A client or customer needs to know who you are, what you’re offering, and why they need it. Make it clear to them what your specialties are. For optimum booth location, pick your space in advance from the floor plans we send you, & email us your choices. 2. Actively market yourself before, during, & after the event. For example:
3. Dress in the spirit of the event. We recommend dressing in a manner appropriate to your field of expertise, tradition, ethnicity, or in some other authentic or colorful way that will make you stand out, or attract attention to yourself. If you would like help designing or making a special outfit, we can recommend someone to help you. 4. Show up consistently & on time for events that you are registered for. It is easier to change your mind about booth location if you are there early during set-up. Give yourself time after set-up to get grounded, clear, & focused. If you are not going to make it due to illness, car trouble, etc, call with plenty of notice. [If you can’t arrive by show start call us or we will assume you are not coming, & your space may be given to someone on the waiting list.(edited from site)] 5. Know what you want to accomplish. It’s a good idea to have one major objective that supports your overall goals. A massage therapist might have a goal of doing 10-15 sessions at the show & establishing 3-5 new regular clients for private sessions at their office. An MLM booth might plan to get 100 leads & turn 25% of them into sales. A goal helps to energize you & focus your activities before, during, & after the show. 6. Be a good neighbor. You are in close quarters with many people whose prerequisites for doing their work, & whose environmental allergies or emotional sensitivities may conflict with your activities.
7. Optimize your Attitude. Take some time after your set-up is complete to lift your spirits in whatever way works for you. It is a well-known principle of sales that when you are promoting a product or service, what you are actually selling is your own state of consciousness. If a cloud of negativity hangs over your booth, customers will avoid you like the plague. A psychic reader or healer who is depressed or lethargic is likely to bring their client down to their level. On the other hand, inspiration, enthusiasm & positive thinking are contagious. If you are feeling ecstatic, you are magnetically attracting others to you who would like their own vibration raised to a higher level. 8. Respect boundaries. During set-up, utilize no more than the width of the space you registered for. In general, the floor plan is designed according to the exact dimensions of the room. If you set up an 8' x 8' display in a 6' x 8' space, you may be forcing your neighbor to confine themselves to a 4' x 8' space. Stay within your own booth area when marketing your product or service. Don’t approach or distract fairgoers who are at another booth & may be on the verge of buying something or getting a reading. Most exhibitors consider it disrespectful to wander the hall passing out literature & prefer that you don’t do it in front of their booth. Use the literature table near the entrance to the hall to place your flyers, business cards, etc. 9. Be available at your booth during public hours. Excessive talking on cell phones, socializing, & leaving your booth makes it difficult for you to connect with potential clients. Unless you’re wearing name tags, 2 people in a practitioner booth sends the message that you’re not available. Don’t leave early unless it’s an emergency, & never without making arrangements with the staff. When exhibitors start tearing down their booths, the public perceives that the event is over, and they start leaving as well. 10. Evaluate your results. Continuously evaluate & work on improving your skills, your attitude, your visual presentation, & the marketing of your booth. If you notice others being more successful than you, pay attention to what they are doing that you aren’t. If you want outside feedback, ask your neighbors or the event staff for suggestions. |
