Good morning, mr. Robbins.
Good morning, John. How's it going?
Not too bad. I'm reading some articles about trade fairs. I'd like to ask you some questions. What benefits can I expect? If I exhibit at trade fairs,
You can use trade fairs to promote your products or services.
But can you be more specific?
Certainly, you must know that exhibiting at trade fairs is an effective way to test new markets or launch new products and services. Trade fairs offer you a chance to demonstrate your products or services to customers face to face. This way, you can get feedback and find out what customers want.
I see
trade fairs are also good opportunities for building new businesses, since many potential customers and suppliers are concentrated in one place.
Okay. Thank you. I wonder what's the most important thing to know about? If I want to exhibit at a trade fair
as an exhibitor, choosing the right trade fair is essential. If the trade fair is to specialist or too broad, it's unlikely to attract visitors who want to buy what you sell. And participating in trade fairs can be a waste of time. So you see, when you attend a trade fair, you should make sure what kind of customers you want to reach and what you want to achieve.
Anything else? I should know
one more thing. You should make specific and measurable goals. If you choose your fare carefully and give yourself plenty of time to plan your goals, you'll have a good chance of doing good business.

How are you able to exploit your business opportunities and generate new business?
We made sure that all staff in the booth had prepared themselves for the fair. Each visitor was asked some questions to determine whether they were genuine prospects. When a good prospect turned up, we knew exactly which

key aspect to emphasize, and whether we should focus on innovation, quality, or price. Our samples were on hand to illustrate the products capabilities, and that helped engage people's interests.
