Attending trade shows is a big investment in time and money but works on a number of levels and it can be an extremely cost-effective way to develop leads and make sales if properly planned. Sustainable success is only likely to develop with regular year-on-year attendance at the same shows demonstrating your credibility, stability and long-term intention in the market. It may take several years of attendance at the same show before potential customers start to develop stronger interest in your company. Taking part in overseas shows and exhibitions is a considerable cost- although the SMMT UK Group Pavilion format and UKTI Tradeshow Access Grant scheme support can substantially reduce costs compared to “going it alone”. Skilful planning and execution, before, during and after the trade show, is essential to get results and the following checklist of 12 points might help you get the most from future events: 1. Set objectives – Understand what you want to achieve and who on the stand is tasked to do what each day. You may want to increase market share, introduce new products or services, check out competitors, meet and socialise with existing clients, meet / train agents or distributors, etc.
