I wrote yet another book! This one is pretty big, actually, with over 90 chapters, all of which are rather meaty. The book, The Book on Marketing: No More Excuses for Marketing Inaction, can be pre ordered or, depending on when you see this, purchased by clicking the link HERE. A new chapter will post daily for close to 100 days and then the book will be available for immediate purchase instead of just preorders.

I also released the rough drafts of the book chapter by chapter on my website and you can read what I wrote and get the gist of the chapters. Honestly, you don’t even need to read the book. There is enough information between the blog postings and the resources pages found HERE that the rest of the book might just be fluff.

With that said, the blog is a very first draft, mostly notes, of the final book. It’s out of order and a tad messy. This gives you a peek inside my writing process where I do the technical, eclectic part first and the voice tends to change depending on the topic I am discussing and the research I did for the chapter. Paraphrasing from common knowledge sources in the first draft gives it that eclectic look and feel. So please, enjoy my scattered brain and typos in this draft of The Book on Marketing: No More Excuses for Marketing Inaction.

The book itself its a much easier format to read plus adds a lot more of me into it as it goes on with real world, easy to grasp examples where I could put them and honestly, I would truly appreciate your purchase.

Trade Show.

A booth is a fantastic location to gather leads. A free report or gift does wonders once more. Many people will stop by your booth when there is a huge line waiting to see what the excitement is all about. Benefits should drive both your salespeople and your sales materials. Keep in mind what your potential customers are thinking: "What's in it for me?”

Consumer understanding is the foundation for business success. A company cannot succeed if its customers are unaware of it. Customers won't look for your company. Those who are recognizable, prominent, and easily accessible to them will draw their attention. Get out there and advertise your company! How do you go about that? trade-show-marketing For any firm to succeed, traditional advertising and promotions are still essential. You may advertise and promote your brand in a variety of ways. One activity that is a particularly effective way to promote your brand is taking part in trade exhibits.

There are several chances to market enterprises, your brand, and your goods and services at business trade exhibitions and other exhibition venues. Additionally, they offer a fantastic opportunity for direct communication with both present and new clients. Trade show attendees are genuinely interested in the goods and services being offered. Other than that, why would they go to such a thing? Profit from this chance to increase sales by efficiently promoting at trade exhibitions.

Banners, banner stands, gifts, competitions, or prize drawings, literature, and interactive components like touch screens to collect consumer data, demonstrate a product, or perform a survey can all be used to bring visitors to your booth. Make your booth engaging and exciting by picking a special theme. A bigger number of booth traffic will be produced through key sales and marketing messaging, attractive signage, educational literature, appealing gifts, and engaging aspects.

While carefully planning your trade show exhibit is vital, doing some research far in advance of trade fairs is just as important. Choose the trade exhibitions that will best serve your company's marketing and sales objectives. Analyze each trade show's specifics, such as the number of companies that exhibit, the typical number of visitors (possible clients), the attendance demographics by job function, etc. If at all possible, speak with companies that have participated in the event in the past and solicit their input. The cost of exhibiting at trade exhibitions varies. You must thoroughly investigate every aspect and choose which trade fairs would provide the best return on your investment.

Once you've chosen which trade exhibitions to attend, sign up as soon as you can. A lot of trade show organizers provide simple online registration, and some even give discounts for early registration, saving your business hundreds and even thousands of dollars. 

Set goals for your workers at the trade show exhibit as well as for yourself. Make a list of your goals and rank them according to significance. Staff meetings should produce strategies for accomplishing those goals and encourage everyone to concentrate on achieving the most crucial ones. Examples of objectives include planning "X" number of sales demos, gathering information on rival brands, and gathering "X" number of sales leads via a leads qualification survey.

Publish information about your participation in the trade show on your website, via email campaigns, newsletters, blogs, social media sites, and email signatures, and send it to confirmed attendees (or a targeted list created from the list of confirmed attendees). Make sure to promote any contests or prize drawings you want to organize in order to draw more visitors to your booth. Make sure everyone knows where your booth will be so they can easily find you.

A contest or drawing for a prize is a fantastic method to draw visitors to your booth. Ask visitors to your booth to complete a leads qualifying survey in order to be entered into the competition or prize drawing when you advertise your appearance at the trade show. Choose a prize that has broad appeal to both your present and new customers and is related to your company, products, or services.

Ample supplies should be brought to the trade fair to ensure that you never run out of vital information, brochures, business cards, or handouts. Review your study to determine the attendance. Determine the proportion of attendees who might stop by your booth, then bring that many materials. In all likelihood, not every visitor will stop by your stand. Additionally, inspire enthusiasm among all employees who will be manning your booth. To engage in intelligent dialogue with potential consumers, ensure that they are aware about the business, present and upcoming products and services, market trends, and rival companies. Encourage them to talk to attendees, fill out the leads qualifying survey to collect contact information, and stop by rival booths.
