Nobody works for nothing. That is to say, people work because there’s something in it for them. Financial remuneration, prestige, recognition, pride, a sense of doing the right thing. The preferred rewards for a job well done vary from person to person. But the need to get something for one’s hard work is universal.Great leaders know all about this. They realize that they cannot simply expect their employees to do their best work, day after day, year after year, without some sort of meaningful acknowledgement. Th
Keep Your Marketing Message Concise – Attendees have much ground to cover at trade shows and not a lot of time to accomplish the task. The more directly and concisely your message is communicated through your trade show graphics, the easier it will be for prospects to make a decision to stop at your trade show booth or keep go

The graphic elements of your trade show display are as essential to getting results as the paint on an artist’s canvas. There are many creative directions you can go with this idea, and many of your competitors will default to using the company logo for their graphic because it’s easiest. But this works best when you have firm brand recognition, like Apple Computer or a compelling, attention-grabbing logo like Target Stores, or you have a combination of both, like McDonald’s.
But if you don’t have that concrete brand recognition yet, there are plenty of alternatives to effectively executing the use of your trade show display graphics. Here are some guidelines you should follow to give you the best chance at getting the results you want.
Do:
Think from the Customer’s Perspective – If a prospect knows nothing about your company, what would you first want them to know or understand about you? And how can you communicate that in your trade show display graphics at first glance? Put yourself in the customer’s shoes – most of us know from Marketing 101 that if you don’t get the customer’s attention in a few seconds, you can forget it. So, don’t waste their time – make them feel grateful that they stopped to talk to you.
Have a Clear Goal for the Prospect – Know the result you want from the prospect before you even get started. Do you want the prospect to associate your product with fun, reliability or strength? Or, maybe you want to encourage the prospect to come to your sales staff for more information? Or do you want to go straight for the sale? It’s best to get clear before you even start brainstorming possibilities so that your message will not get buried under other intentions.

In 1996, my brother and sister-in-law decided to retire… leave the Chicago area. They chose to move to the Colorado desert-mountain city where I live.As a banker, I’ve heard so many excuses about why businesses fail. However, during this move, I saw at least a dozen, sound reasons that cause either failure or lost profits.Bob and Lea opened a bank account with a major local bank and wire transferred close to $200,000 from their prior bank. They were given about eight temporary checks. They were told it might tak

I always look forward to the December issue of Entrepreneur magazine. That’s the issue that features the publisher’s annual pick of hot businesses, markets, and trends for smart entrepreneurs – or those who aspire to be. Some of the high tech businesses cited like mobile gaming or online learning tend to require six and seven figure start up costs. This can seem daunting (although not impossible) for the person just venturing into self-employment. So I’ve decided to focus on the mar

Twenty-one years ago I made a choice. At the time it seemed so simple and insignificant. I sat there with three questions as I pondered the “opportunity”: Who would know? Who would care? And the cost – what cost? Little did I know at the time that every, literally every, choice has a consequence. That is a universal law – a spiritual law – that governs us all…just like gravity.Anyone that knew me, at the time, would have said that I was basically an honest and ethical person. I was respected in my community, a c

If you are considering going into business for yourself, it makes absolute sense to be as prepared as possible. Here is a checklist of things you need to consider.1. Living Funds – Unless you are one of the very lucky few, your business will not be profitable from the word go. Remember, it took even mighty Google a couple years to even find funding to make a serious effort at becoming an Internet giant. How much money do you have set aside for living expenses? Six months to a year is a good range if you will be working
Keep Your Marketing Message Concise – Attendees have much ground to cover at trade shows and not a lot of time to accomplish the task. The more directly and concisely your message is communicated through your trade show graphics, the easier it will be for prospects to make a decision to stop at your trade show booth or keep going. The message should not require a lot of effort to understand – keeping it short, simple and to the point is best.
Test It – Run the idea by a handful of people who are not marketing-minded and don’t mind hurting your feelings if they don’t like or agree with your ideas. You don’t need “yes-men,” rather, you need people who will be brutally honest and clearly express when they like or don’t like something, understand or don’t understand it. You need honest, gut-reactions to your trade show graphics. It’s always a good idea to ask for feedback – no matter how informal the testing process – before running with it.
Don’t:
Clutter the Message with Details – Keep in mind that the graphical elements of your trade show display should be designed to get the prospect’s attention. Any specifics that you want to communicate can be effectively done with brochures, postcards and other marketing materials. Too much text that attempts to explain the graphics is futile – and if the graphic makes no sense when you remove the bulk of the text, then you need a new graphic.
Settle for a Concept that Doesn’t Work – If you find yourself struggling too much to make the trade show display graphics work, or you aren’t getting the response you intended when sharing the concept with others, don’t try to force it. Go back to the drawing board rather than wasting your energy to push something that does not work. Prospects will be turned off by such an attempt, and you’ll be driving traffic away from you and toward your competitor’s trade show booth instead.
Trade show display graphics are a crucial element in making your space attractive to prospects. As you plan your presentation for your next trade show, take time with the specific graphical design elements because these are one of the details the prospect will recognize that sepa
