Marketing Trust
I was recently asked, “How do I market my business which is based on the client's trust in me, rather than selling a service?” This is a concern of many service-based companies that do not have a tangible product. These companies have to gain the trust of potential customers first before converting them to paying clients. Trust can’t be faked so the message you are sending must be sincer

That drive to the office seems longer every day; you swear the road has shifted, forcing you to waste time thinking of all the mundane projects you have to finish for a boss who can't remember your name and coworkers who only include you when a birthday's coming up. Maybe, your time could be devoted to another thought: getting out and moving on.Do we have your attention?exhibition to best exhibit at, what goals and targets you should set, how you can best prepare for an exhibition, and what training your staff will need. Below we discuss how you can best use exhibitions as a powerful marketing tool for your business.

Choosing the best exhibition

It may seem obvious that you need to evaluate the best exhibition at which to exhibit, especially considering that it does involve a certain level of cost to market your business this way. Nevertheless, you need to consider the pros and cons of whether to exhibit at a trade exhibition or a consumer exhibition. A trade exhibition will offer you a great chance to build strong contacts within the industry itself, to talk with other business’ you may be able to work with and also a chance to evaluate your competitors who themselves are exhibiting. At a public exhibition on the other hand, you have the chance to start honing in on your customers, to create sales contacts and to network.

Having decided what type of exhibition i.e. trade or public, it is a good idea to then evaluate the statistics for visitor numbers. If the show is held annually, evaluate the number of exhibitors who attend the show; this will give you some indication of the importance of the show. If you can, check to see if the leaders and your competitors exhibit at this show and if they do, are they re-exhibiting. This information will help to indicate the value of the show you are considering exhibiting at, i.e. if your competitors have used this exhibition before and feel that it is again worth attending. Spending time to find out this kind of information may perhaps seem like wasted time but when you consider the costs involved, you will want to ensure you choose the best show/s.

Goals, Targets and Planning

Exhibitions are invaluable as a marketing tool, but they do incur costs and this investment in time and money will be wasted if you do not have clearly set targets and goals. If you are exhibiting at a show for the public for example, you should have clearly defined sales targets. You also need to plan for the exhibition properly and in advance. You will be putting yourself in front of the public and also be making yourself visible to the industry as a whole. For this reason you’ll want to ensure that you create a great impression to everyone who walks by. Do not overlook the small
