2. Take Advantage of All Marketing Avenues Offered at Each Show

   It may be time consuming to fill out business profiles on show websites, create press releases and marketing kits, and send summaries to printed publications for the show, but it is well worth it. This is how people attending the show will know you will be there and where to find your booth. Don’t forget to ensure your company is represented on the show app. This is a place where many brands fail to show up, so be sure to check and see what opportunities exist, such as posting press releases or even advertising with GIF banner ads.

3. Create Custom Reusable Trade Show Bags

   Custom reusable trade show bags that are targeted to your market will be the hit of the trade show. I would be remiss when talking about trade show marketing ideas if I did not mention this BIG opportunity many brands are missing. Yes, a fair number of marketers hand out reusable trade show bags at expos, but they are incredibly uninspired and totally missing the mark. You want to create the “It” bag of the show. The bag everyone wants should be yours, and it should be used as a great start to a mutually beneficial business relationship. Offer the best bag of the show that everyone wants, and you will increase traffic to your booth and in turn, you will seen an increase in leads.
