Choosing the Right Trade Shows
Title: Choosing the Right Trade Shows
Summary:
Let's face it, many exhibitors leave trade shows vowing never to return. With the growing number of events, how do you choose the right ones? It's essential to plan strategically rather than settling on a single show for the year. For example, if you're in manufacturing, aim for at least two shows annually, perhaps more, depending on your needs.

Trade shows can be hit or miss; we've all experienced shows that didn’t quite meet expectations. With so many options available, selecting the right ones is crucial. Instead of relying on just one show for the entire year, craft a strategic plan. Depending on your industry, like manufacturing, consider attending at least two shows annually?"one in spring and one in fall. This timing aligns with various sales cycles and provides opportunities for your sales team to engage with potential clients and existing customers, who might not get as much attention otherwise. It’s also an ideal moment to launch new products and services. If your organization targets multiple large markets, attending more shows is definitely worthwhile.
But which shows should you choose? Here are some considerations:
For national shows, assess where your booth will be located and the current trends among exhibitors. Will your booth be near the entrance, or tucked away in a less desirable spot? Analyze whether this year’s exhibitor list matches last year’s, or if numbers are declining. If the event is organized by your industry association, check if valuable symposia are being offered. Are there opportunities for your sales manager to speak or join panel discussions? If not, your customers might skip the event too.
Survey your top ten customers about the shows they attend, and do the same with high-potential prospects. Although it seems obvious, it's an effective marketing tactic.
For regional or local shows, contact the show manager to inquire about attendance trends over the past few years. If attendance is growing or steady, consider participating. If not, it might not be worth your time.
For regional shows, investigate your competitors’ involvement. If they plan to attend, your absence might be noticeable. On the other hand, if attendance is increasing and they're not there, it could be an excellent opportunity for you. If your competitors used to attend but don’t anymore, dig deeper to ensure the prospects align with your goals.
When it comes to local events, evaluate the venue carefully. If it's in a hotel or motel, ensure there’s adequate space?"not just a hallway. A convention center or exhibition hall, however, could be ideal since it’s nearby, and you can easily rotate staff at your booth.
Remember, regardless of the show, the organization that attracts the most visitors to its booth ultimately wins. Planning and presence are key to maximizing your trade show success.
