Stallholder Tips
Your Preparation – Leading up to the Event
Determine what message you would like to share at your stall. Set an objective.
Possible objectives:
-
- Generate sales leads
- Raising brand awareness
- Launch new product/initiative
- Networking
- Reinforcing company image
- Research/education
- Introducing key/new staff
- Stallholders are allowed to bring guests. Use this opportunity to ‘Showcase‘ your business to your
own clients. - Determine if your message can be communicated in under five minutes. Allow time for your visitor to ask questions
- Determine who will be manning your stand (and who will be visiting the other stands).
- The staff member who is manning the stand needs to be able to engage people for 1 hour, often repeating the same message and potentially to more than one organisation at a time.
- Decide on what marketing collateral you will bring. Example – pop up banner, business cards, laptop or iPad (with own power source) and flyer’s. All of this will need to fit on your dry bar or table.
- Each stall will be provided with a dry bar/drum.
- Make it fun!!
