One aspect I really love about my job is that I attend trade shows and other tabling opportunities where I can advertise what I sell. I get to order promotional products to give away with our company name and logo on them. It’s easy now that you can go online and place an order and much quicker than it used to be to receive the items. One item I have found that I really like are key tags with logo. There are also promotional bags and luggage tags and sunglasses. I have found that people just love picking up a small give away when they visit your table and they take something home with your company name on it!
I enjoy meeting and talking with people at these trade shows and events. I hope that when they look at the gift they’ve received when they get back to work or home they will remember me and what I told them about my company and what I sell. Hopefully, I’ll make some friends and customers at these events.
It can often be long hours and much standing at these trade shows. It is best to have someone with you so that you do not leave your booth unattended for breaks. It is best to stand outside your table area so you are in front to speak with people. It’s necessary to wear comfortable shoes. You can sometimes tire of giving your short elevator speech but after awhile it will be easier for you to deliver. All in all, trade shows can be fun and are a great way to get your company name and product out there.
