You can love it or you can hate it but there is no escaping trade shows in a business environment. If you happen to be inrepparttar Sales and Marketing division in an industry where trade shows are a part ofrepparttar 143826 marketing plan, it is more than likely than not that you will be involved in them sooner or later.

Trade shows have been an excellent forum for generating awareness ofrepparttar 143827 products and services of a company as well as generating leads inrepparttar 143828 short run. If you are an entrepreneur or a sales professional entrusted withrepparttar 143829 task of participating in a trade show, you should consider two major points while choosingrepparttar 143830 perfect trade show booth: Location and neighbourhood. The perfect mix of these two criteria is likely to get yourepparttar 143831 maximum bang for your buck.

o Location is everything. Try and get in early inrepparttar 143832 tradeshows which features regularly in your company's calendar to get good exhibit spots. Corner booths with two sides open arerepparttar 143833 ones which are snapped uprepparttar 143834 fastest. Location is probablyrepparttar 143835 most critical aspect to consider in a trade show and it is really a no-brainer when you recall allrepparttar 143836 trade shows which you have been to as a visitor and have skipped most ofrepparttar 143837 booths placed atrepparttar 143838 end of aisle.

Some ofrepparttar 143839 don'ts while choosingrepparttar 143840 location are:

o Don't chooserepparttar 143841 booth next to food outlets or conference hall entrances as none ofrepparttar 143842 people heading in these two directions are usually interested inrepparttar 143843 booths. They are most likely making a bee-line torepparttar 143844 food court to beatrepparttar 143845 lunch crowd or are running late for a conference. It is a sad sight to see visitors rush past your stall headed

o Don't pickrepparttar 143846 booth near equipment areas or loading bays even if you are getting a two-sided open booth. Need I elaborate this? Audio equipment put near your booth is likely to drown your voice most ofrepparttar 143847 times and nearness to loading bays will result in mostly seeing men in overalls rather than 'real' tradeshow visitors.
