Using Printed Promotional Products at Trade Shows
Trade shows are the bane and the boom of many businesses. Being a vendor at a trade show is expensive and time consuming. It means long hours in a noisy booth, late nights, meals on the run, and talking over the roar until you lose your voice! However, it is also great exposure to hundreds, maybe even thousands of new customers. Exhibiting at a trade show and using printed promotional products is a quick way to get the word out about your product or business. I personally know of businesses that got their big break on the trade show floor. But when you are surrounded by your competitors, how do you get people to stop at your booth? What will entice them to stay and listen to your sales pitch? How can you be sure they will remember your business when the trade show is over?
Printed promotional products are a staple of trade shows. Vendors use promotional products to entice people to visit their booth. Attendees expect to fill promotional bags with free gifts collected from every vendor on the floor. Sadly, many of these free gifts will be thrown away or forgotten before the show is over. Choosing the right printed promotional product can insure the success of your trade show experience.
Many vendors do not use printed promotional products to their best advantage. It is common to see a pile of printed pens or other common promotional items just lying out on the table. Promotional bags are just handed out to anyone that walks by. There are two mistakes here. The first is using a product that does not stand out from the crowd. The second mistake is leaving printed promotional products out where it is easy for anyone to pick them up and walk away. A potential customer won't know much about your business if you don't get a chance to tell them about it!
To avoid these common mistakes you need to use care in choosing the correct printed promotional products to be your trade show giveaways. Be sure to have a product that people want, and will give up a little bit of their time to get. Don't just give a product away for free. At the very least get a business card or some other contact information. Only give away items to people that stop and talk to you, even if it is only for a minute.
Promotional bags are a great way to make your business stand out at a trade show. I distinctly remember one trade show where every attendee, and even many of the vendors, carried bright red promotional bags. They were great bags, but you couldn’t just walk up to the booth and pick one up. You had to listen to a quick presentation to get the bag. The vendor did everything right here. He had a promotional product that people wanted, it was something they would use after the trade show was over, and he had a chance to present his message to potential customers.
Using printed promotional products, and promotional bags can be a good way to make your business stand out at a trade show. But be sure to make sure you are getting maximum impact by choosing products that people want, and that allow you to present your message to potential customers.
