Read and ThinkWhich Trade Show to Attend?
There is a trade show for every conceivable purpose these days. When you are deciding what trade show to attend, the key is to be clear about your goals. That will guarantee you get the most value out of it. 1. Find products or services to buy If you are looking for a specific product, you should choose a trade show with as many vendors as possible for the product you are shopping for, which can give yourself much more options and a much greater selection area.

2. Find buyers for products or services that you sell If you want to sell products, it helps to be clear about who your customers are. For instance, if your company specializes in fireplaces, and you have a booth at a home show, you now have to compete with all the other fireplace vendors that have booths at the same show. While in a wine-tasting trade show, you will be able to target many of the same clients but with far less competition. As you see, your product doesn't necessarily have to fit the theme of the trade show: it only has to fit the customer.

Read and Think3. Build a professional network with people on either a local or national scale As the old saying goes, it's not "what" you know but "who" you know that matters. And trade shows offer an excellent forum to meet and greet other professionals. First, select a trade show aimed at your professional groups, ask questions to make sure you understand their business and explain a little bit about what you do and how you will be able to help them in their business. Then, exchange business cards and ask to schedule a formal meeting later on to discuss it in greater depth. These three approaches, when used well, will help ensure that your trade-show dollars reap incredible dividends. Just remember, focus on what you want out of the trade show first. Then, choose the trade show that best helps you accomplish that goal. (341 words) translationtranslation
