Industry research finds that 80% of exhibitors do little or no targeted marketing of their exhibit for tradeshows.

Tradeshow attendee behaviors have changed dramatically over the last several years and many exhibitors are either unaware of these changes and have not adapted their exhibit marketing practices to align with these changes.

Failure to effectively market your exhibit limits both the quantity and the quality of booth traffic you will experience at the show. This critical exhibiting behavioral oversight can cause your exhibit to feel empty or fill it with a bunch of people who have no real interest in your products or services. Both of these negatively impact exhibit staff attitude and behavior and cause executive management to question the value of your exhibit programme.
