In our first article we discussed the importance of preparing a strategy for your trade show visit. Coming to the trade show prepared with goals and specific questions in mind, your work will be halfway done already. However, you still must be able to implement and execute on your strategy.

Now we’ll focus on the best way to put your preparation to use. With attention to a few guidelines, even the most challenging conversation will soon seem like a breeze.

First you need to make sure you cover the basics. No matter how well you present yourself, if at the end of the day no one remembers your name or worse yet the name of your business you’ll have missed out on innumerable possibilities. Make sure your name tag is correct and able to be seen at all times. Many trade show attendees may forget they’re wearing a name tag and inadvertently cover it up by putting on a jacket.

Your name tag is not just your visual business card, it is also a conversational aid.

While you may feel completely at ease meeting new people and remembering their names, not everyone has such a talent. For people who are not good at remembering names being able to glance at a name tag can be comforting. Some people may only be able to feel truly conversational after overcoming the panic of forgetting someone’s name.

Using Business Card Scanners Alongside Your Trade Show Booths

A business card scanner is the ideal way to keep track of contacts you meet at your trade show exhibits. A business card scanner can instantly import new cards directly into your Microsoft Outlook’s email contacts. Scanners are typically very small and can be easily held in one hand. It only takes a couple of seconds to scan the card and most models don’t require a power source to work.

If you do use a business card scanner, it would also be a good idea to have a small notebook handy so you can also jot down quick notes. This can help you remember which potential customers were most likely to make a purchase quickly and other useful details.

Indeed, those who want handmade bags just want something to show off and do not really get concerned if the person who made it was paid well or not. Sustainable products too are sometimes only brought in from third world countries but no one knows how the product was made in this instance either.

Because of the way in which goods are sourced, it is often the middle man or the company bringing in the goods which make the most money out of a product. Little goes to the artisans who produce the goods but because they have no voice, they are often side tracked in the ensuing melee.
