Your audience gets bored with your product — no matter how compelling the offer is!
“You’re only given one little spark of madness,” said the late actor and comedian Robin Williams. “You mustn’t lose it."
This is true for your business as well.
Williams used his spark to ignite his comedic rocket and blast past the established boundaries of his craft. Your trade show arena provides a similar avenue to show off your spark: It enables you to push beyond the established boundaries.

So how do you compete with the bells and whistles of your competitors to get the attention of solid leads? Here are 5 progressive ways that can help you maximize foot traffic to your booth so that you have a successful experience.
1. IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE ROLE OF A RESEARCH REVOLUTIONARY
Usually, these are the common tasks that an event manager does in the planning stage.
1. Contact registered guests before you ever arrive on the trade show floor.
2. Send them a simple postcard or email asking them to register in advance on your website, and then send them a friendly email a few days before the event. Let them know you’re looking forward to meeting them and perhaps give them some advice about getting the most out of the event. This is a chance to get them excited to stop by your booth.
3. Mention any contests or promotions you’ll be doing in your booth and invite them to participate. Close with another invitation to stop by and meet you personally.
HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE VERTERAN TRADE SHOW MANAGER, YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS. YOU ARE READING THIS, BECAUSE, YOU WANT TO BETTER YOUR ART AND STAND ABOVE FROM THE CROWD
Before you design your next trade show booth experience, ask these 3 questions. You can be assured, once you go through this exercise, you are bound to stand
1. Is your brand’s core value proposition still an accurate representation of what you do well?
2. If so, are (enough of) today’s buyer seeking what you’re selling or do they seek something else?
3. Are you competing in a crowded category with established brands?
Get together with your stakeholders and get their input.
Drive a consensus on the 3 KEY ASPECTS of your product, as explained below.
As shown above: The above chart might look somewhat familiar to you. his has been furnished by Demandbase, leader in account-based marketing. As you can see, the role of the events manager is tied to 'Demand Generation', 'Field and Channel Marketing', 'Director of Communications', and 'VP of Product Marketing'.
ACCORDING TO HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL, BY CHANGING THE PRODUCTS' POSITIONING IN THE MARKETPLACE, COMPANIES CAN PROPEL THEIR PRODUCTS BACKWARD OR FORWARD INTO LUCRATIVE GROWTH PHASE
To make a positive impact on your ROI, decision needs to be made on your product positioning, before you can design a successful exhibit that will engage your target audience.
Stealth Positioning — By associating a less appealing product, (or, if you are trying out a completely new marketing strategy) with a category consumers embrace, a company can overcome consumer resistance and advance the product from introduction to growth.
For example, when Apple positioned Apple Mini in the hyper competitive market segment of low-end PCs, it simply suggested that it was not a PC—a strategy that not only disassociates the Mini from other low-priced, commoditized PCs, but leaves future marketing options wide open. It emphasized the Mini’s many other uses: a music server; a dedicated Internet port for the kitchen; a mobile recording studio for the band; a backup device for your photos; a TiVo-like recorder and digital entertainment hub for the living room.
OR
Breakaway Positioning — By combining features of products in distinctly different categories, companies can reposition a mature product for growth. This strategy allows the product to shift backwards on the life cycle stage moving from the plateau performance of maturity into a thriving growth position. It redefines competition, it brings forth rapid disruption and give birth to a line of competing copycats.
TIME WAS NEVER PERCEIVED TO BE STYLISH — That is, before Swatch’s breakaway positioning also disrupted the watch category by creating a fashion accessory subcategory. Just to name a few, Calvin Klein and Coach followed suit. Fossil, for example, was launched a year after Swatch specifically to exploit the new market space. Using this breakaway positioning strategy, Swatch has become the best-selling wristwatch of all time.
OR
Reverse Positioning — By stripping away attributes consumers expect in a mature product, and adding some surprising new ones, companies can shift a product backward from maturity into the growth phase.
REVERSE POSITIONING IS A RADICAL IDEA - But, one that has gained mammoth momentum with companies ranging from General Electric to Procter & Gamble, and Levi's to Coca-Cola — who innovate and introduce products with global implications in the developing world. For example, the $500, battery operated electrocardiogram machine, intended as a solution for rural Indian markets, the product is now making inroads in the U.S. as a solution for first responders.
Still not sure, how to position your product? Get busy in creating a questionnaire and asking your clients what they want. Make that the first requirement of your revolutionary role.
2. IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE PLAY OF SEDUCTION
“Saints and Sinners may be separated by their actions, but they are united by their reaction to passion.”
― Gaiven Clairmont
Passionately Woo Your Existing Clients and Indoctrinated Influencers
It is an added bonus if your clients, stop by your booth. BUT DO NOT EXPECT IT. Make every effort to give them a reason to visit your booth instead of someone else's. Yes, you can offer a giveaway, or something thing of a greater value, that is brand appropriate, instead of mugs and pens and other gimmicky items that will either get thrown out or, will degrade the perception of brand.
INSTEAD, SEDUCE THEM WITH THE SCIENCE OF SEROTONIN
Popularized by Simon Sinek, Serotonin is the chemical we feel when we are respected, admired, and given preferential treatment. It boosts our confidence and makes us feel awesome.
Above all, when our peers and our adversaries, see us, for being celebrated, it boosts their serotonin by making them feel good because, it is an universal acknowledgement of trust and tenure.

