3 Useful Items that Will Come in Handy When Exhibiting at a Trade Show

Trade shows are a great way to make connections with stakeholders in your industry, possible partners, and both existing and potential new customers. You can also scout your competition and learn about the trends in your field. For many businesses, trade shows are an invaluable part of the yearly marketing strategy. But as anyone who’s ever exhibited knows, it can be hard to stand out and stay organized when presenting at an event like this. Here are three handy items you’ll want when you next exhibit:

(1) A Gift
Always bring gifts to hand out to the visitors at your booth. A big bowl of gourmet chocolates is a good way to go, as are pens and other fun items. Try something that blinks… a blinking pen, maybe!

(2) Hand Sanitizer
You’re going to be shaking a lot of hands…

(3) Extension Cords
Don’t assume the show will provide cords! Bring your own so you know you can keep your devices charged and your electronic presentation going.
