Tips & Suggestions:

  • Don’t just sit there – engage your audience!
  • Smile, be happy, ask open questions (How, Who, What, When, Where, Why)
  • What would make them laugh, smile, or ask more?
  • Set up your stand to be visually appealing and you’re half way there
  • What about a prize draw, free giveaway, or competition?
  • What is it about your company that you want to demonstrate? Use that as your focus for engagement
  • Think long-term. You may make sales on the day, but the real value typically comes long-term, from additional sales, referrals, and brand exposure. Make sure you take names, numbers, add to your email subscribers etc.
