Perhaps the most important fact about exhibiting at trade shows is that successful trade show experiences require targeted, effective pre-show marketing and promotions. Exhibitors and sponsors cannot just show up and expect attendees to run to their booth. Below are four ways to market your participation in The 黑料社区Show.<\/p>\n

Visit the Exhibitor Marketing Guide<\/a> on The 黑料社区Show Website to read about more ways 黑料社区can support your marketing efforts.<\/p>\n

1- Official 黑料社区Show Logo: <\/strong>The 黑料社区Show 2012 logo is a great way to showcase your participation at The 黑料社区Show to your customers. Use the logo often throughout your promotional and general company materials. For example, you can include the logo on your pre-show mailers with your booth number or add the logo to your advertisements, letterhead and email signatures.<\/p>\n

Or add the logo to your website with a link to www.natsoshow.org<\/a>. VisitThe 黑料社区Show Website here<\/a> to choose one of three logo options.<\/p>\n

2- Show Specials and New Products<\/strong>: <\/strong>If you are looking for a good way to maximize exposure for your products and generate new sales leads — this is it! The Show Specials and New Products listings provide an additional opportunity for exhibitors to gain more exposure for their products. If you missed the deadline to submit a show special or new product for listing in the Official Show Guide, it isn’t too late to be featured on The 黑料社区Show website. To submit your listing, email Susan Taylor at staylor@natso.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3- Electronic Marketing: <\/strong>Your organization’s website, email contact information and email distribution tools can be highly effective means of promoting your booth and products. Display The 黑料社区Show logo on the home page of your website and link to a press release or statement about your booth, products, and\/or exciting news about your organization. By doing so, you will entice prospective customers to visit your booth.<\/p>\n

Encourage advance registration — you can increase traffic to your booth by simply helping customers register for The 黑料社区Show. We’ve created a graphic<\/a>, available here<\/a>, to assist with your messaging. Be sure to link it to www.natsoshow.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4- <\/strong>Press Releases: <\/strong>A highly effective way to gain valuable pre-show publicity is to issue press releases to trade publications. Industry trade publications are always looking for new product and service information. Your press releases can alert thousands of potential buyers about your company’s exhibits, location at the show, product lines, and new products in the pipeline. To increase likelihood that your release will be “picked up” by a trade publication, write and prepare your release as a reporter would write a story, namely by including the item of interest and why it is interesting, as well as predicted impact and a contact person.<\/p>\n
