According to Incomm Center for Trade Show Research and Sales Training, event attendees are 52% more likely to stop by your exhibit if you have an appealing promotional item to give them. As a result, awareness and interest in your exhibit and product line increase -- and you enhance potential for greater sales performance. So, what kind of promotional item is most effective? "The secret to getting the most visibility from the dollars you spend on promotional items is to choose gifts that people will want to use once they return to their homes and offices," said Jonathan E. Edelman of PromotionStore.com. A free catalog of the company's 750,000 items is available on request. Here are important considerations to help you choose your giveaway.
Effective Use of GiveawaysHow you distribute your trade show promotional item makes a difference in its perceived value and marketing effectiveness. For example, do not stack your entire supply of giveaways on your booth table for just anyone to take. This potentially diminishes the value of your "gift" to show attendees. Rather, personally and selectively hand out giveaways to visitors with whom you speak and who represent potential clients. Through thoughtful distribution of advertising specialties your product will be more memorable to your prospect and serves as a way to show your appreciation for the booth visit. You may also want to have booth visitors fill out a lead form before you offer the giveaway. This will further help qualify prospects and assist with your event follow-up marketing initiatives.
