RAI Amsterdam’s Post

During the fair, all members of your team have to focus on their duties. It’s important to make Evening/morning wrap-ups and discuss the last day. Include in planning site briefings for the members who arrive late. For gathering contacts, you have to prepare some blanks with pre-ready points you want to know about a company. Mostly ( but not only ) contact cards include the company name, contact person and role, type of company, its interest, some additional comments - who talked to, his business card, does he wants to receive a newsletter or personal offers. Of course, on your both will come some existing clients. And your team has to be ready to collect more information that will be useful in future cooperation. All partners have to be in your CRM system, but always nice to have more info about financial situation, payment history, referrals from it and about it, ownership structure, current and new products and services/brand, quality and price level, service and maintenance policy, main customers, know-how, coverage of sales team, motivation, personal connection, requirements. During the exhibition you have control: creating first contact managing the conversation product presentation manage press contacts on stage and backstage arriving and leaving booth manager duty (coffee, snacks, cleaning booth, and stock room cleaning)            Remember, your booth has to be organized with enough backstage – your team always will need some relaxation or time to refresh. After the fair, you need to create a contacts database and analyze the efficiency compared to previous fairs and your expectation; evaluate and suggest improvements. In the next part, we will talk about the evaluation of the results of the exhibition. Go2Export, thanks to its experience of many years of organizing exhibitions and participating in them, is always ready to help make participation more effective.

As an introvert, trade fairs can be a challenge for me. So many people, so much noise. It often overwhelms me. Shoutout to Staffery GmbH which quickly became my favourite stall at Zukunft Personal Europe 2024 in Cologne. While I learned much about their product, the conversation felt like chatting with a friend. No pressure, no sales pitch. It was a good reminder that: 👉 Genuine connections matter: They can make even the busiest events feel manageable. 👉 Our brains remember through emotions: I recall every stat of their demo. 👉 Authentic sales works: Building trust closes deals. How do you handle conferences as an introvert? #Authenticity #Networking #PersonalGrowth

We have already said why we choose exhibitions as not only the start of promotion, but also maintenance, but the advantages of exhibitions do not end there. Educational Seminars and Workshops: Many trade shows include seminars, workshops, and panel discussions covering industry-specific topics. These educational sessions provide an opportunity for both exhibitors and attendees to stay updated on the latest trends and developments. International Exposure: Trade shows often attract a diverse audience, including international participants. This global exposure can open doors for businesses looking to expand their reach and explore new markets. Media Coverage: Major trade shows attract media attention, providing an additional avenue for companies to showcase their products and achievements. Positive media coverage can significantly boost a brand's image and credibility. Sales and Lead Generation: For many businesses, trade shows serve as a direct sales channel. Exhibitors can generate leads, close deals, and secure partnerships during the event. Industry Collaboration: Trade shows bring together professionals from various facets of an industry. Collaborative opportunities, joint ventures, and partnerships often arise as a result of these interactions. In summary, trade shows play a pivotal role in the business world, offering a dynamic environment for networking, marketing, and business development. Participation in these events can yield tangible benefits for companies looking to grow and thrive within their respective industries. #TradeShowExcellence #BusinessConnections #ExpoInnovation #IndustryShowcase #NetworkingHub #TradeShowSuccess #B2BEvents #ExhibitionInsights #MarketplaceShowdown #EventNetworking #BusinessGrowthExpo #TradeShowStrategy #InnovateAndElevate #ExpoExperience #CollaborateConquer #TradeShowTrends #ShowcaseSuccess #NetworkingNiche #BizEventPros #IndustryCollaboration

Why would you spend thousands of pounds to exhibit at a conference or expo and have no data collection or follow-up strategy? One of the biggest mistakes startups and side hustlers make when exhibiting at large or small events is not having a data capture strategy or a lead follow-up strategy. The fact is that most people don't see a return on investment on the day. The magic is in the follow-up, which most businesses don't think about. Our expo is built with startups in mind. We can help you hone your sales pitch and build a compelling offer that will help you answer people's questions in a clear and concise way. Our expo team is here to help you get a return on your investment. Join us at the East London Business Expo on Saturday, October 12th at the City Gates Conference Center. This is your golden opportunity to showcase your business, connect with industry leaders, and expand your network in ways that only face-to-face interactions can achieve. 🔥 Spaces are filling up FAST. Last year's spots were snatched up quickly, and many exhibitors have already rebooked. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this premier business event.
