Use Technology to make your Publishing Trade Show a Great Success

Publishing industry trade shows are rising as popular means of building a strong customer base. It is a platform to showcase your products and to give an opportunity to the potential customers to connect to your network. It may involve digital printing, 3D printing, screen printing, etc. Technology, these days, has far reaching effects on the success of the printing trade fairs.

Printing Trade Fairs

Listed below are a few ways in which you can use technology to attract customers to your booth:

1. Use Slideshows to demonstrate actual work:
While the customers can always understand what you tell them verbally about your products and services, an actual work going on the screen just behind your counter will be an added advantage. Use large fonts on the slides to highlight important messages or information you want to share with the potential customers.

2. Connect the visitors with your experts team via online media:
In case your customers want expert opinion about certain kinds of products, connect them to your expert team sitting elsewhere via online medium. This generates confidence among the customer regarding the quality of your product as well as the commitment of your team. In printing trade fairs, this is even more important as a prospective client might want to know even the minutest details.

3. Use Tablets to capture instant information and photographs:
Instead of wasting your time in writing down the information and details of the visitors, you can instantly feed the data in your system using a tablet or smart phone in the publishing trade shows. Take the picture of the visitor along with his details. This way you will have all the related information about potential clients at one place and you would not have to be lost in a bunch of business cards.

4. Use interactive maps to navigate customers to your booth:
In humongous publishing industry trade shows, there are so many booths hosting different types of publishing products and services. In this case, some customers may never reach your counter even if they were interested in the product you showcase. Interactive maps at all corners of the fair site will help them navigate to your booth in no time. Also, customers find it way more fascinating to be led to the destination via a technological medium than being lost in the map booklet.

How to Host a Successful Packaging and Paper Trade Shows

Packaging material trade shows play a significant role in promoting your packaging product. While planning and preparing for hosting of a paper industry trade fair, one should keep in mind that the sole purpose of a trade fair is not just promoting the product, but to establish a thriving relationship with a wider customer segment and getting some valuable feedback. To stand out among other competitors you need to focus on the initial planning stage of hosting a packaging trade show.

 Packaging Trade Fairs

Here is how you can make your paper trade shows a success:

1. Showcase your innovative creations

Along with the older paper industry stuff, try to showcase your new and innovative creations in the Packaging Trade Shows. Potential customers tend to be more interested in getting to know about a fresh item. Though you should not go featuring an entire gamut of new products, putting some such items together with the previous bunch attracts customer attention.

2. Ensure good quality of display

The way your things are displayed at the paper industry trade fairs is very important. Try to use separate blocks for separate stuff. A good lighting will make your booth the center of attraction. Use a neat and organized layout to showcase your products. Customers are likely to be attracted to the booths that look properly organized and well lit.

3. Answer all their queries

Restricting the customers from touching your displayed models pushes them away. Keep trial packaging material and let them check them in detail. Answer all their questions in detail and while doing so concentrate on the important features and advantages of your products. Also, keep the counter tidy and properly categorize the stuff so that it̢۪s easier for the customers to pay attention.

4. Make good use of the term Free

A booth having a FREE signboard on top of it attracts much attention. Hence try to make good use of it. Give away free items to individuals for testing. However, you need to be careful while deciding which items you are going to give for free. It should contain the name of your company, email ID and other contact details for the convenience of a potential customer.
