Tips to ease at the B2B Marketing Expo 2020

Now that the purpose of the B2B Marketing Expo 2020 has been dealt with, here are some tried & tested tips to ease at the marketing expo or at any conference, trade shows, corporate events for that matter. 

1 Define your goals & create an action plan 

Define your goals by answering such questions like why you are there and what do your ideal outcomes look like? Are they related to knowledge building, forming relationships or buying specific services or products? 

Reading more about the expo, the exhibitors, speakers scheduled for the expo and also, prioritizing exhibitors and preparing some questions relatable to your business should be the ideal beginning strategy.  

2 Get involved even before the trade show starts

Getting active on social media will help in this case. One can follow the official social media platforms representing the trade show in order to match one’s expectations. 

One can start following and connecting with other delegates, partners and speakers who are scheduled to grace the occasion at the trade show. It will work as the “ice-breaker” moment even before one meets them physically. 

3 Carry the essentials

Basic items like a pen, notepad, business cards (a lot), the phone are all one need at the business expos.  

4 Stay engaged during the trade show

One must not let go of this opportunity to build a base for future networking. Not spending too much time with the ones you already know and trying to engage with newer people is a good way, to begin with 

Dividing the time between the number of exhibitors you have chosen to visit whilst also including for impromptu networking will help one stay on course. Also, plan for regular breaks to not be drained out completely after the show. 

5 Ask to send information on email 

While it is often the practice of collecting every piece of literature and promotional gift that the exhibitors are offering, try not to follow it and ask the exhibitor to send you relevant information on email. It remains safe for future reference.
