As an entrepreneur,
you are always on the lookout for ways to grow your sales. There is no doubt,
sales is the lifeblood of your company.
In this day and age
of technology, there is one marketing tool that gives you the biggest
opportunity to increase your sales, without burning your pocket.
This marketing tool
is exhibitions.
Joining exhibitions
gives you the following sales benefits:
1.
Discover and Identify New Groups of Customers
When you join
exhibitions, you will be able to discover and identify new groups of customers
that you will never thought exist and match your products and services.
This is one benefit
that you must always be on the lookout when exhibiting.
By new groups of
customers, it can be a new geographic market, or demographic market.
2.
Expand your Distribution Channels
Exhibition visitors
are searching for new products and services to distribute.
Indeed, if you are
able to deal with several of these potential distributors who are already
established and have a vast network, expect to see your distribution channels
grow and become robust.
3.
Find New Dealers
One of the
objectives of exhibition visitors is to become a dealer of a particular product
or service present in the expo.
If you are lucky,
you can be one of those companies signing a lot of dealers during the event.
Definitely, this
will give you a very high Marketing ROI. This will more than justify the reason
for your participation in the exhibition.
4.
Insights on the Potential Success of Your New
Product
One of the best ways
to get a huge amount of data with regards to your new product is during your
participation in the exhibition.
The amount of
visitors that will be in your area, and the amount of feedback and data that
you will generate such as sales, usability, likeability and viability, to
mention some, will give you precious insights to the potential success of your
new product.
5.
Increase your profitability
There are two things
to make your organization become profitable, one is reduce cost, and the other
is to increase sales.
Exhibitions allow
you to increase your sales, thus increasing your profitability.
Think of the profits
that you will let go if you will decide to just remain inactive. Of course, you
know very well, inactivity will do you no good.
It is only by being
aggressive, making wise marketing decisions that you will be able to increase
your profitability.
Joining exhibition
is a wise move. This is a move that assures you that at any given time you can
expect to increase your profitability.

In the frenzy of going digital in promoting your products and services, is joining exhibitions still a viable option?
The answer is a resounding yes!
Micro, Small and Medium Companies (MSME) should join exhibitions. There are a lot of benefits that await companies in joining exhibitions.
1. EXPAND YOUR BRAND AWARENESS
If the public and your target market do not see you you don’t exist. The consumer and business buyer behavior remains the same, you have to be present where they are.
Exhibitions are one of the mediums where they go and look for business opportunities.
Take note that one thing special about exhibitions are that the visitors gave their time and exerted effort to come to the venue and take a look at the event.
It means they are very much interested. You have their full attention, and all you have to do is engage them, and hope that they are persuaded to become your business partners.
2. GET QUALITY NETWORKS
Exhibition gathers people that you will never meet and talk within any other place.
Gain more quality connections and expand your network – exhibitions can do that for you.
It is the reason why exhibitions never get old. It will always be a special place where you can source out great connections.
3. HAVE AN AFFORDABLE MARKETING TOOL THAT DELIVERS IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED ROI
There are a lot of promotion tools to choose from but one thing that distinguishes exhibition is its affordability that is never hard on the pocket of MSMEs.
You can join exhibition and open doors of possibility for your company. Best of all, you can measure immediately the Return-On-Investment (ROI) of your participation.
Lastly, enjoy extended ROI of your investment as some clients that saw you during the exhibitions may call you after a month or when the time they needed your products and services.
4. GET A WEALTH OF INFORMATION ON YOUR COMPETITION AND INDUSTRY
Information is precious. It can provide you a competitive edge that can spell your big success in the industry where you operate.
Exhibition gathers the industry players; this becomes a center of information – a wealth waiting for you to tap.
Exhibition is a competitive intelligence tool where you can find the latest trends and innovation happening in your industry.
5. INCREASE YOUR SALES, CLOSE MORE DEALS, FIND BUSINESS PARTNERS AND INVESTORS
Joining exhibitions will give you the additional sales you are looking for. Again, remember the visitors came to the event interested in transacting or on the hunt for products and services like yours.
It follows that you will close more deals that you can never have if you are not part of the exhibition.

It is hard to succeed, it is easier to fail.
Bearing this in mind, creating a plan to achieve your goals become critical.
Your plan as an event management professional will guide you on how to manage the myriad of concerns and critical areas that is right in front of you.
There is no age level or years of expertise that dictate you don't need to plan because you are already a seasoned expert.
I hear this a lot of times, " my plan is in my head."
If you hear this from seasoned event management professionals, be afraid. The possibility of their failure is big.
You have to have a written plan.
A document that allows you to check and re-check your progress.
A plan is a basic requirement that an event management professional should have.
And if you don't have one when you are executing an event, luck will not save you from impending failure.
So stop wishing, start planning, and implement your plan.