3. LIGHT UP YOUR MARKETING

As shown above: Sheridan Healthcare enticed their target audience with reduction score that tied in with their microsite, as shown below, and the final pay off, with a visit to their booth. More importantly, they did not disappoint the people who were not visiting them at the show. They had gift cards for the people who were filling to fill up certain data points that they needed for their research. {Yes, the marketing strategy was designed by our creative house.}
YOUR BRAND PRESENCE IS NOT LIMITED WITHIN THE CONFINES OF YOUR BOOTH SPACE. SCOPE OUT THE LOCAL BUSINESS. FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN PARTNER WITH THEM. ASK US — WE HAVE DONE IT YOUR PRODUCT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE INNOVATIVE TO BENEFIT FROM RADICAL NEW POSITIONING -- HOWEVER, THE ARCHITECTURE & MESSAGING OF THE EXHIBIT DESIGN, MUST CREATE A TASTE FOR CURIOSITY IN THE PROSPECTS' MIND — AN EXAMPLE, THE TASTE OF TRADE SHOW SUCCESS Marketers oscillate between two 2 contradicting goals -- making their brands distinctive and making them central in their category. 'Central brands', such as Coca-Cola in soft drinks, and McDonald’s in fast food, comes to mind, as these brands are most representative of their type. These brands shape category dynamics, including consumer preferences, pricing, and the pace and direction of innovation. On the other hand, 'Distinctive brands', such as Tesla in cars, ("Tesla Motors has no advertising, no ad agency, no CMO, no dealer network".) and Dos Equis in beer (Most Interesting Man in the World - ”life should be lived interestingly.”), stand out from the crowd and avoid direct competition with widely popular central brands. |
"If I am neither of the above, how should I advance with my product awareness?"
Short answer,
DOUSE YOUR MARKETING WITH DOPAMINE Dopamine is highly addictive. "Dopamine is what produces that irresistible urge to check every notification on your phone."
LEARNING FROM ESURANCE
This new upcoming brand wanted to build brand awareness rapidly.
How did they do it?
Immediately following the 2014 Super Bowl, Esurance launched one of the very popular marketing ploys: the sweepstakes. In their TV commercial, which took place right after the Super Bowl ended, The Office star John Krasinski introduced the $1.5 million prize Esurance would give to a single Twitter user who tweeted using the hashtag #EsuranceSave30 during the following 36 hours.
DO NOT BE DISHEARTENED. YOU DO NOT NEED 1.5 MN TO DRENCH YOUR AUDIENCE IN DOPAMINE. HOWEVER, YOU DO NEED TO BE UNIQUE IN YOUR GIVEAWAYS TO ACTIVATE DOPAMINE.
HERE IS AN IDEA FOR AN UNIQUE GIVEAWAY.
ENTICE THEM WITH A BODY SUIT. SAY WHAT? —
Dubbed Zozosuit, it generates 3D models of your bodies once you put it on and scanned it with your smartphone. The idea is providing clothes that take the guesswork out of sizing will not only win over those who already shop online, but also attract customers who are put off by the hassles of shopping.

The fact is, the HOOK NEEDS TO BE HANDSOME. MORE POWER TO YOU, IF YOU CAN SUB-CONSCIOUSLY INTEGRATE IT WITH YOUR BRAND OFFERING — that is the key to drive addictive marketing. Design promotional communications or advertise on the event’s website. Keep your website up to date and start building anticipation in your social media posts that tell what you’ll be doing at the event.
If you have new products or services, create SPLASH PAGES and SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS about. Write blog posts that will entice guests. Dab into INFLUENCER MARKETING — learning from the example from ESURANCE. The more people see your name and your unique hashtag before the event, the more likely, they’ll look for your exhibit once they arrive.

