Only if you do a good job of inviting them! Stack the deck in your favor by following some of these tips & tricks to ensure you maximize your event experience and find supreme value in your booth at P2PX.
If you build it, will they come?
1. Promote, promote, promote.* Promote your presence in every way possible. And start early!
a. Email Send messages to your marketing list to alert both prospects and existing clients that youll be on the P2PX show floor.
b. Social Media Use social media platforms with the hashtag #p2pxpo, and utilize the P2PX online community (path2purchaseexpo.pathable.com) to reach out to targeted attendees.
2. Utilize your signature. Add the line Visit us at 2017 Path to Purchase Expo, Booth # (insert booth number with link to event site) to your signature. Encourage colleagues to do the same.
3. Create a cheat sheet of ice breakers. Preparing a list of targeted, open-ended questions ahead of time eliminates the uncertainty of what to say onsite.
*In her blog, Sarah Leung notes that 70% of event attendees decide which booths theyre going to visit before the show begins, yet, only 10-15% of exhibitors invest in pre-show marketing efforts.
1. Be memorable. Whether its your booth appearance, an onsite activity or a unique giveaway, think of ways to make your space stand out. Here is a list to get started: blog.attend.com/trade-show-booth-games
2. Take notes! You will talk to so many people in one day that its a great idea to write down parts of your conversation on the persons business card. This allows for a more personal follow up.
3. Stay active on social. Social media shouldnt stop once youre onsite. You and your team should post throughout the event, using #p2pxpo. Think of ways to engage attendees drawings, demonstrations and trivia.
1. Follow up quickly. Have a campaign designed and ready to launch so that emails can go out immediately upon leads entering the system.
2. Be social. Look at your card collection from the show and friend/like/follow everyone.
3. Remind people who you are. Including a crowded photo of your booth in your follow up emails will remind attendees who your company is amongst the hundreds they talked to at the show.
