During-expo plans:
In tradeshow times, promotional activities such as live entertaining, hands-on activities, audio-visual programs, unique booth attractions, interactive games, giveaways, and food should be concerned considerably. Initially, visual touch tablet could be used to engage with tradeshow attendees on their own terms. To be more specific, audiences are able to interact with the touch screen and connect to the pre-programmed Bega Cheese content offered like advertising videos, surveys and quizzes or prize entries. Hence, it is a great way of generating your booths if visitors are given all information needed. Furthermore, valuable giveaways are significant ways to have the connection with tradeshows’ guests. For instances, with hourly giveaways, by having an exchange of visited consumer information for raffle tickets, the booth would witness the consumer return when event is near. Thus, there are more opportunities for announcing, introducing company’s products and upcoming actions in tradeshows. In addition, there are surveys indicate that competing games are one of the most successful activities to attract attention. Games benefit humans cognitively socially a lasting effect which encourages them to seek out more of these experience games. It can be simple games such as golf-themes plays or prize wheel, roulette wheel; therefore, it supports keeping audiences at booth space and determining others attention.

Post-expo actions:
it is vital to follow-up after the show to convert leads into sales.
Send a personalized handwritten note, along with a customized company information packet or other appropriate material, to booth visitors within a week following the trade show event. For top leads, add a personal phone call to make a lasting impression and reinforce your commitment to service. In this time of intense texting, email, and messaging through social networking sites, a personal phone call to your valued prospects makes a powerful impact and may help solidify the sale. Warm, personal contact is the consistent thread in every aspect of marketing and trade show promotions
