It makes sense that January is buzzing with exhibitions and business events as it marks the reboot for the new year’s market, identifying and building networking opportunities as well as prep for key retail spikes such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Easter etc.
With the right strategy, every exhibition your business attends becomes an opportunity to expand your company’s customer base. The people who attend exhibitions tend to already be interested in the products or services your company offers, so making your business standout from the others and creating a lasting impression is extremely important. The sign of any reputable company is one that invests in itself, keeping potential customers engaged with your brand long after that initial interaction through branded promotional products is a very profitable choice and one, you and your business, should be considering.
Exhibitions are the perfect opportunity to conduct a bit of market research. During a quiet period, leave your co-worker in charge of your stand and go for a walk around the exhibition floor on a fact-finding mission, searching for what your competitors are and aren’t doing is a great way to gain a new perspective. See which stalls are attracting the most attendees and note what type of promotional products they are using as well as learning their prices, offers and objectives and how they compare against your own.
Brand value comes down to your ability to set your business apart from others in your industry. You have to be able to tell a better story than your competitors. Create value for your brand by investing it the right product to promote your events and campaigns, it’s important to understand where your brand falls on the value scale and to continually adapt your marketing strategy to suit. A well thought out promotional product at a trade show works as a means to provide and enhance customer experiences, the tricky part, of course, is figuring out what specific product to use.
“Brand is the promise, the big idea, and expectations that reside in each customer’s mind about a product, service, or company. Branding is about making an emotional connection. People fall in love with brands — they trust them, develop strong loyalties, buy them, and believe in their superiority. The brand is shorthand: it stands for something and demonstrates it.” – Alina Wheeler, author of Designing Brand Identity
