<p><span>Your approach to trade show services can be identified easily with a trained trade show service manager, our approach begins with identifying what it will take for clients to successfully meet their trade show goals. </span></p>

<p><span>A Service Team with trade show knowledge should come from years of experience from designing, manufacturing and managing exhibits. With marketing &amp; technical expertise on the trade show floor, making sure the process runs smoothly from the beginning of the trade show, right down to the inspection of your exhibit properties when they come back to the storage facility. Keeping track of items that need to be restored or re-furbished for your next trade show. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Whether your exhibiting in a  10’ x 20&#8242; trade show display, 20’ x 20&#8242; trade show display rental or even  a 40’ x 40&#8242; trade show exhibit, you will see the creativity and innovative solutions that a full trade show service team can bring to your experience on the trade show floor. </span></p>
<p><span>As you begin the process of exhibiting at trade shows and find yourself  looking for advice on your trade show program, contact a dedicated service team. It all begins and ends with the &#8220;statement &amp; impact&#8221; that you would like to make when the doors open at the convention center.</span></p>
<p><span>Whether your trade show is in <strong>Chicago,  Las Vegas, New York, Orlando, or even an International Trade Show</strong> venue &#8211; a dedicated trade show service team is invaluable at creating the results with ease.</span></p>

<p class="normal"><strong>Promotions That Drive Better Trade Show Booth Staffing </strong></p>
<p class="normal">Perhaps you have been justifying your trade show pre-show promotions because they help bring in more people to your booth. They do that, and more. A good pre-show promotion, when tied to an in-booth giveaway, can also improve the performance of your booth staffers. Here’s how:</p>
<p class="normal">&nbsp;</p>
<li class="normal">Your staffers will have an easier time developing rapport and qualifying attendees, by building on the good feelings the attendee has after receiving a nice gift for coming to your booth.<span id="more-29"></span></li>
<p class="normal">&nbsp;</p>
<li class="normal">If you’ve picked a giveaway that ties in well with your company’s marketing message, your staffers will have an easier time remembering to promote your competitive advantage. For example, if your message is focused on flexibility, and you offer to visitors Swiss Army knives, your staffers will have a visual reminder to promote your versatility message. (Note: since 9/11, Swiss Army knives don’t make good giveaways – not everyone will pack them in checked baggage.)</li>
<p class="normal">&nbsp;</p>
<li class="normal">Your staffers get a great engaging line: “Did you receive our pre-show promotion?” People who remember receiving it will slow down, and be more approachable on the show floor. (I’ve had people actually reach inside their show bag and pull it out!). For the people who did not remember receiving it, your staffers can then show the invitation (nicely clipped to their lead card clip board) and repeat the same offer verbally for the at-show giveaway.</li>
<p>And perhaps most of all, your staffers don’t have to go outside their comfort zone as much in pulling in people out of the aisle. They will have a portion of the audience come in on their own, asking for the at-show giveaway. That relieves them of some of the stress of talking to strangers all day, and can add some fun, too. And, they’ll be more likely to volunteer for trade show booth duty next time!</p>
