What Are Tradeshows?

For those of you who don't already know, tradeshows are exhibitions for companies in specific industries to showcase and demonstrate their latest products and/or services. They also provide opportunities for businesses to check out their competition's work, examine market trends, and develop professional connections. Ultimately, tradeshow's provide lots of opportunities for businesses to develop and promote their brand.

Other Tradeshow Materials

Along with your tradeshow display, you'll need printed material to hand out in order to develop relationships. These materials will help potential clients and partners remember you after they've left the exhibit, and can encourage them to contact you in the future. Some examples of these are:

• Business cards
  • These are expected by customers
  • Yours must stand out from the rest of the pack
• Brochures/Pamphlets
  • An effective way to provide customers with information after the fact