4. EN-LIST THE RIGHT BOOTH STAFFERS TO DO THE RIGHT ROUTINE IN YOUR 3D SPACE
"Shared experiences are at the heart of connected customers. At the center of shared experiences is emotion, which fuels greater level of activity and interaction." Brian Solis
With all the talk of technology driving the four key realms of our world: commerce, health care, learning, and environment — it comes down, to the emotive business of people management that will gain you success at trade shows.
As the neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor puts it, “The truth is, we are feeling creatures that think.” The word “motivation” and “emotion” share the same Latin root, “movere,” which means to move. Emotions are automated motions in action. "The challenge for marketers is that they originate without our knowing. We don’t consciously choose our feelings. They often choose for us." -- unless, you are a zen practitioner by trade.
OXYTOCIN IS THE OXYGEN OF YOUR TRADE SHOW MARKETING
Again, popularized by Simon Sinek, Oxytocin is the chemical that we secrete when we are surrounded by trust and safety. It makes us feel good and wanted. Select your team of booth staffers and forge emotional bonds. Offer them incentives, just as you would offer incentives to potential leads. They will feel that they matter, thus, they will move with energy and act with purpose. Make a friendly competition for your staffers by challenging them to gather the most leads or schedule the most follow-ups. A gift card for a favorite restaurant or the promise of a few days off with pay can be inspiring as well.
Happy staffers are excellent for your trade. Because, they extend positive experiences across networks and influence the decision of others in real time, over time, thus lending longivity to your brand essence.

However, they require considerable training to ensure they can speak intelligently about your product, company, and brand. Crowd gatherers – Friendly and inviting, crowd gatherers stop, greet, and engage attendees in the aisles. They may ask qualifying questions to gauge attendees' interest and then direct them towards, lead generator or sales assistant. They may also help seat visitors in a theater, scan attendee badges, pass out thank-you gifts, and lead visitors further into the exhibit after a presentation. Lead generators – These staffers often have more company/product training than crowd gatherers, and as such, they ask more probing questions to further qualify attendees. Lead generators also tend to record lead data and pass off the most qualified prospects to company sales staff for ongoing discussion. Sales assistants – A sales assistant is trained in a specific product area, although he or she may not offer demos or presentations. The sales assistant's role is to answer basic questions and write orders, keeping key salespeople available for VIP meetings and demos. Presenters – Presenters are the talking heads in your exhibit.

5. PROVIDE SPACE TO BATTLE THEIR ANXIETY
Nearly two-thirds of Americans (63 percent) say the future of the nation is a very or somewhat significant source of stress, slightly more than perennial stressors like money (62 percent) and work (61 percent), according to the American Psychological Association’s report,
"Stress in America™: The State of Our Nation"
TWO-THIRDS OF AMERICANS SUFFER FROM ANXIETY — IT IS REAL AND PRESENT
Hence, the math runs something like this. More than half of your attendees are suffering from anxiety that we often pass it off as 'STRESS". Add to that, the numbing noise and the over-stimulation of information and conversation all around, makes them fatigued by the time they make their rounds and come visit your booth. If they are acting like zombies, do not be surprised.
Instead, before you talk to them, lead them towards the designate space in your booth where they can get their body moving, before they interact with you. Let them activate their boy parts before they activate their brain.
Use VIRTUAL REALITY to sleigh the monsters of anxiety and spread the buzz. "Beat Saber" is a virtual reality rhythm game where your controllers act as light sabers used to slice through oncoming beats with precisely handcrafted music. Unleash sound, sight and movement to silence the minds of your audience and stimulate their brains for an effective conversation!

By following these 5 easy steps, it is guaranteed that you will drive more foot traffic into your booth. Remember, to reap a marvelous result, make it work in unison.
However, as you are center point to your events, it's important to manage your work load to avoid burning out.
According to Rob Davidson,
"In our experience event organization is very much like an exponential curve. It starts slowly and gradually and as the event nears the workload builds and builds until the event itself, when you are trying to appear calm on the outside but running about daft on the inside making sure everything is going well, if not you're firefighting, and then before you know it the event is over. If you don't manage this properly with yourself and your team then you can burn out. If you don't manage the pressure, you make bad decisions. If you make bad calls, you exert more pressure on yourself. It's hard work no matter what role you have. The client expects a great event, the audience a quality experience and you are responsible for various aspects of this."
