How to Maximize Your Tradeshow Investment

Exhibiting at a trade show can be painful, expensive and exhausting. In the span of a few days, or even hours you have to create a temporary storefront, effectively display yourself and/or your business , and engage with people who stop by in a meaningful way.

You can’t do it alone. Here’s where we can help. You can’t afford to send your entire staff to the show, but you can leverage the internet and mobile marketing to help.

Here are 7 Tips to Make Your Next Tradeshow a Smashing Success

Before the Show

1 – Promote Your Booth on the Trade Show Website

Many attendees will try to plan their visit to the show. They will do this by visiting the show’s website and/or using social media or mobile site. What is your presence in those places? Can you be found? Consider purchasing a featured listing so that your company is listed at the top of searches. TOP of mind awareness is the ultimate GOAL here. Use whatever they offer you to the maximum to STAND OUT.

2 – Promote Your Booth on YOUR Website & Facebook Fan Page

Place the show’s logo and your booth number there to let your site’s visitors know you’ll be exhibiting at the show. Blog posts giving the inside scoop on your planning process also raise interest and make attendees feel more connected. Use your site’s capabilities and promote it on the home page!

Promote, Promote, Promote via Social Media (Facebook is more powerful than ever). Promote your posts (for as little as 5-10 bucks to drive maximum views, shares and likes). You can even run a contents or giveaway promoting the event.

At the Show

3 – Use QR Codes, Mobile Texting and Social Media to Capture & Connect with NEW leads & prospects

If you’ve done a good job promoting your booth, you won’t be able to personally speak with everyone who stops by. Automate the follow up. The “fish bowl” method is antiquated and sources like Constant Contact make this a breeze to Attract, Engage and Convert more leads. Make sure your booth gives attendees the power to get the information they need. QR Codes are a great for this on signs, banners and booths . At each product display in your booth, include a QR code that your guests can scan to win something or offer information of value to them. The QR code may take them to a lead capture page, mobile version of your website, or to a video of your product in action, education or testimonials of what other clients have to say about you. Mobile text follow up is one of the most effective ways to follow up with people has open rates are approximately 97% compared to email at 10-20%.

4 – Create Mobile Landing Pages on Your Website

You could also have a QR Code that points to the landing page on your website where attendees can sign up for your newsletter, coupons, prizes, gifts, ebooks or free reports. Just remember, if you direct visitors to your website during the show, they are likely to be accessing it from a smart phone or other mobile device. Make sure your web site is mobile-friendly . And be sure to let your social media followers in on the action with frequent news from your booth, picture updates, winners, fun and humorous updates that make you look real and position you ahead of your competition.

5 – Use Available Technology to Capture Leads

Ensuring your visitors can get information from you is only half the battle. How will you get contact information from them? Many trade shows offer mobile applications you can use to collect sales leads not only in your booth, but in the shuttle bus or at the hotel bar. Remember to make every effort to capture information quickly, easily and most importantly, set up a “follow up email or text”. People do business with people that follow up fast, as promised and provide good, valuable information. Remember that positioning and building trust is the key to building meaningful and profitable relationships.

6 – Show off Your Wrapped Vehicle

Putting a clean, great wrapped vehicle on display is one of the most powerful ways to garnish attention and position yourself as the leading authority in your industry. Offer to take pictures next to the vehicles with prospects as “celebrity awareness”. Wrapped vehicles demand attention, created expanded brand awareness and promote trust in new and existing clients by letting them know you are serious about your business and take great pride in your investment’s and company image. Put QR Codes, and mobile texting campaigns on stickers on the windows promoting your business as an aggressive way to capture more “ready to buy” prospects.

After the Show

7 – Blog & Brag about Your Time at the Trade Show

It’s hard to stay motivated after an exhausting show, but making it fun makes its easier to do and profit from. Now is the time to talk about your presence at the show. People you met, ideas you created, etc. A post-show re-cap post is a great way to share your success with customers and prospects who couldn’t make it to the show.
Post pictures and videos from your booth and from other show events in which you engaged in. Share the good times you had with everyone.

When exhibiting at a trade show it’s easy to get wrapped up in what’s going on right in front of you for the few days the show is open. Using the internet, social media, and mobile marketing you can expand your presence not just beyond your booth, but beyond the event for months and years to come.

