Tradeshows:
They're Good for YOUR Business
| 
Nearly three-quarters of the attendees at tradeshows say that exhibitors' information influences their buying decisions, reports the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR). It's clear that tradeshows offer unique opportunities to boost your business. Here are CEIR's top reasons to have a presence at tradeshows:
- Increase awareness of your company, products and services.
- Generate leads for potential clients, partners or suppliers.
- Obtain customer feedback.
- Evaluate the competition.
- Distribute samples and promotional items. Consumers are more likely to make a purchase after receiving a promotional product rather than seeing a print ad, TV commercial or online ad.
- Connect with others for joint ventures and licensing agreements, your next business partner could be at a neighboring display.
- Introduce your products/services to untapped markets that you might not have considered but who are attendees.
- Demonstrate new products/services and features and showcase their superiority.
An eye-catching display that attracts traffic is critical to your success. Quinter Design is uniquely positioned to combine your preferences, needs and budget into a display that effectively and creatively represents you. We also work with several top-notch promotional product suppliers who can identify a giveaway item that works for you. Contact us at 301-924-4654 or info@quinterdesign.com. |
