RELAX... It's much easier than you think.

LIVE EVENTS are among the most effective methods for marketing and promoting your products and/or services. Only at a live event, are you able to connect with people, respond and interact to establish and bond a true sincere "relationship".

The internet is a wonderful tool, but it is no substitute for meeting REAL people at a REAL event, LIVE and LOCAL. Let's meet!

Marketing EXPO - Golden Valley Country Club

2010-11-19T07:39:00.000-08:00

Event management is the application of project management to the creation and development of festivals, events and conferences.

Event management involves studying the intricacies of the brand, identifying the target audience, devising the event concept, planning the logistics and coordinating the technical aspects before actually executing the modalities of the proposed event. Post-event analysis and ensuring a return on investment have become significant drivers for the event industry.

The recent growth of festivals and events as an industry around the world means that the management can no longer be ad hoc. Events and festivals, such as the Asian Games, have a large impact on their communities and, in some cases, the whole country.

The industry now includes events of all sizes from the Olympics down to a breakfast meeting for ten business people. Many industries, charitable organizations, and interest groups will hold events of some size in order to market themselves, build business relationships, raise money or celebrate.

Cooperation, co-operation or cooperation is the process of working or acting together, which can be accomplished by both intentional and non-intentional agents. In its simplest form it involves things working in harmony, side by side, while in its more complicated forms, it can involve something as complex as the inner workings of a human being or even the social patterns of a nation. It is the alternative to working separately in competition. Cooperation can also be accomplished by computers, which can handle shared resources simultaneously, while sharing processor time.

Don't Be Afraid to Follow Your Heart - Bethany Butzer, Ph.D.

2010-10-02T05:10:00.000-07:00

Don't Be Afraid to Follow Your Heart

Is fear holding you back from doing what you love? I know this feeling all too well. I've often taken a fear-based approach to my life. I realized many years ago that I had a deep-seated belief that the world was not a safe place. I was constantly on the lookout for some terrible thing that I was expecting to happen next. I craved stability and certainty, because these things helped me feel secure. Or so I thought.

Eventually I realized that even when my life was as stable and secure as it could get - I had a house, a car, a husband, and a well-paying job - I still felt afraid. I was scared that at any time, the anvil was going to drop. This fear caused me to engage in all sorts of behaviors in a frantic attempt to feel relaxed. I hoarded money - believing that I had to have an arbitrary amount of cash in the bank at all times to be ok. Most importantly, my anxiety held me back from doing what I loved.

I knew that I wanted to help people. I looked around and saw so many friends and family members who, like me, were stressed, burnt out, and feeling terrible. I knew from the core of my being that we are all meant to live happy, purposeful lives, and I wanted to help people do this. But how could I possibly make a living teaching yoga, doing workshops, and life coaching? This belief caused me to hold on to my bi-weekly paycheck like it was the last drop of water in a desert. It also caused me to get sick.

Because you see, my soul's true purpose was sitting right beside my long-held belief that the world was a scary place. My desire to help others was desperately trying to win a battle against my desire to take the safe route, the easy route, the route that society believed I should take.

I mean really, why would someone with a Ph.D., a fantastic CV, and a stable job decide to leave it all behind, without any clear idea of where the next step would take her?

Because I knew that the stable life was slowly killing me.

Because I recognized that for one of the first times in my life, I needed to choose myself.

Because I realized that everything I am meant to be is worth everything that I have. (Thanks Tama Kieves!)

It's often said that on our deathbed, none of us will wish we would have spent more time at the office or in front of the TV. Your life is your chance to show the world what it is that you're truly meant to do. You have gifts within you that are meant to be shared. I love the saying "Your gifts are the answer to someone else's prayer" because it's true. What are you good at? What do you love to do, purely for the sake of doing it? Do yourself a favor and bring more of this into your life, starting today.

In her book "This Time I Dance! Creating the Work You Love," Harvard lawyer Tama Kieves talks about how she left her lucrative position at a prestigious law firm to pursue her dream of being a writer. She moved into a smaller apartment and waited tables to make ends meet. It took her 12 years to write her book, but she never gave up on her dream. Now, she does popular workshops across North America and coaches others on how to follow their true purpose.

Four months ago I quit my job, and decided to trust that I'm following my right path. I'm choosing to see the Universe as a benevolent place - not as a scary monster that's always out to get me.

