BellaDeb,
Thanks for the great information. I made a copy to have available when I do my next trade show as a reminder of the important things that will help me to stay focused on the reason of why I'm there. Showing people your interest in your products or services will help them become more interested. Again thanks for the reminders and a checklist for me to use in the future.

Adding onto #3 from BellaDeb's Trade Show Tips - Bring the �essentials�.

Giveaways with your contact information is important but if there is anything you can give away that is practical, helpful, and/or useful, that tends to be a more effective marketing tool. For instance at a service sellers show I did once, I gave away a kids daily planner (I'm an organizer). I ended up getting some clients who later came across their kid's planner and found my contact information inside!

Here's another idea just to help get your creative ideas going. Last month I attended a concert with my kids and a radio station was giving away CD openers. (Small plastic items which quickly yet safely slit the strong white packaging strip on a new CD). Sounds silly, but we actually use it and guess what? We've tried the radio station too!

Clever ideas for giveaways can be effective. Try to think of something different and that people will actually use.

Hope that helps!


All the best,
Erin

Hi Erin!
I enjoyed your site and went away from it with many great ideas. I am not the most organized person in the world but since starting my own business I've been working on it and your site really has given me good direction in getting organized and maintaining it. Thank you!

Hey thanks for visiting my site, Rosie! I know what you mean about starting your own business and needing to be organized. It's more challenging than people think!

I wish you all the best with your new business and if there is anything organization-wise I can help with, don't hesitate to contact me.


All the best,
