Having a stand at a large exhibition - has it worked for you?

[Trish FCA]

Good luck with the show this week. People always want to do home improvements. Let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

Wow! It’s really a good job and I am also interested in it. I used to publish pamphlets for advertising. I can give some more ideas later on after discussing my friends.

Wow! I am still recovering from exhibition. It was incredible. We have generated so many leads (and made quite a few sales, too) and the enthusiastic response we got from the 1000s of people who stopped by confirmed that we are on the right track with our business. I am so glad we did and we'll be looking at doing many more in the future.

I learnt quite a few lessons too, like to hire someone else to pack for us. After five very long days being on my feet, it was too much to have to pack up and load up after the exhibition finished.

I was also underprepared for the toll it would take on my voice. My throat was so sore by the end of days 3 - 5.

Our competition worked well and we've got some great market research out of it. I thought we'd generate more sales at the actual home show and recoup our investment immediately, but discovered that people want to 'live' with their decision. We offer a service to bring our books to people's homes (fee waived if they order) and that's what's taking off right now.

I had great people working with me - having the right people was invaluable.

The phone is already ringing and the bookings are coming in so I couldn't be happier

Well done, Silk.

Great to see all your hard work is paying off. And it seems you learnt a lot from the experience too.

Did you manage to take some pics of your exhibit?

Glad to hear it went well, and thanks for the advice.

After seeing your stand and a few of the others we have just signed our agreement for the trade show I talked to you about.

Was able to negotiate a great deal on a bigger stand as well given your feedback on trying to talk to people in and talk to them.

It will be good to hear how business improves over the next coming months especially after you head out to peoples homes and consult with them.

Nice work.

It would be great to know if any of the forum members have stands at events and trade shows. That way if any of us are attending we can make a point of visiting and showing some support.

Cheers,

My experience was good and exiting. It’s hard to manage but there is nothing, which is impossible. We advertise in television and publish pamphlets.

We are starting to plan for our next exhibition in August, which is very exciting. Help me choose which wallpaper to feature. Which designs do you like the most? Which ones do you think will be a big hit?
