Choosing Promotional Products For Trade Shows: Beyond Giving Out “Stuff”

Recorded On: 11/19/2019

As promotional product professionals, we don’t always realize the impact that a “giveaway” can have for a trade-show exhibitor. After all, when we walk through a show floor, the items featured are not “promotions,” they’re samples, and the rules are different. This presentation is an overview for trade-show exhibitors on best practices for choosing and distributing promotional products for. Join Rama Beerfas, MAS, CTSM for this webinar that will briefly cover four areas to consider when choosing promotional products to increase booth traffic during a trade show for maximum impact on ROI/ROO. Whether you’re exhibiting or you’re recommending products to a client, and whether it’s an international trade show or your local Chamber’s tabletop show, this presentation will help you choose more wisely and overcome the “must give out stuff to everyone” mindset that many exhibitors have.


Key Takeaways:
1.    Rama’s five rules for trade-show promotional products.
2.    Read the contract—make sure your promotion is show-approved.
3.    ROI/ROO with promo products at trade shows—yes, it’s possible!
4.    Gamification of promo products in a trade-show/event venue.
