Trade Show Marketing
Trade shows enable you to connect more directly to your market in an environment that is personal and one-to-one and can be one of the most profitable and cost-effective means for promoting your company and your products and services. Carefully chosen trade shows offer a number of terrific opportunities to build relationships and awareness.Some businesses spend somewhere around 18% of their marketing budgets on trade show marketing. They often justify the expense with rationale like "We do it every year," and "Our competitors are doing it." Most companies have no idea what value they are getting for that investment. Worse, many companies tend to think of trade show marketing in merely tactical terms. Certainly there are a lot of moving parts involved; the logistics can be overwhelming. But for best results, trade shows also need to be considered strategically, as part of an integrated go-to-market plan.
