    • If it’s too high, you could end up selling less than you hoped to.
• Make you business different:
  • You’re always going to have competition.
  • Add an extra value for your customers; make your buyers’ experience memorable; or deliver your product in a unique way to make your business stand out from the rest.
• Attract attention to your booth.
  • What’s going to make customers buy from you?
  • Maintain a professional demeanor and appearance throughout the event.
  • Design an engaging booth.
    • Create a visually appealing and interactive booth that aligns with your brand identity,
• Actively engage:
  • Actively engage with other exhibitors and attendees to build relationships.
  • Incorporate interactive demonstrations, hands-on experiences, or contests to draw attendees into your booth
• How to sell:
  • Can you tell someone what you’re selling in just a few words?
    • Once you have their attention, then go into more detail.
• Effectively capture leads.
  • Have a system in place to efficiently collect contact information from visitors, including a clear call-to-action.
  • After the event, reach out to leads promptly with personalized messages to nurture relationships and convert them into customers.
  • Track key metrics like leads generated, booth traffic, and attendee engagement to measure your exhibition success and identify areas for improvement.
• Learn from experience:
  • It’s important to continually improve.
  • Can you use a different method of advertising or selling?
  • Design a marketing plan and strategy that will grab customers’ attention so they stop at your booth.

Extra ideas:

• Give out irresistible SWAG
• If you’re selling a service instead of a product, create a relaxing space where you can answer attendees’ questions.

Not everything that you try will be successful, and that’s ok! It’s important to be able to look at an experience and understand what went wrong, and how you can improve. The most successful entrepreneurs sell products, and/or services, that solve a problem, are well priced, or that customers simply can’t resist.
