Showing up at any event, big or small, is a reflection of your brand. If you’re sending a tent and a wrinkled tablecloth, it might be time to rethink things! Set your team up to win, because how you show up matters everywhere. 🚀 #BrandMatters #EventSuccess #ShowUpStrong #DetailsCount #WinTheDay #EventPrep #FirstImpressionsMatter

Picture this: it's 12:30, hungry attendees await lunch while a sponsored activation offers free waffles. Sounds good, right? Well… Only if you visit 8 stands, engage with each brand and get your 'passport' stamped. That’s what happened in a recent event I attended last week. While the waffles were tempting, I could not be asked to listen to 8 reps pitching while I was hungry. This situation brings to mind a post by Liz Lathan, CMP about a sponsored hot dog cart at a trade show, where a marketing rep scanned the badges of every guest. It feels like a missed opportunity, doesn't it? What do you think could have been done differently? Here is a coupe of ideas: 💡 Create a content or game for attendees to play while waiting 💡 Offer a zone near the waffle station where attendees can recharge and engage with brand representatives in a more casual setting 💡 Incorporate gamification elements into the passport system, such as offering prizes or rewards for completing certain challenges or visiting specific stands - after the waffles #eventprofs #opportunity #exhibition #conference #tradeshow

Great PGA Show this year! Attendance was up, more exhibitors and A LOT of buzz all week about tech and customer/member experience. While we at On-Pin International (Bob Baldassari PGA and Randy Clay) did not have a booth, we were able to make some incredible connections and are excited about the future. If you haven't talked to me about how our GPS and VerifEye systems can help you solve your everyday challenges, you should. Those that we met with at the Show can't wait to get installed and help share their stories. We're giving out some great "friends and family" deals to those that help us get the ball rolling on the North American market. Enough pitch, here's my TOP 5 Products and/or Services from this year's Show, and no, I'm not a paid presenter!: T-1. ORCA Golf Bags - Winner of the Soft Goods product award from ING this year, their Golf Bags are AMAZING!!!! Custom designed golf and travel bags that are simply outstanding. T-1. ZIGIT - If you are a public or semi-private club and you didn't think this was an amazing way to increase your F&B APR by $1.50-$2.00 with no added labor and minimal investment, you're nuts! Facial recognition with touchless alcohol vending on course...just ridiculous! 3. GolfBack - John Brown and his team at GolfBack are your key to escaping the death grip of GolfNow! Their solutions to Online Booking, CRM Data capturing and retargeting, Website and Marketing are the way to go! 4. Signature Golf - Their travel packages are second to none and they will give your members the wow factor they are looking for when traveling to Scotland, Ireland, UK and a ton of other locations. First Class! 5. Specialfaces.com - This product didn't have a booth but met with PGA Professional Bruce Carter, the Co-Founder of the Charitable Foundation in support of individuals with special needs, disabled Veterans and the disenfranchised. They design and create unique and interesting shoelaces. Everyone needs shoelaces, so why not get awesome ones that also support a great cause. Again, great show and am incredibly excited about the future of the industry. As a whole, we are starting to come to grips with changing times, changing customers and new technology! It's about time and about to get fun...better hang on for the ride!

A little reminder to all the Champions I’ve profiled: 🔦 roll the thunder - people will listen 🔦 shine that Olympic torch on a cause or brand that you feel passionately about - people will see 🔦 become a thought leader in your industry - boost your credibility and confidence 🔦 manage your patience with the people around you who you feel are ‘slowing you down’ - remember that they help you to deliver 🔦 set up great processes to support your goals - delegate or automate this task 🔦swap the bus that you use to drive your team and get a rowing boat - all working together and moving in the same direction 😉

Amazon started in a garage, Facebook started in a university dorm, and Gym Shark started with Ben hand making each item. These are just a few tales of massive organisations starting with a single step. Similar to hiking everest, you cannot be deterred by the large challenge ahead if you want to climb. Facing a large challenge requires persistance and consistency. Just remember, one step after another. Don't be afraid to try new things or take on new challenges. Start small. All great achievements start with a single step; what's yours? What steps would you take if no one was watching? If no one was there to pass opinion? How many people have never even attempted to pursue their dream, let alone achieve it, simply because they feared the judgement and ridicule of others? Growth isn't just about being better, for the sake of being better. It's about mastering yourself to live your happiest, fullest, most free and fulfilling life. Do it for yourself, do it for those around you.

What do Stubble & Co, Too Good To Go, gowithYamo - The Art Exhibition App, Elvis & Kresse, Bare Kind Socks | B Corp and Minor Figures all have in common? Besides a super on it team member who saw a fabulous opportunity on our LinkedIn and ran with it? They’re all B Corp superstars, like ourselves, who wanted to collaborate on our B Corp bonanza that we ran in honour of B Corp Month. (Yes, we have just name-dropped B Corp 3 times in one sentence…) In keeping with the B Corp mantra of transforming business to be a force of good, we wanted to connect these fabulous companies with our sustainably-minded users with FREE ad space, yes, you heard that right, free ad space on our Video Ads platform. Not only were we able to help celebrate the environmentally and socially responsible missions, products and ethos of these 6 companies, but by doing so we were able to reward our users with over 200,000 free minutes of riding for engaging with the content. Plus, it made us feel all warm and fuzzy to be able to give back to our B Corp pals. So it really was a win-win situation - we’re happy, our fellow B Corp-ers are happy and our users are happy.
