Dear Exhibitors,

Due to all the rain in Southern California, we're in full bloom, but how about your tradeshow leads. Are you finding roses or crab grass? As we have discussed before, a preshow mailing can help improve booth attendance and quality by over 30%. However simple sending a postcard to the pre-registered list may not be enough.

After determining the objectives for your mailing, you need to find and attract the highest quality prospect. Just like flowers have evolved to attract bees, your mailing needs to be interesting enough to avoid being sent to the compost heap. So not only is the message itself important, so is the delivery. Using high-quality, oversize or irregular shapes will help promote your mail piece above others.

Your most attractive prospects improve your ROI. Just as our bee pollinates the more attractive flowers, a high-quality mailing to a more targeted audience will yield better results.

With summer approaching, we will hopefully dry out soon, but don't let your tradeshow lead generation do the same. Keep it into full bloom by fertilizing the best prospects with your stimulating message.

Sincerely,


richard.diess@advancedexhibitmethods.com

Dear Deegs, I've seen our competitors hand out promotional materials at the shows. Is this just a waste of money, or can this really be a good marketing tool?
Scott, Autin, TX

Dear Scott,

Promotional hand-outs can indeed be an effective marketing tool. When used properly, they serve a two-fold purpose: catch your prospect's attention and remind them of your presence.

The first step to great results from your premium program is to make wise selections. Although tempting, resist the urge to go with the first neat gizmo that catches your eye. You can maximize your results by keeping some strategic points in mind when making your choices:

1. Know your intended audience. Who will be attending this show? What items would be the most useful in their line of work? If you are aiming for a particular industry, think about items that they would use every day. With today's premium offerings, you can select anything from stress-balls and toolkits to flashlights and dictionaries printed with your logo and message.

2. Choose items that are representative of you and your industry. Although that plastic toy is fun to play with, what does it really say about your company?

Select items that are both entertaining and functional and will give attendees a clear reflection of your company and it's products. What about in a hard to define industry? Rather than handing out something completely unrelated to your business, choose practical items that can be used by anyone. Letter openers and memo dispensers can be customized with your logo and will remain on your prospect's desk as an ever present reminder of your company.

3. Make an impact by being creative with your design choices. Practicality goes a long way in ensuring that your item will be used and seen daily. But just because an item is practical does not mean it has to be boring. Something as simple as a pencil holder is useful and stays on the desktop in constant view of your potential customer, but can be made artistic and original with your color and shape choices.

Promotional items can be useful in more arenas than just the trade show floor. Customized premiums can be sent as thank-you's, holiday-related gifts, or promotional announcements when you release a new product or service as well.

Accessorize!

No fancy writing on this one--let's just list out the benefits of incorporating exhibit accessories into your trade show program:

1. Change or supplement your existing message without incurring the larger costs of refurbing your booth.

2. Use lit stands throughout your booth to display and distribute your literature in an organized manner while reinforcing your visual message.

3. Retractable banner stands can be used in a number of ways including transforming from a full height banner to a table top banner when needed.

4. Portability--use your banner and lit stands in hospitality suites and meeting rooms. When your done, you can simply pack them up and bring them back to the booth.

5. Use accessories in show and hotel lobbies where you are exhibiting or have a suite. You can even customize these to have arrows pointing the way or write the suite number on the banner.

These are just a few reasons why exhibit accessories can be a very effective tool in your trade show program. The possibilities are endless though.
