How can you use Trade Shows to boost your creativity?

One of my personal favorite things to do is to check out other booths at trade shows. I love to see their booth set up, their collateral, swag and learn more about their experience. A majority of the experiential booths I’ve put together in my career are a combination of experiences/ideas I have seen at previous shows. It’s important to immerse ourselves in creative spaces to keep creativity flowing and conferences are a great space for that. Meeting other exhibitors can also lead to so many unique partnership opportunities in the future. For example, walking around the show floor has lead to so many partnerships in my career. Get to know the other people at the show and see what you can come up together to achieve a shared goal!

One of the reasons that I love trade shows is that you are given a box and a set of rules, and you can pretty much do anything within that box. It is so tempting to do the same old thing as every other exhibitor, but you always remember the ones that threw out the mold and did something really different and memorable. I love the different examples of this that Exhibitor Magazine showcases. You can get great ideas from different industries, different countries....it's so exciting!

The unique beauty of exhibiting at a trade show is the exhibitor's ability to conduct primary research in their exhibit on the show floor. The sampling of attendee's opinions and feelings about critical marketing, sales, management, product, service and future product development issues are readily available, one just has to ask, note and analyze answers provided to begin the process of improving, modifying and or creating new policies and procedures seen as needed by prospects attending the trade show.

Even on your way to and from shows the above applies.When I have been to big shows.I have sat next to people on planes going to the same event.It’s got me meetings.Also once on my way home from NAB Vegas I got delayed.Got chatting to a guy i recognised at a show.He got me in the VIP lounge,and being pregnant and delayed that was a much needed benefit.Still pals to this day ??

So, ditch the sales pitch and embrace the human connection: trade shows are fertile ground for planting creativity and watching it blossom into your next big thing.

Finding new ways to demonstrate or show a product is one of my favorite parts of trade shows. I would always take away samples or photos of ways I could improve how I showed products or even displayed them in my dealer showrooms once I got back home. You can also learn a lot by watching others. It's great opportunity to adjust your pitch or see how your peers sell.

Creativity needs to show case,showcase to the people eyes, any product or creativity catching by people eyes that's our most valuable assets, so we need to create things or atmosphere with creative way so product creativity shall spark, bring sparkle in trade shows no need add or public figure, if creativity is in work and atmosphere it'll speak automatically I prefer to use idea which is out of the box

An exhibitor's presentation on the trade show floor offers the diverse audience in attendance with a snapshot of the exhibitor's culture, brand quality, people quality and overall image all wrapped up that create first time lasting impressions and opinions of that organization's quality, commitment and pedigree. What's more critical, is that just a few feet away the competition is ready willing and able to go toe to toe with everything you stand for in hopes of beating you for new and old business. You Hardley get a second chance to make a first good impression. At you nest trade show, stand back away from your exhibit and watch how it and your people function, then go watch your competition and decide who you might rather do business with.
