Don't underestimate the value of trade show and event marketing-the most powerful tools in the marketing mix. No other marketing element offers you a venue in which to implement every marketing tactic to exploit all the senses of present and potential clients. Find out what you don't know about trade shows and how to: choose your exhibit space, budget time & resources, promote your participation (before, during, & after), increase booth traffic, capture the interest of those passing by (in less than 7 seconds), qualify visitors, and get the best follow up results.

 

This workshop is an excellent way to prepare for the 2012 Lakewood Regional Business and Industry Expo to be held in July.
