When it comes to explaining your product’s features and benefits to potential customers, nothing beats the face-to-face interaction you get at an expo. Now it’s easier than ever to extend the sales and marketing benefits of your expo participation by using the Internet.  Thousands of people within your targeted audience may attend the expo. Here’s how to continue ‘talking’ with the prospects you meet, and even close the sale with those you may not have a chance to talk with. 

  • E-mail Marketing – You’ll gather many valuable leads during the expo. Use this contact information to your advantage. Have a system to reinforce your sales messages with these prospects on a regular basis. When they are ready to buy, you want them to automatically think of you.
  •  Close Sales Online – With so much booth traffic, your time with each prospect at an expo may be limited. So you’ll need a place to send them for more detailed information. Use your Web site as your 24-hour marketing tool, and build in options designed to help close the sale.
  •  Online Sales – By also offering show specials online, you may capture some of those prospects needed a little more time before deciding to buy from you. Online stores can also be used to upsell and create long-term loyalty among your customers.  Another consideration:
  • Professional Literature – When the expo gets busy, it can be difficult to answer all of the visitors’ questions. With professionally designed literature, you can still help influence their buying decisions by answering their questions and directing them to your Web site where the sale can be closed.

At Mid-America Events & Expos, we're not just going to sell you a booth. We can help you maximize the entire experience to your greatest advantage. Get started today by calling 612-798-7256.
