Trade shows are a great place to make your business – big or small – known by your potential market, gain more clients and ultimately increase your profits. Traditional and online companies offering the same or related products and services join these trade shows to showcase what they have to offer. Attending one will require you to put up and use promotional materials that you may no longer need after the expo. There are temporary and short-term marketing materials you can make use of for this kind of business expo.
Banners and signs
Pull up banners, flags and signs will help your booth stand out from the rest. Print your logo and your offerings on these materials and potential customers will come flocking to your booth to learn more about your products and services. Place them in a conspicuous area, and these banners and signs should be colourful enough to attract attention.
Brochures
This type of advertising material has been around for many years. They withstood the test of time and innovations in technology. They are now more colourful, full of graphics and information that the customers need to learn about your business. You can give them away to booth visitors; they can get back to you if they become interested in what you are offering. Make your contact information easily visible on one of the pages.
Novelty items
These can be mugs, pens, tumblers, etc. You can print the logo of your business on them. Who doesn’t want a freebie? When people use these items, they will remember your products and services. The idea of recall is crucial in advertising. You want something that will have a positive recall for people. This will bring in customers.
Catalogues
Catalogues are much like brochures, but with more content. If you have a multitude of products and services, this type of material will be most beneficial to your business. You can put necessary information about each of your products – their prices, ingredients, etc. You can also add graphics, as people tend to rely on visuals first before they read any text. Old catalogues of times past did not have many graphics because computers were not as mainstream then as now. All-text catalogues are boring, and people will likely just toss them without even opening.
Business cards
Business cards are the smallest promotional materials, but they are also very useful. Your business name and logo, your name and contact information are all you need to put on your business card. Those you give it to will contact you should they require your products or services.
If you use the right marketing materials, they can effectively aid you in boosting your sales and reaching more potential customers. Running a business does not only involve the day-to-day operations; you also have to take care of the advertising aspect, and how you can gain more clients for the continued success of your enterprise. Hiring an advertising firm, or even a freelance graphic artist, will significantly benefit you in the long run.
