Can you
believe we’re already in February?
January seemed to whizz by in a grey day-filled haze, with most of the team
here at Guardian Display promising to stick to healthy resolutions such as Dry January,
or getting gym-fit (though we’re not seeing much evidence of that now the
determined ‘new year, new me’ feeling has passed us all by – cakes are firmly
back on the office menu!)
We’re
sure you’ve made some healthy resolutions for your business too, such as
developing your marketing plans and looking for ever better ways to increase
the return on your hard-earned investment. So this week we want to talk about what we believe is the very best way
for you to do just that…by making an exhibition of yourself!
Face-to-face contact – with
people who matter
So why should you be including exhibitions in
your marketing plan? Let’s start with
the fact that you’ll be meeting lots of people face-to-face – people with a
specific interest in what you do, and who have travelled to an exhibition with
the direct intention of finding out more – could you find a more captive and
positive audience than that, we wonder?
With 87%
of company directors agreeing that it’s far easier (and friendlier!) to
communicate with people in person than it is on the telephone, you’ll be able
to ditch that cold-calling list with confidence as you spend time with all
those potential clients in person, chatting with them over coffee about their
specific needs and how your business can help address them.
Let a well-designed stand do the
work for you
Of
course, with all your smooth, natural charisma on display there’s bound to be
floods of people clamouring to talk to you immediately…which is where a customised
exhibition stand will work wonders!
A
well-designed stand makes an immediately positive impact, catching people’s
eyes and informing them all about your business even if they haven’t got time
to stop and chat right then. In a fast-moving
business world where generating sales leads is king, an eye-catching stand that
does a whole lot of the work for you is something you can’t afford not to include at your next exhibition.
More people are buying at
trade events than ever before
It’s not
just our opinion, this one – the Association of Exhibition Organisers have backed
us up, with survey results confirming that 91% of buyers go to trade events to
buy goods and services. In fact, 29% of
buyers only buy at trade events…so
you need to ask yourself, can your company afford to miss out on such a huge
slice of potential new business?
When you
think about it, it’s easy to see why buyers favour exhibitions so much. They can easily find out all they need to
know under one roof, in the space of just a few hours and some easy
conversation.
Often,
of course, buyers will attend an exhibition just to browse or make
enquiries…and this is where your stand can play another huge part in the
deal-making process, by attracting people who didn’t even know they needed your specific goods or services
until they arrived at the exhibition and you were able to make their dreams
come true!
So now
we’ve convinced you of all the benefits exhibitions promise to bring to your
business, our next mission is to tell you all about how we at Guardian Display
can help you on your way, by providing you with custom-built, reusable display
solutions that will create a stir at your next event…for all the right reasons.
We’ve

friendly team and our reputation for service and quality is second to none – so
