Trade Show Bob

Priming show attendees for a sale can mean the difference between your promotion floating or flopping. Your approach might involve sending a creative pre-show mailer, building online hype, or incorporating a unique experience into your booth. In this month’s debut installment of our Trade Show Bob blog, Bob Milam explains why priming visitors for a sale is a critical piece of your exhibit-marketing program.

Reprint of the Month

But if you’ve got a less-than-sprawling space, you can still play with the big boys. Leading designers, exhibit houses, and experts in perception share tips for making your booth look bigger than it actually is.
