What are some things I can do in advance to prepare for exhibiting at a tradeshow?

Answered By Ellen Hambey, Editor


Preparation is very important in operating a trade show. Therefore, you need to do some important things in advance in order to avoid problems and make your exhibit a success. Here are some suggestions:
  • Plan and make arrangements well in advance of show dates.
  • Visit and walk through the facility and look for potential problems that would inhibit your success like food courts, competition and accessibility.
  • Avail lead retrieval services if they are available from show management or contract agencies.
  • Train your trade show team
  • Months prior to the show, spend time informing existing clients and your market of the upcoming show.
  • Seek help or consult experts in trade shows in developing an appealing booth, staff scheduling, and market campaigning prior to the show kick-off.
  • Sales staff should have more extra time and incentive to contact and follow-up show leads within weeks of exhibit.

Following these steps will give you no headaches and will definitely lead to a successful trade show. Make sure not to rush things to avoid problems.
