Start Early

We don’t mean just open your booth early. We mean start promoting and advertising to your clients and prospective clients early. Start providing information about your attendance at a trade show at least 2 – 4 weeks prior to the show. This will give you the opportunity to let people know you will be there, what you are offering, and any specials you’ll be running. Clients will then have the chance to plan and attend. Moreover, scheduling social media campaigns and email blasts is a great way to promote yourself too. The team at Easy Consulting are the best people for the job.