Will I be broke by December? Maybe.

Am I being naive and irresponsible? Perhaps.

But I will never, for one second, regret trying to follow my dreams.

Do you know what I would have regretted? Punching in and out every day at a job that didn't allow me to do what I was meant to do. For all intents and purposes, my job was a great job - but it wasn't the right job for me.

I don't want you to live your life with any regrets. Please start following your heart. It will never, ever lead you down the wrong path.

Let go of fear. Your gifts, no matter how big or small, truly are the answer to someone else's prayer.

What's holding you back from following your heart?

Trade Show Marketing Minute with Mike Mraz

Hi,

The act of marking up a piece of promotional literature
to draw attention to something specific creates a
“one-of-a-kind” document that connects with the recipient
at a much deeper level.

Think of your show floor literature as a greeting card.
How meaningful would the greeting card be to the
recipient if you didn’t personalize it with few of
your own words and sign it?

Turn up your speakers and follow this link –

http://www.todaystradeshowminute.com

After you watch it, forward it to someone else on your
team. Create some momentum!

To Your Success!

Mike

A note from Daniel LaFond - Special Events Midwest

Greetings!

I can't beleive how fast summer has gone. A couple of Twins games a few motorcycle rides and Fall is almost here!

Well; I've received my first official "the holiday's are almost here flyer" so I guess it's time to start thinking about Holiday Parties and Employee Appreciation meals. You know who to call, we're poised and ready with some great menu offerings for the holiday season.

Jim and I have been talking about some menu changes and adding an authentic "mexican food" section and featuring his amazing Cuban sandwiches. Keep an eye out for these changes coming soon.

We are in the process of updating and changing the special events menu choices. I'll let you know personally when they are ready.

And finally in this issue Chef Jim has another recipe he'd like to share with you.

Get ready for Football, Bonfires and sweaters, The cooler weather is on it's way.

Talk to you soon,
Daniel

Trade Show Minute with Mike Mraz

2010-07-08T09:57:00.000-07:00

Hi All –

Have you ever shown up at a gathering inappropriately dressed?

Remember how out of place you felt?

Worse yet, have you ever invited someone to an event and
failed to inform them that it was a black tie affair?

They show up in cruise wear and feel terribly out of place.

Let’s make sure we’re considering the comfort of our target
audience when we select our exhibit wardrobe. Above all,
we want them to feel comfortable with us.

There’s a fine line between genuine respect and “poser”
mentality. Make sure you’re sincere.

Follow this link to view a NEW episode of
“Today’s Trade Show Minute”.

Oh, and PLEASE share this. I spent all my money getting
this done for you, the next guy is free!

http://www.todaystradeshowminute.com

…are you ready?

Mike Mraz and the Trade Show Minute (Minneapolis, MN)

2010-06-03T07:24:00.000-07:00

Hello All –

I’ve said for the longest time that attendees don’t “read” exhibits, they “look” at them.

If you fill your exhibit up with gobs of copy and images, your message will just get lost in the jumble.

Use “billboard” logic – KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Drivers don’t “read” billboards either.

Be succinct. Be specific. Think benefits not features.

Turn up your speakers and follow this link –

Spring is here and summer follows close behind, a time for celebrations and special occasions galore--graduations, weddings, reunions, company picnics and community festivals. Plus the holidays like Mother's Day,

houses. The links below, starting with our own page on quantities, lead to sites that cover all those events and more.

Press Release - The BIG Evening Comes to Minneapolis

2010-05-06T13:18:00.000-07:00

Press Release - The BIG Evening Comes to Minneapolis

The BIG Evening is an intense, 90 minute seminar that helps anyone to take their life 'to the next level'. Life University is offering the program free to Minnesotans upon registration at TheBigEvening.com .

Minneapolis, MN. May 7, 2010 – Life University (http://LifeUniversity.com) today announced that its groundbreaking personal development program The BIG Evening is coming to Minneapolis for the Summer of 2010.

"It just a 90 minute talk" explains world renowned speaker Seymour Segnit, "but we will NOT just be teaching: we'll actually take participants through a fun, safe, transformational process to clear the 'baggage' that has held them back - a major step towards their future success."

Segnit agrees that its entirely appropriate to be skeptical of 'fast-results' claims - but after training thousands of people in over 70 countries he knows that its possible to make real shifts very quickly indeed.

