Preparing to Exhibit at IBS 2023
The virtual format of the 2023 International Builders’ Show leaves a great opportunity to connect with your current audience and find future customers that may have otherwise not attended. Although you won’t have an in-person booth to show off your business, here are some tips to making this show a virtual success.
- Before the show: Use social platforms and email to give your customers frequent updates and build excitement for a show everyone can attend in the comfort of their home. It’s never too early to start advertising to reach a new audience as well. Boosting your social posts or creating digital ads can be just the ticket to find that virtual audience ready to connect.
- Through the show: Don’t stop giving updates when the show starts! For anyone not in attendance it can provide a peek into what’s going on, plus it’s one of the easiest ways to show off any new products or offerings.
- Partnerships & networking: Connect with other businesses to form cross promotions and shared info both your customers would be excited to learn about. This can be a great way to network with other companies and attendees you might otherwise not meet. And for new customers, remember to give them something to follow up about, like future virtual meetings or useful information you can share.
- Don’t forget the extras: Most trade shows come with free swag and giveaways, and a virtual event can still have these extras. On top of show giveaways, take advantage of the digital platforms to include things like Facebook Live events or virtual seminars that can show off your industry experience.
- Post show marketing: Keep your show presence going strong by sharing event highlights afterwards. These added connections with you audience can be another way to upsell offerings, or get them excited to attend your next show–in person or virtual.
