When it comes to trade shows, is your company making
“expensive appearances” or “profitable and productive investments?”

Consider these shocking exhibition industry facts:

  • The average company allocates 31.2 percent of their marketing budget to trade shows.
  • 98 percent of college degreed marketing professionals did not receive one single hour of exhibit marketing education.
  • 76 percent of exhibitors set no specific objectives for trade shows.
  • 80 percent of exhibitors do little or no targeted pre-show marketing.
  • 76 percent of sales people views tradeshow leads as “cold” calls.
  • 87 percent of trade show leads captured are never effectively followed up on.
  • 86 percent of exhibitors have no organized form of post-show measurement.

If your organization can relate to any one or more of these industry facts, then chances are your company is making “expensive appearances.”  Want desktop access to the perspectives and best practices for beginning your conversion?  Then, mark your calendar now for…
