Dear Exhibitors:
If you want to shakeup your booth attendance and future sales prospects, take a look at your pre-show promotion program. Pre-show promotions can raise your show attendance by 34%. However they can also improve both your company goodwill and the potential for attendees to buy. But to gain these advantages, you may need to modify your promotions program.

A pre-show card with an invitation will increase your attendance. If you add a gift with this promotion and tie it to a gift at the booth, you can achieve a 40% improvement in the "recommend to buy" category. Also you can gain 100% in perceived company goodwill. 

With careful consideration and planning, your pre-show promotion program can add to your exhibit ROI.

Keeping Up Morale During Trying Times
 
I'm not sure who the first person to ever say "what goes up must come down" was, but truer words were never spoken. We can universally agree on this rule as we've seen it demonstrated time and again. The economy, the airplane, and the apple--none are exempt from this natural law. The trick, however, is to figure out a way to keep morale up through all the fluctuations that occur in a company's life cycle. There will be great quarters, but there will also be greatly disappointing quarters.

So how do you keep this roller coaster ride from affecting the moral of your staff, the ones who are most directly affected by these changing tides? Here are a few tips gathered from behavioral professionals, counselors, managers, and mailroom clerks alike.

1. Be Honest. Trust your employees enough to tell them the truth about what is going on in the organization. If times are good, let them know. If times are bad, be equally honest. 

2. Communicate. How can your employees know what you want done unless you tell them? Conversely, keeping the lines of communication open 
in your organization will also encourage your employees to come to you when there may be a problem on the horizon (e.g. they can't meet a deadline, they need extra help, etc.)

3. Don't Pass Blame. Once in a while you will have an employee who just doesn't make the cut, but overall, this is generally not the case. It is not your staff's fault that the economy is down or that your competitor just came out with the latest and greatest product in your field. Put your energy into creating solutions not harboring unhealthy emotions.

4. Keep Busy. Even if production is down, there's always more to do. Maybe now is the time to reorganize the warehouse to make it run more efficiently or clean out the files and store them to disc. You know what they say about idle hands...

5. Say Thank You. This may seem a bit too simple, but survey after survey has shown that this is the most effective way to keep your staff happy. Let them know they've done a job well done. These two little words will go a long long way.
