How prompt is your sales force when it comes to getting in front of your trade show prospects?

Trade Shows generally are a marketplace for getting new customers, why is it that so many leads are left untouched?

If you divide your leads into categories, and set goals for follow up, you will have a easy to follow plan.  With online event management that has an extensive cost per lead feature, you can precisely target leads and generate reports to see what trade shows are getting you in front of the best audience for your products and services.

The fallacies of why people don’t follow up on trade show leads:

• Attendees will be burned out after the show and won’t be willing to talk

• They won’t remember my company or conversation they saw so many

• I gave them brochures and they have my card

Those are just some of the reasons we have heard throughout the years.  With a lead retrieval systems, the ease of scanning trade show badges when you are with a booth visitor has gotten to be high tech.  There are no excuses for leaving those leads sitting in the bottom of a briefcase.   When your company decides to participate in a trade show, have your follow up plan included in the preparation.

Most companies go into trade shows with an objective,  either a new product or service, using that service or product model for the base of  follow up actions will alleviate some of the frustration.  Have a brain storming session with your marketing department and sales force before the trade show to plan your follow up strategy and structure your lead qualifying process.

If your boss asked you today to produce some reports and analysis for your trade show marketing, would you have the answer at your disposal?

Saving Money-The Basics

By filling out your trade show forms correctly, you can save over 30%.

Are your trade show service forms filled out before the deadline?
Are you aware that your EAC (Exhibitor Appointed Contractor) Form and your Lead Retrieval form are due at different times than your Material Handling, Booth Cleaning, Carpeting, Floral and Electrical forms ?

Meeting these important deadlines will save money and time, allowing your trade show managers and coordinators the ability to turn their attention and time to all the other aspects of marketing.

Never miss a deadline again!

Freight – Consolidation

The keys to saving money on trade show freight are to ship to the advance warehouse and consolidating your shipments.

Do you know how many skids your trade show display, promotional items and literature fit on?

Did you know that if you have to ship a carton of  literature from your office, it can cost as much as shipping an entire skid? Why pay $200.00 or more for a few boxes of literature when it can be included with your exhibit properties.

By following these guidelines and paying close attention to scheduling, we avoid burning up your budget when it comes to shipments & freight.  No more overnight shipping charges.  We have checks and balances to make sure that everything you need for your trade show is included and consolidated to help with cost savings.

Lead Generation

This is money well spent, how many business cards do you have laying in the bottom of your briefcase?

Who will enter all those leads from the fish bowl into your database?

Over 80% of trade show attendee’s polled said they have never been contacted after the show ends?

Strike when the iron is hot.

These leads can be easily imported into our online event management software and followed up on while the lead is fresh.  Why let your leads go dead?  Isn’t this why you are exhibiting in the first place?

Calculating cost per lead you will see the effectiveness of online event management software.