The principles behind The BIG Evening were originally developed during an intensive study at the University of California. Researchers looked closely at the case studies of individuals who were experiencing the most powerful and lasting changes in their lives - and developed a system that consistently produced results for everyone.

"There were so many opportunities - so much of LIFE - that I had turned down..." writes Janice C from New York, who recently experienced the BIG Evening process. "Life is very different now. Instead of being consumed with negative thoughts I'm excited about the places I'm going and the new possibilities I have opened up for myself."

The BIG Evening promises to teach:

• The one MAJOR thing that has held participants back - and how to vanquish it forever
• How to immediately ‘break’ negative thinking, any time, anywhere.
• The Secret to ‘installing’ dreams, so their fulfillment becomes automatic
"Successful people have an incredible secret: not only do they know what they want - they get out of their own way!" says founder Seymour Segnit, "Minnesotans are going to LOVE the fast results they get at this amazing free program."

Tickets are available while supplies last at http://thebigevening.com/

Life University was founded in 2008 to make the best in personal development programs accessible to the widest possible audience. Based in the United States, LU can be reached on the web at LifeUniversity.com.

Participating in a trade show without implementing
a very focused pre-show marketing effort is like
throwing a dinner party without personally inviting
any guests.

Both situations will leave you feeling lonely.

Connect with your market pre-show!

Unlimited Breath & Conscious Creation Weekend May 14th -16th

Weekend cost is $295.00 Free introduction Fri 14th 7-9pm

Unlimited Breath: can calm, relax, and de-stress, heal yourself of past traumas and emotions stored in your subconscious mind, and change the way you live your life forever.

Various traumas, habits, suggestions and your limitations alter the way you breathe naturally.

The increased oxygen releases blockages in the subconscious bringing it to consciousness. Breath is the bridge to the subconscious; therefore it is one of the greatest healers.

Conscious Creation is choosing to manifest what you want by using your thoughts to create. Permanent change comes from awareness and consciously choosing to change the thoughts (programs) that don’t work for you.

Coarse Goals

Learn: 1) How two easy and accessible tools (your Breath and your thinking) can empower you.

2) To Be present

3) To feel on purpose

4) To have success

Tradeshow Week Vacuum Filled by TSNN -- New Editorial Staff and Industry Event Announced

2010-04-29T10:15:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tradeshow Week Vacuum Filled by TSNN -- New Editorial Staff and Industry Event Announced

Peterborough, NH (APRIL 29, 2010) – Less than two weeks after the closing of Tradeshow Week, the U.S. exhibition industry’s only weekly print publication, Peterborough-based Tarsus Online Media, a division of Tarsus Group plc, announced plans to redesign its Trade Show News Network (TSNN) website to fill the vacuum for Tradeshow Week’s former subscribers. The new site will include a stable of well-known industry writers and bloggers contracted by TSNN to provide news and develop online content.

Tradeshow Week’s closure also permanently suspended production of Tradeshow Week’s “Fastest 50” event recognizing the fastest growing exhibitions in the U.S. and Canada. Tarsus will launch a similar event to complement its MTO Summit scheduled for November 9-10, 2010 at the Hilton Alexandria Hotel in Alexandria, VA. The inaugural award event, the “TSNN Event Excellence Awards”, will conclude the conference on November 10.

In his former role as publisher of Tradeshow Week, Adam Schaffer launched the Fastest 50 event and successfully grew it. “I am thrilled to see that the spirit of innovation and service to our industry continues with TSNN and Tarsus stepping into these important shoes. Their commitment and dedication is clear, even at this early stage, by engaging important industry thinkers and writers and also by setting a date for the awards event this November,” he stated, observing the community endorsement of this conference.

“TSNN has the world’s most comprehensive database of events, a loyal following of subscribers and a virtual community of industry professionals. It is poised to grow its online and offline community via the insight of leading bloggers and an event that recognizes the entrepreneurial spirit of the industry,” said R.D. Whitney, CEO of Tarsus Online Media (USA).

TSNN’s list of bloggers will include:

Chris Brogan, author of “Trust Agents” (with Julien Smith), and “Social Media 101: Tactics and Tips to Develop your Business Online.” Brogan is president of the media marketing agency New Marketing Labs, and founder of the Inbound Marketing Summit conferences and Inbound Marketing Boot Camp educational events.

