To the Exhibitor 1. What is Work-Life Balance all about?
In a nutshell, the concept of work-life balance is to find
effective ways where todays employee can strike a happy equilibrium
between the office and home. Its about effective time management
and stress management in order to increase productivity, decrease
stress and ultimately to have a happy and fulfilling life. This
translates into time for work, time for family, time for self and
time for play. So its about healthy living, purposeful living,
seeking out the pleasures and enjoyment of life at work, home and
play, and most importantly, a positive interaction with the people
around you.
2. Who is the target audience of this tradeshow? Our research
has shown that since the 1970s, more women have taken to the
workplace and have had to manage multiple tasks in order to be
successful at home and work. With the increased demands of todays
workforce, this particular target audience is finding it more and
more difficult to be truly effective. In essence, the primary
audience for this trade show is the working professional woman.
This is why weve teamed up with the Barbadostoday.bb to promote the
event in the newspaper as well as an intensive ad campaign on radio
and TV.
3. How many delegates are you expecting to attend the tradeshow?
We are conservatively anticipating between 1000-1500 delegates per
day. This is designed in such a way to make the trade show almost
exclusive. This way, you will have a highly targeted audience and
more time to spend with your delegates as they attend your
booth.
4. What will attract 1500 professionals to this event? The theme
of this show speaks to one of the most pressing and topical issues
in Barbados and the Caribbean health and wellness. The Caribbean
Work Life Balance Trade Show is the only show of its kind that
unites these issues. There is a deliberate effort to tap into our
sensory appeal of sight, smell and sound through carefully thought
out exhibit design. Additionally, the event is educational in
nature with ongoing simultaneous seminars together with
international Keynote speakers who will speak the theme of how to
balance life and work.
5. How will you get the delegates there? We will be promote the
event via radio, TV, newspaper and the Internet. Additionally, our
sales team has already begun direct sales to leading firms inviting
them to send their executives. We will also be offering
complimentary passes to the leading companies in Barbados. Finally,
theres a nominal fee of BD$20.00 at the door for walk-ins.
6. Social media outlets, local print and electronic media to be
used. The social media campaign will focus on Facebook and there
will be a running paid ad to push the page and event until October
10th. Six weeks into the event we will intensify our weekly
newspaper supplements in Barbadostoday.bb as this is part of the
exhibitors package. Four weeks into the event we will intensify our
radio ads with Love FM (30 mins specials taking along exhibitors to
speak on their goods and services) as well as appearances on CBC
TV.
7. How will telemarketing be done and by whom? GES specializes
in training events and telemarketing is part of our standard
internal operation. We have a team of three telemarketers.
8. What type of exhibitor will be there? Work-life balance
attracts what we refer to as lifestyle and image aspirations. Hence
the typical exhibitor will be offering products and services that
cater to the needs, ambitions and aspirations of our main target
(the busy professional woman): travel, spas, beauty products,
health and wellness, modern day technologies, office fashion, soft
furnishings, art, gourmet foods, fine dining, high end credit cards
and other investment products and facilities.
9. Exhibition design? The exhibition is designed by the leading
exhibit design company in Barbados, Renaissance Designs. Elements:
Sight the three colors of the logo will be used throughout the
exhibit to denote the specialty area(s) of the exhibitor; namely,
Work Smarter, Live Better, Play Harder each with a separate color
code. The entire exhibit hall will be

decorated with plants, waterfalls and art to convey the move
towards the greening of our environment by promoting the need for
water conservation. The use of art in the space will be to provide
an outlet for local visual artists to display and promote their
talents. Sound lounge music will be played over the speakers.
Additionally, there will be small musical interludes of classical
music and lighter sounds. Smell the venue will be scented with
candles and other scented materials.
10. What kind of programming can the delegate expect? In
addition to the free giveaways we are expecting from you the
exhibitor, we have an exciting program with lots of short seminars
on Time Management, Stress Management, Leadership, Investing for
the Female Executive, Travel, Wellness and Healthy Living. The
exhibitors will also have the opportunity to present short seminars
on you products and services. We have already secured two Keynotes:
one from the US and the other from Jamaica. They will speak for 45
each day. However, exhibitors will be given 30 presentations to
speak to the theme and their products and services. Additionally,
there will be 30 min lectures throughout the day on Health and
Wellness issues. Entertainment light musical performances, string
quartet, surround music, art exhibition, plant and garden
