Managing your trade show exhibit can be time-consuming. It includes making sure the right booth properties arrive on time and show ready. What's more, good trade show exhibit management requires extensive attention to detail and balancing multiple deadlines and stakeholders. If you are worried that details might fall through the cracks, we provide a on-line management cloud-based project & inventory management system, providing our exhibit management clients with 24/7 portal access to exhibit & show material inventory, event details & show service orders. Recently we have received several RFP requests for storage, inventory management, and show services. So I am republishing our Online Management System tour and tutorial. Take a look!

One bad customer service experience can swear you off a product or service forever. But one exceptional experience, on the other hand, can turn you into a lifelong and loyal brand advocate. More than half of U.S. consumers express loyalty by recommending brands to family and friends, and almost half of those consumers stay loyal to those recommended brands. And brand loyalty is important -- because almost half of consumers spend more with brands they're loyal to.
So, how can brands actually earn the loyalty of customers? How can customer service professionals consistently delight and empower customers so they not only keep coming back, but they refer family and friends to become customers, too?

It’s a fact of this rapidly-advancing era we live in: Consistently reinvent, or get run over. We see it happening all the time with major, often decades-old companies who fail to keep up, then soon wither and disappear. Yet in the trade show world, it seems that lesson generally goes unheeded. Sure, a few award-winning shows are seeking to push the limits of what a trade show can be. But for the most part, few are willing to take truly innovative risks, especially when it comes to shaking up the floor plan.

I’ve never been a fan of jargon like lead acquisition, funnel, and pipeline. They make the sales process sound like we’re drilling for oil, not building and strengthening relationships with human beings. Still, whatever we want to call them, these principles are essential. Research has shown a nearly 20% difference in revenue growth between B2B companies with clearly defined sales processes (or pipelines) and those without.
So if we need to talk about these terms, let’s at least make it more fun by comparing the B2B sales pipeline to the auditioning process for a reality talent competition. After all, what has more drama, heartbreak, more characters, tears, and laughs than a reality TV show? Sales. And what better way to sell but in your trade show booth on an exhibit floor!

But it needs time and commitment like any other marketing strategy. Having a Facebook page without having a social and content strategy to use this channel to bring in new customers to your business is worthless. Even worst, it’s a waste of time. It’s like printing flyers and then not distributing them. However, if you see the potential of a marketing channel with a potential reach of over 1.6 billion users, then yes you’ll need a Facebook Page, you’ll need likes, you’ll need a strategy to engage them and convert them into customers.