Stephen Nold, President, Tarsus Advon and founder of the MeetingTechOnline web site and the MTO Summit technology conference. Nold serves as a consultant and speaker on event industry innovations.

Rachel Wimberly, Special Reports Writer, Variety magazine and former writer for Tradeshow Week, The New York Times regional newspapers and CNN Business News. Wimberly has a Masters Degree in Journalism from New York University.

Dave Lutz, Managing Director, Velvet Chainsaw, a business improvement consultancy specializing in the meeting and conference industry. Lutz blogs at Midcourse Corrections (with Jeff Hurt) and has a regular column on performance excellence in Convene magazine. He is a member of the education committee for the technology track at the Annual Meeting of the International Association for Exhibitions and Events (IAEE).

Michelle Bruno, President, Bruno Group Signature Events, an event marketing and management firm. Bruno is a freelance industry journalist and a certified meetings and exhibition management professional. She writes about event industry technology and social media at Fork in the Road blog.

“TSNN is committed and excited to fill the information gap that has been created by the closure of Tradeshow Week. We could not think of a better ‘all-star’ list of thinkers to offer compelling content and the same positive message and integrity that Tradeshow Week was known and respected for,” said Stephen Nold, President, Tarsus Advon, the Austin, TX-based division of Tarsus Group that will oversee the redesign of TSNN.com.

Another TradeShow Minute from Mike Mraz of Exhibiting Excellence

2010-04-22T12:06:00.000-07:00

I’m an avid fan of the kid with the lemonade stand.

I stop at every one I see.

Last summer I pulled over for a twenty five cent
Dixie cup full of sugar water and asked the proprietor
this question; “Who are you trying to sell your
lemonade to?” The young entrepreneur responded
with this thoughtful response; “Anybody who is thirsty
and has a quarter!”

He knew his market!

He knew that his product had to meet their need
and that they had to have the wherewithal to
perform. (How often do we get excited about the
sale before we find out if the budget has been
approved?)

How well do you know your target market?

'MagicBrad presents... TwinCities Event UpDate ~ Special ISSUE-Monica Kenton-ART'

APRIL 27 - 2nd Annual Greening Your Business Expo

2010-04-09T03:38:00.000-07:00

Earlier today, the U.S Green Building Council awarded Target Field LEED® Silver Certification. LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" and is an internationally recognized green certification program. At a MRCC event this morning, Dave St. Peter (President - Minnesota Twins) said Target Field is ranked two points higher than the Washington National's ballpark, making it the "greenest" ballpark in America!

The Chamber sends its congratulations to the Minnesota Twins, Hennepin County and the Minnesota Ballpark Authority for building this new icon in sustainable building design. Given this accomplishment, the Chamber is proud to be holding its 2nd Annual Greening Your Business Expo presented by Xcel Energy on Tuesday, April 27th from 4:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Target Field. There will be more than 50 exhibitors showcasing green products and services for the workplace.

"Many of the same green design elements in Target Field can be scaled to smaller commercial office buildings," said Todd Klingel, President & CEO of the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce. "Exhibitors at this expo will help employers discover energy efficient products, green office supplies, water reduction devises, waste management services and transit options for their business."

Admission is free with a business card and pre-registration enters you into a drawing for two Twins tickets! Expo details can be found at www.GreenMinneapolisBusiness.com

Trade Show Minute with Mike Mraz!

2010-04-08T06:36:00.000-07:00

I’m heading off to a show where the exhibit hall will be open for a total 19 hours over the 4 day event. The exhibitors will be competing with over 300 classes and/or events that have been scheduled during the hours of 8:00 – 5:00 each of the 4 days. There will be NO “unencumbered” exhibiting time.

Let’s say we all get 8 hours of sleep each night (it’s a good thing this show isn’t in Vegas!), that leaves us with 16 hours of opportunity time each day……

The question is:

What can we be doing to connect with our market OFF the show floor?

If the average 10 X 10 exhibitor spends $5,000 to $7,000 to participate, they’ll have to do more than stand in their booth for 19 hours to get their monies worth!

How many ideas can you come up with?

Do me a favor and send me a few will ‘ya?

Another Trade Show Minute with Mike Mraz (Minneapolis, MN)

2010-03-26T05:32:00.000-07:00

Hello There!

