"Conferences are hit or miss" The truth is, you're probably just not doing it right. Here’s how we make every conference a goldmine for sales and partnerships: Define Your Mission: Don't just show up—have a plan. Whether it's networking, learning, or finding new business opportunities, know your goals before you walk through the door. Do Your Homework: Know who will be there. Research speakers and attendees, and connect with key players before the event. Set up meetings with anyone you think is relevant. Get Involved: Stop being a spectator. Ask tough questions, engage in discussions, and share your insights. Your active participation can set you apart from the crowd. Network Like a Pro: Focus on quality over quantity. Build genuine connections with people who matter, and follow up to keep those relationships alive. Take Action: Don’t let your insights gather dust. Reflect on what you've learned, share it with your team, and implement the best ideas immediately. Our team at Shoplazza will be crushing it in POS and Ecommerce at eTail next week - see you at booth 403 #etail #etailboston #ecommerce

If you are the founder of a product brand, you might just be juggling too many balls to look up once in a while to actually work ON your business. 👍 Your day-to-day is led by your amazing vision and a great marketing plan, but in reality you’re too busy to stop and think about the foundations you need to support your growth, build agility and continue to innovate to stay ahead of the competition. I created the Retail Huddle; Elevate Your Retail Game event because I have noticed over the years that most ‘small-business’ events aren't tailored to the intricacies and unique challenges of starting and growing a product-based business. ✅ It's time to change the game, and that's exactly why I'm hosting an event that will serve only retail product-based businesses where you can connect and network with people in your own industry. 🤩 We will focus on breaking down the overwhelm of the BIG stuff which you need to know about, but in a way that empowers you, not overwhelms you. The event aims to empower, educate, inspire BIG thinking and open your minds to the ‘art of the possible’ in your product business so that you can navigate the dynamic and ever-evolving retail landscape. 👏 Spaces are limited get your tickets here >>> https://lnkd.in/ecKexyYq #resetwithreelschallenge #businesssecretsclub

The Great Trade Show Debate: Are They Worth It? Trade shows have long been a staple in the business world, but are they really worth the time and effort? And if so, which ones should we prioritize? Industry Shows These events are filled with our industry peers. Catching up with old friends, discussing market trends, and learning about new innovations and product launches can be exhilarating. But after the excitement fades, we must ask ourselves: Was it truly productive to leave the office? Merchants Trade Shows Attending is just the beginning. Exhibitors are in full selling mode, and the right person must be at the stand to make conversations worthwhile. Interacting with retailers and traders is crucial, but simply handing out leaflets or stopping people in the aisles is frowned upon by organizers. Taking a booth makes you official. You can distribute literature, showcase your USP, and demonstrate your commitment to the industry. However, merchants are focused on buying. Are they looking for payment solutions or other allied products? Are the decision-makers present, or just the buying team? At Smarta Payments, we see our US clients attending different conferences and events almost weekly, while in Europe, the approach is more selective. Whenever you speak to someone who has attended a show, they always rave about how great it was. But are they being truthful, or just justifying the investment? We’d love to hear your thoughts. If you’re a retailer or merchant, how do you view service and tech vendors at these shows? And if you’re a service or tech vendor, how do you decide which shows to attend? Your insights are greatly valued. #payments #merchantservices #TradeShows #IndustryEvents #MarketTrends #SalesStrategies #ConferenceInsights #RetailInsights #TradeShowDebate #EventStrategy #BusinessEvents

Facilitating Food & CPG Peer Groups to Help Leaders Make Confident Decisions | Top 100 Retail Experts
A hot topic that gets discussed often is the best way to engage grocery buyers and get back into a cadence of in-person meetings, like it was pre-covid. I don’t think buyer engagement is going to look like never-ending 30-minute in-person meetings again. I’ve been thinking about this a lot while enjoying the Expo West show in Anaheim this week. Almost every grocery buyer is here, and they are excited to be here. The show floor is packed and loud. Restaurants, bars, hotels, park benches, empty booths, meeting rooms: all packed. There is so much interaction that people can’t find spaces to stand and talk. The outcome: manufactures are raving about great meetings and interactions. I contend that the in-person events, especially trade shows, are the best forum to engage grocery buyers with new ideas. Meaningful connections, inspired discussions, and rich conversations drive businesses forward. National Restaurant Association Show, NACS Shows 2024 (when its in Vegas), National Retail Federation, Grocerytalk, PLMA - Private Label Manufacturers Association have all been amazing shows post-pandemic because everyone is ready to engage. Well-run, in-person trade shows feature speakers, panels, and discussions that encourage industry engagement and spark new ideas. Its no wonder these shows are a fountain of creativity, strategy, and discussion. Buyers and manufactures: grab breakfast together, grab a drink at a happy hour, or just share a bench for lunch. It seems like it’s time to rethink what we define a successful meeting. From a buyer’s perspective, why would they ever want to return to back-to-back thirty-minute in-person meetings in a windowless conference room to then trudge back to their desk to see how far behind you are on email. I lived that life for 15 years, it’s not exciting. As our recent Drive Wheel LLC peer groups have discussed, now is a great time to reimagine buyer/manufacturer interactions. Think about what needs to happen in-person at trade shows and facility tours (strategy), online (operational details), or on email (everything else). What do you think? How do you think buyer/manufacture relationships will evolve in the future? #expowest #groceryindustry #buyerengagement
