Please get yourself a diary with pen and digital cam!

Take the Nickcard and their booth number

and staple them in your diary with a special mark

how important each supplier into your regards!

so you can be easier to re visit some booth

or renegotiate something with them again with right contact!

 

Do prepare your own biz namecard,

They are good tips to work on trade show, but the problem is after you do all above how can you grab the client after you done all these thing. Mainwhile you are saying how to presenting the goods on the shows, but maintain and tracing the buyer is a difficult operate.

Replying to [jo8chinaetyahoocom]:
really a good topic and detailed suggestion for those exhibitors. Besides, I think to have some interpretors is very useful in those internatiional trade shows.

Quoting from [ChurchillUK]:

What about a list of what NOT to do?

Thanks jo8chinaetyahoocom for the Top 10's ... its really helpful. In response to ChurchillUK, I came across these set of "don'ts" the other day ... I like the Top 10's better, but nonetheless, these serves as good reference! I've summarized the points here:


http://www.micedb.com/index.php?/component/option,com_mojo/Itemid,123/

1. Don’t Over Decorate Your Booth!
2. Don’t Manage a Booth with Only One Representative
3. Don’t Eat at the Booth
4. Don’t Overwhelm Visitors with Redundant Questions!
5. Don’t Just Restrict Your Service to the Booth

Hope this helps!

Very helpful tips.

The tipps are very good but.... For booth inside China. Maybe we should add two very important tipps for chinese companys go abroad for fairs. I have seen 2008 Hamburg. Yiwu companys had a common booth with maybe around 30 companys. Great? No not really the booth have been placed outside of the normal fair. Really no one could find and the frequence was near zero. Wasted time and money. Who told them have a place out of the visitors walking line? LIttle China? Also the booth service seems to be tired all day having lunch and dinner on booth. I could find only one can speak German. From most i had the impression they are afraid to talk to customers. So pity. My tipps would be before you go to a foreign fair check the hall plan. Visit the fair one year before. See where the visitors main line is. Got to get a booth there in the middle of the competitors and second find away to exercise your booth service people for a job in a foreign fair. Best find a trainer from the country you go for the fair. Maybe it can save a lot of money and can make chinese companys more succesful on fairs abroad.

tks

 

thank you for your suggestion