It was great to see so many of you at Exhibitor Show last week. It is definitely one of the highlights of my year for sure.

For the first time in over 18 months, I got the sense that we might be rising up out of what I’ve been
calling “The Duct-Tape Era” in the trade show business. Yes! The overall buzz that I picked up on was that exhibitors of all sizes are finally sensing that it’s OK to update graphics and spruce-up their exhibit look. Of course, certain sectors seem to be embracing this more than others, but overall, the light at the end of the tunnel seems to be burning brighter.

Question – “Is there value for you in branding your knowledge-ware by getting your smart people on the speaker’s platform?”

Putting a CANDY DISH in your booth is a start but...

2010-03-24T05:22:00.000-07:00

Putting a dish of candy in your booth, may attract some folks and it is for sure a nice gesture, however to get real qualified leads, you are going to need to step up, greet some people, shake some hands and ASK SOME QUESTIONS.

Many of you have heard it before. Don't ask YES and NO questions. Or "How are you today?" Sure, that's a start, but lets then get deeper and ask QUALIFYING questions. Questions that will get us a little closer to the real issues at hand.

My good friend Ron Eccles, from Trade Show Education Group says to put one of these words in front of any sentance and it will get you much better information.
WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN or WHY.

WHY did you come to the show today?
WHEN are you starting your next home improvement project.
WHERE are you living now, and WHERE are you moving to?
WHO is the person in charge of your marketing?
WHAT was your budget last time you bought?

See how that might get better information for your Sales Team to follow-up on?

Your LATE!!! Has your boss ever yelled at you? Have you ever left EARLY?

2010-03-20T12:00:00.000-07:00

If you attended a trade show, vendor fair, or expo and saw an exhibitor still setting up their booth, would you trust them to deliver product or service to you on time? (I don't think so.). I am always fascinated at how un-professional and irresponsible and disrespectful some businesses can appear.

I produce Home Improvement and Health and Wellness EXPOs for a living. I've produced and or been on Advisory Boards for event and expos, since 1986. Yet I am still AMAZED to see exhibitors that come in late and also leave early at shows. This is a DIRECT reflection on the company, their business and how they operate. It's not all that surprising in the home improvement and lawn and garden shows, because the majority of those types of exhibitors are "contractors". And you know what they have for a stereotype. Will they finish the job? All too often... not.

The companies that get in early and are all set up and ready, can probably be trusted more than the late comers. And then at the end of the show, the companies that stay up and don't break down and load-out, till the VERY FINAL SECOND (not 30 minutes or an hour before) are the ones you can trust.

Any exhibitor that takes down before the end of the show or comes in late is... "iffy" at best.

6 Steps to Creating an Effective “Sticky Note” Business Plan

2010-03-14T06:58:00.000-07:00

Here is a GREAT way to plan your business that is FUN. The plan is from Christine Kloser, who is the award-winning author of The Freedom Formula and Conscious Entrepreneurs. She is widely recognized as an expert in the field of conscious entrepreneurship having spoken alongside such luminaries as Neale Donald Walsch, Dr. Joe Vitale, Arielle Ford, James Twyman and Marianne Williamson.

I think this method of doing a "Business Plan" will be very effective, because it is designed to be FUN and PLAYFUL, which will open creativity and not be hindered like the dullness and drudgery of the typical business plans.

Christine! You rock! :o)

6 Steps to Creating an Effective “Sticky Note” Business Plan
by Christine Kloser - http://www.loveyourlife.com

If you’re like most creative entrepreneurs, the thought of writing a business plan is not the highest item on your priority list. You’d rather explore new ideas, create products and services, develop a new speech, or work with your clients… than sit down and write a plan.

But, to be successful in business, you need to have a plan in place. The good news is you don’t have to write a formal (bank-friendly) business plan to keep your business on track. In fact, until recently, I used my self-made “sticky note business plan” to keep track of my business goals and plans.

The “sticky note business plan” is a simple and fun tool you can use anytime, any place to keep your business pointing in the right direction. Here are a few simple steps to get you started:

1. Gather Your Planning Supplies. Thankfully, you won’t need fancy computer software, or heavy reference books to write your plan. All you’ll need is a wall, six poster boards, three pads of sticky notes, scotch tape, a note pad, a Sharpie marker and a pen. It’ll also help to have a quiet place and a few hours of time to enjoy this process. You may even want to light your favorite candle and play some relaxing music.

