — give them to anyone who makes eye contact with you. Keep a stack of more high-quality promotional materials — booklets or slick folders — in reserve, and hand those out only to prospects who display significant interest. This gives you the best combination blanket coverage and cost savings.
