Tradeshow Tips for the Savvy Exhibitor

By Susan Friedmann

A Formula for Realistic Goal-setting

In my business, there are a few questions that come up time and time again.  I’d like to take a few minutes this week to talk about one of the most common: How many leads can an organization reasonably expect to gather at a show?

 

This is a great question!  When you’re setting goals and objectives for a show, you want to make sure that the goals are both realistic and obtainable.  There’s no sense telling your team to gather 1,000 leads when that’s not even close to being possible.

 


There’s a formula you can use... Click for more.

Please let me introduce myself as your State Supplier Director for TNLA. Some of you I have had the pleasure of meeting and several of you I have not and will look forward to that opportunity, hopefully in the near future. I have been involved with TAN / TNLA for 20 years and have served in several positions on a regional level including region president and now at the state level as supplier director thanks to your support. My business background is wholesale distribution & purchasing, retail sales and marketing. With over 35 years experience in these areas, I am still learning something new every day. I attribute that to sharing ideas with people in and out of our industry.

 

As suppliers we must meet the everyday challenge of our customer and members. It is our job to make sure they are aware of the newest products on the market and there uses. In addition to products we have to help them market their business and offer assistance when the opportunities arises. At the Nursery/Landscape EXPO we have the chance to meet the growers along with hardline manufacturers. It is priceless. This was my 20th year to attend EXPO and still I came away with something new this year.

 

 

Sincerely
