Exhibitions are a great way to show off your products or skills, while being able to network and meet new potential clients. They’re also a great way to reach new audiences and boost sales.
Due to this we’ve put together a few tips to help you plan your next event.
How to plan an exhibition
Art exhibitions are successful when planned carefully. This includes creating a visual plan and focusing on your marketing. When planning an exhibition you should consider:
- How you can boost your profile to increase exhibition attendees.
- The theme of your exhibition.
- The location.
- Whether you have any sales goals.
- How you want to build your brand.
If you’re looking to plan a trade show you want to make sure you fully promote your unique selling point (USP). When planning your show you want to think about:
- Creating measurable goals.
- Whether any competitors are attending.
- Create a visual concept for your exhibition/stand.
- What products you want to promote.
- Whether your staff understand the products they’re promoting.
- Are you offering any incentives?
Other things to consider include:
The venue
Your venue determines the number of guests and exhibitors you can have at your event. You also want to make sure you choose a venue that reinforces the image you want to portray.
Marketing
When planning an exhibition you need to consider how much money and effort you will need to put toward marketing. This will include marketing to exhibitors and attendees to persuade them on why they should attend/take part.
Are you going to include any special guests?
Guest speakers are great for conducting seminars or talks . This can provide great talking points throughout the exhibition helping to boost networking and increase your clientele list.
How are attendees going to get there?
When looking for a venue it’s important that you book somewhere that has easy access, transport links and parking. This will help increase attendee numbers as they’re more likely to attend if they can get there easily.
