Businesses offering both products and services have seen the need to
move closer to their customers as well as letting them more aware into
what they have to offer. In addition to this, the need for aggressive
marketing has been brought about by the business world that is competition.
One innovative way of getting closer to the customer is by marketing
which is always complemented by advertising in the media. The concept
of carrying trade show is equally indispensable and it is one way of getting
direct contact with the customer. Another advantage that comes with trade
shows is the all important need for customer feedback. Customers are able
to let you know what they think and some valuable ideas can come up from
this.
As trade shows are one way of getting closer to clients and customers,
there is need to get something that will keep reminding them of your products
or services. Brochures are a good way to go about it, but their durability
is so short lived, so they don’t meet the need in full. Novices are the
best way to go about it. By getting your customer a company pen, t-shirt,
water bottle, portfolios, mouse pads, bags etc, customers are sure to
keep your company in mind for a very long time.
While giving out novices is a noble idea, more thought should be given
into their design. How about making them attractive, functional as well
as practical? Your company logo should stand out as this is the main purpose
behind the idea. Having company contacts and address on the materials
is a good idea too. Include the company’s website and a brief description
of some of the products available to customers. In regard to functionality
and practicability consider giving mouse pads to an IT company or to the
employees.
Companies in the service industry need not be left out of the idea as
well. They can participate in trade shows by having someone give a demonstration
of some of the services on offer. Free services for simple routines, e.g.
a free dental check up, or eye check up can be done as well. Giveaways
come in handy too. T-shirts, pens, bags etc are good items to give to
customers
Novelties are simple gift items that can go away in helping your business
endear itself to customers in a positive way. They are a representation
of the company’s image and what it stands for. Therefore more thought
should be put behind the idea. Let them be attractive, durable and functional.
Remember it’s easier for a customer to make use of what is available and
the thought goes a long way, not to mention the advertisement they get
to do on your behalf when walking around in your company T-shirt or company’s
pen.
