Promoting Your Presence
General Information
Trade Shows are a great marketplace for industry buyers and sellers. Buyers come to the exhibition, in many cases, with a pre-set agenda of companies to visit. Utilizing pre-show promotion helps your company get on that "must-see" list of exhibitors.
The CLOSETS EXPO is a fast-paced and exciting forum for discovery. Many new and stimulating events happen during the exhibits, which creates a huge challenge for your company to try to stand out to attendees. Just setting up a booth on-site won’t guarantee your success. Your task is to decide what message and which vehicle will get attendees to focus their attention on your company. While most attendees hear about shows through direct mail, you may find a mix of mediums to be most effective.
Show Management offers the following tools to assist you in your pre and post show promotion:
- Exhibits Directory Advertising
- A variety of Sponsorship Opportunities
- Pre-Show regional mailing list rental
- Post-Show attendee list rental
- Exhibitor Forum
Exhibitors are encouraged to review the Promo Deadlines below, and take advantage of the many promotional and advertising opportunities that are available. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to complete your Program Listing as soon as possible.
