Over the last couple of years, trade show exhibits have taken a hit due to a worldwide pandemic. Many professionals have had to improvise and sell products without relying on the exposure and excitement generated from trade show displays.
Even though the pandemic isn’t technically over, society is slowly trying to return to the way things were pre-pandemic. If you are wondering whether it’s time to get back to your busy tradeshow schedule, here are the top reasons to start attending shows in person.
Increased Excitement
It’s clear that many people are itching to return to life as we knew it, and trade shows are no exception. After being away for two long years, the excitement of being able to experience trade shows in person is upon us. After being deprived of this marketing outlet for so long, you’re bound to see increased interest and energy as you start attending shows again. This increased excitement could lead to an increase where it really counts — in profits.
Less Competition
If you return to in person tradeshows now, you’ll notice decreased competition. This is because many businesses aren’t yet ready to get back to tradeshows. They might be missing out, but that doesn’t mean you have to! Take advantage of the decreased competition and use it as an opportunity to sell even more products and services than normal this year.
Meet Existing Clients
As popular as virtual trade shows have become, they don’t give you the opportunity to meet and get to know your clients. In person trade show displays give you the chance to develop a stronger rapport with your existing clients and get to know potential clients on a more personal level.
Get Immediate Feedback
Trade shows provide the perfect opportunity to get input regarding your business. For immediate feedback that you can use to make positive changes in your business, ask trade show attendees questions and invite honest answers. You can ask about the effectiveness of your display, what clients think about a potential new product design, or what product innovations they would like to see.
Being able to talk face-to-face with current and potential clients about their views is highly effective. Don’t forget to record their responses so you can refer to them when you get back home and have the time to take action.
Expand Your Reach
When you attend trade show exhibits in person, you have the opportunity to expand your reach beyond your normal online audience. People come to trade shows from all over the nation. Some even come from the other side of the globe! Many of these diverse visitors will make their way to your website (which, of course, could translate into increased sales!)