More Than Just Vehicles

In these days of drive-thru and delivery, there are still times when something smaller and portable is needed. Speaking Engagements, Trade Shows, Open Houses, Events and your Lobby all need to convey your message, just like your vehicle does. Not to worry, Revolution Wraps has you covered.

Retractable Banners and Table Throws

Retractable Banners and Table Throws are great when the event is short-like speaking at the local Kiwanis Club, partial day trade shows or Chamber functions. Quick set-up and tear-down, and easily transported in any vehicle, they are the perfect solution to make a bold statement in a short amount of time. As an added bonus, when not in use for their primary task, Retractable Banners and Table Throws look great in your showroom or lobby.

Pop-Up Displays

Pop-Up Displays are the ideal answer for the larger shows and events when it’s important to make a big impact in a small amount of time. Easy to set up and dismantle, portable in most vehicles and shippable, Pop-Up Displays make the impact you need in a simple-to-use package.

Need some counter space? Believe it or not, there are even pop-up counter displays available.

Modular Displays

You only get one chance to make a first impression. When you have invested in booth space at the big show, you need a display that makes an impression from across the show hall. When this is the case, a Modular Display will make that Big and Bold impression.

The other great thing about Modular Displays is they transform to meet your needs. Have a 20 x20 island in Las Vegas in February, a 10 x 20 in Orlando in March and a 30 x 40 space in New York in the fall, one booth does it all.

And wait, what’s that up in the sky? A UFO, a blimp? No, it’s a lightweight “flying” display imprinted with your logo, announcing loud and clear that you have something to offer.

No matter what the event, Revolution Wraps has you covered.

Why should you wrap? Compelling statistics about the vehicle wrap industry.

Do you know any form of advertising that delivers 104,958 impressions for only $41.65 per month? You can’t even put an ad in the local newspaper at that amount!

Below are marketing research comparisons done by the OAAA (Outdoor Advertising Association of America) and Driving Revenues, a vehicle-advertising firm in Washington.

Consider the number of impressions made with a $20,000 advertising investment. This would buy:

8.4 million impressions from vehicle wraps in ONLY ONE YEAR!
900,000 listeners reached by radio (10-12 commercials of 30-sec lengths over a 6 week period)
700,000 impressions in one month from billboards
600,000 impressions in two months from 5-7 buses
600,000 households reached in a home-mailing Value Pak type of envelope
20,000 addresses reached with direct mail (such as a single postcard mailer)
Now consider the cost over a vehicle wrap over varying periods of time. Assuming the vehicle graphics wrap cost and average initial investment of $3,000, and kept for a full average lifetime of 6 years, the company can expect a marketing cost of:

$500 per year
$41.65 per month
$9.61 per week
$1.37 per day
Compare the Cost per Thousand (CPM) of different forms of advertising:

In the top 100 television markets, a 30-second, prime-time spot cost $17.78 per CMP
In the top 100 newspaper markets, a one-third page, black and white ad costs $22.95 per CPM
In 23 magazine publications, a 60-second, drive-time ad costs $8.61 per CPM
In the top 100 radio markets, a 60-second, drive-time ad costs $8.61 per CPM

Vehicle Wraps vs Billboards

The cost of a traditional billboard advertising will depend upon the location and the duration of your ad campaign. Typically in Omaha,Ne the cost to advertise on a billboard will run anywhere from $600 to $3,000 a month. That is alot of money for a stationary billboard. Especially when ATA (American Trucking Association  says that 96% of viewers say fleet graphics and vehicle wraps have more of an impact then billboard. One vehicle wrap will cost about the same as one months advertising. Seems like a no brainer when a wrap will last 3-5 years and a billboard will only be up for a month…

Vehicle Wraps vs Television Ads

A 30 second television commercial spot during the 2013 Superbowl sold for about $3.7 million for one 30 second spot. Obviously you can spend less then that on TV commercial but even if you spend $100o a month usually for 12 months on your local TV station. What will your return be for the $12,000 spent over one year. Compare the return on a vehicle wrap that lasts 3-5 years for $3,000 to $4,000. TV can’t compare to the excellent ROI you will get from your vehicle wrap. Just think of the impact if you have a fleet of vehicles. Revolution Wraps has many different options depending on your budget…from full wraps to partial wraps or even simple decals. Vehicle wrap average around 30,000 to 70,000 views a day…if you leave your wrap on for 3 years that only .01 per view? Try comparing that to TV commercials!
