  • Opening Intro -

    Are you scheduled to present at a business convention on behalf of your company?

    If so, then you have a unique opportunity on your hands.

-------------------------------------

You get the chance to showcase your products to a captivated audience. Not only that, but you’ll get to rub elbows with some influential people in your field.

While the prospect is exciting, it can be a bit nerve-wracking as well. If you’ve never presented at a convention before, you may have some butterflies in your stomach. But don’t worry, as being properly prepared will ensure your success.

Here’s our guide on how to prepare for a business convention.

Pre-Plan Your Display

The quality of your display is what will draw in your audience. If you’re winging it with a banquet table and a few chairs, don’t expect too many people to notice.

Instead, you’ll need to put a lot of time and effort into your exhibition. What can you do to stand out from the crowd? There are lots of ways, such as:

  • Using digital signage to create an eye-grabbing display for your brand
  • Hand out unusual giveaways like sunglasses, balloons, and Rubik’s cubes
  • Get creative with a stunt, such as using live animals at your display

These are all ways to spruce up a dull exhibition display. Make sure to take detailed measurements of your space before designing your presentation.

Set Your Meetings in Advance

Are there key players at this event that you need to see? If so, then don’t leave it up to a chance meeting. Instead, be proactive and arrange all your meetings in advance.

Set aside some time at your trade show booth to meet with crucial client prospects and business partners.

Promote Your Appearance

If you’re worried about nobody showing up to your booth, you can plan for that as well. It’s never too early to start promoting your appearance at the trade show.

You can make social media posts, send emails, and shoot some texts to ensure you have a crowd.

Bring the Right People

The chances are you won’t handle the booth entirely by yourself. That’s why you need to choose wisely when selecting a partner for the booth.
