Promo Items for Trade Shows
Sometimes it can be easy to forget how lucky we are to be traveling salespeople. Occasionally we can get a little bit "down" about getting up at 4am to catch an early flight, or that our inside salespeople forgot to replace certain lightbulbs in the trade show booth.
Looking back at my years as a traveling salesperson, both as a distributor and as a supplier in the promotional items industry, the truth is that I'm thankful--- some of the most fun that I've had was when I was traveling around the country working at conventions or trade shows, or even doing presentations at local hotels to distributors that wanted to see my company's new products in person.
When things went right, as they often did thanks to our amazing inside salesperson (hi Jayne) - the times that we had were magical, and the free time after the shows were filled with paintball games and sampling local delicacies that my friends back home could only read about.
Trade shows and conventions are where everyone puts their best foot forward to make new contacts and show how their company is different. It's the one place that you can't hide behind a huge media budget (unless you hire models or something, which sounds cool but defeats the purpose of going somewhere to meet your existing customers), but generally speaking people want to meet the salespeople and business executives that are making things happen on a day to day basis. People can express their concerns to you over past issues, and things can get hashed out right there at the booth table to ensure a smooth relationship for years to come.
It is with great pride that we present ideas for your company to use as promo items for trade shows and conventions that will work for almost any industry. We know that you need a ton of items to hand out, and we can provide expert assistance in finding items that fit within your budget. Promotional keychains are incredibly low cost and easy to ship, and we carry a huge variety. Pens are a top seller every year, and it will ensure that wherever the promo pen ends up, that your potential or existing client will think of you and how they met you at the trade show or convention. Soft flyers with your logo make a fun promo item for trade shows because you can toss them to people as they approach your booth, or toss them into a crowd at your next big presentation.