2. Lay Out Your Plan. Tape the six poster boards up on the wall. Once the boards are up on the wall, grab your notepad. Sit down for a few minutes and quietly think about the aspects of your business you want to plan. For example: do you need to design a new product or event, do you want to create a marketing plan, do you need a timeline plan for the next 3 years of your business, or is it time to plan the launch of a new service?

Use your notepad to collect all of your ideas and decide on the six main categories you want to include in your plan. Next, write each category on six separate sticky notes using your Sharpie marker. Then, stick one note on the top center of each poster board… so each board is labeled for one of your six topics.

3. Download Your Ideas. Here comes the fun part. Get your pen and sticky notes and begin to write down every single idea that comes to mind for each category. Don’t edit or censor any ideas. Simply write them down and stick them on the poster board for that category. Try to stay with one category at a time as best you can. But, if other ideas keep coming to mind, write them down and pop them on the appropriate poster. Let the ideas flow and enjoy the process of getting everything on paper.

4. Organize Your Ideas. So, now that your ideas are on the poster boards, begin to organize them. Look for themes, sequences, and categories of items. Physically move the sticky notes on the poster board to group ideas together. Sometimes I’ll organize ideas by timeline, sometimes I’ll organize by concept… you can organize them in the way that makes sense to you.

5. Put It All Together. Now, step back and take a look at your whole plan. After going through this process, you may discover some items need to move higher on your priority list; while other ideas may need to be dropped from your plan completely. The right things to do (and the order in which to do them) will surface now that you have the whole plan in place. Next, rearrange the posters so the highest priority plan is at the left side of the wall and the lower priority plan is to the right side of the wall. Finally, transfer your highest priority tasks to your calendar to make sure you begin executing your plan.

6. Keep Going. As you make progress with your plan, continually re-evaluate where you are… and keep moving forward with your projects. Personally, once I complete a concept from one of my poster boards, I remove the sticky notes so I can visually see my progress and all that I’m accomplishing. You may enjoy doing the same thing.

Now that you know how to write your “sticky note business plan”, you’ll discover it’s actually FUN to work on your plan. And, it’s a huge asset to your business.

Tradeshow Minute by Mike Mraz

2010-03-11T04:51:00.000-08:00

Happy Thursday!

I was thinkin’…

If a freight company had four exhibitors on the same truck going “direct-to-show” to the same event and the truck had to wait in line for four hours to off-load the freight at the convention center, which of the four exhibitors would be charged for the four hours of wait time? Would they split the fee up evenly among the four exhibitors, charging each exhibitor for one hour? Would they charge the largest exhibitor for all four hours and let the others go without being charged a fee? Or, would the trucking company charge each of the four exhibitors the four hour wait time fee?

Kinda’ makes you go “hummmm”…

Trade Fair
from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samsung stand at the CES2009 Trade FairA trade fair (trade show or expo) is an exhibition organized so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products, service, study activities of rivals and examine recent trends and opportunities. Some trade fairs are open to the public, while others can only be attended by company representatives (members of the trade) and members of the press, therefore trade shows are classified as either "Public" or "Trade Only". They are held on a continuing basis in virtually all markets and normally attract companies from around the globe. For example, in the U.S. there are currently over 2500[citation needed] trade shows held every year, and several online directories have been established to help organizers, attendees, and marketers identify appropriate events.

10 Key Elements of Exhibiting: TIP #7:

2010-03-08T08:34:00.000-08:00

MARKETING TIP: #7

1. The Objective

2. Pre-Show Promotion

3. The Message

4. Giveaways

5. Graphics

6. Product

7. Prospects
Trade shows give a company a very targeted, but small window to reach potential customers. This environment doesn't afford sales people the luxury of "taking it easy". A skilled presenter in your booth will be attracting masses, pre-qualifying them and sending right to the sales staff and they need to be ready and on their toes. At trade shows, time is money and booth staff must be efficient in order to maximize the company's return on investment. Talking on cellular phones, chatting with co-workers, eating, and leaving the exhibit area puts a barrier between your company and potential customers. Customers don't want to feel intimidated, ignored or that they are imposing.

8. Show Guidelines

9. Follow-Up

10. Evaluation
