A: Move beyond pens and stress balls! Consider offering exclusive content downloads (ebooks, whitepapers), free consultations or audits, interactive demos, access to valuable tools or calculators, or entry into a prize drawing for a relevant, high-value prize. The key is to offer something directly valuable to your target audience in exchange for their contact information.

We'll discuss specific formulas and tools you can use to calculate your trade show ROI and demonstrate the value of your exhibition investment. Don't forget to factor in both direct and indirect benefits!
Q: "Is social media really important for trade show marketing?"
A: Absolutely! Social media is crucial before, during, and after the event. Use it for pre-show promotion, real-time engagement during the show (live updates, stand tours, Q&As), and post-show follow-up and content sharing to extend the reach and lifespan of your exhibition efforts.
