Dear Exhibitors, 

Every self-respecting Leprechaun knows there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. For exhibitors, your leads are the rainbow to the pot o' gold: new sales. But many exhibitors lose their way because they don't keep the rainbow in sight.

During the show, do you leave leads in your booth? If so, they are a prime target for a competitor who can take them or at least gain a copy of them. At the end of a show, who handles your leads? Are they left to ship back with the exhibit or put into someone's suitcase? This leaves them open to theft or loss. How quickly are your leads brought into the office, collated and followed? If you take more than several weeks, you will miss about 61% of the new sales opportunities. These prospects have already made their decision.

A better model would be to send leads back daily via either an overnight service or e-mail (if you use electronic data collection) to your office. Here, prearranged information packets are sent by your office support staff to the prospects. When your sales team returns to the office, they catch up on other work for a day before starting their follow-up calls.

The rainbow is in full view and ready to lead to your pot o' gold.

Sincerely,

Q: Mr. Deegs, why are my shipping bills higher this year than they were last year for the exact same exhibit?
-Mike, Rochester, NY

A: Very good question Mike. I'm sure you've noticed that auto fuel prices have increased significantly in the past year. Some would blame it on the problems in the Middle East, others would blame it arbitrarily on OPEC. The truth of the matter, however, is that in addition to the higher fuel charges, many shipping

 companies have also started charging a security fee. In order to get the best rates possible, try to lump all of your shipments into one. Also, try to use the same shipping company all of the time, so you can bargain yourself into some better rates.

Q: Deegs, what do they mean when they say "print ready" artwork?
-Linda, Cleveland, OH

A: Hi Linda. Print ready artwork refers to the art file that you give your graphic or exhibit house that is producing your final piece (exhibit panel, backlit transparency, brochure, etc.). Depending on the type of output, the requirements may change, but a basic rule of thumb is this: 100 dpi (dots per inch, resolution) for an exhibit graphic or large poster, and 200 dpi for a brochure (some printers require more, but 200 will give you a very fine output). Check with the printer, but these should typically be saved as a pdf, tiff, eps, ai, psd, or qrk file.
