Trade Show Marketing Tip

From here on in you are reading an excerpt from The World's Most Powerful Trade Show Marketing Guide.

Search Out All Possible Shows

Make a list of all possible shows, conferences, and events that could be related to your show goals.

Take all of your research from all the sources we talked about and make a list of the shows.

The first time I did this for my industry I thought, "What good will this be? I know all the shows."

BUT

When I made the list and put down the dates, suddenly a plan took form.

We could organize our efforts around times and locations and other events. (Remember your product launch timeline?)

Then when we talked about our show plan, we knew we had to make choices. Our budget didn't allow us to go to every show.

So we made the following adjustments. One: we moved a product announcement date forward to capitalize on a critical show. Two: we split one big show into two smaller ones to have a steady stream of leads to feed the sales force with. Three: we cancelled an unrelated show. Four: we walked the floor of a local show to evaluate it for next year.

All from a list that I didn't think would help all that much!
