In case you want to become a participant of the exhibition:
You need to consider a number of aspects that can make your participation in an exhibition effective, especially if your organization is doing it for the first time.
Please select the exhibition first, which you want to take part in and ask the organizer to provide you with the statistics for the last show - it will help you to clear up some positions, such as the number of visitors, number of participants, etc. To clarify how useful it could be for you.
Carefully read the conditions of the participation. Pay special attention to the various technical aspects. Remember that a lack of thoughtfulness (ie lack of chairs or electrical outlets) can lead to serious disruptions during the exhibition.
During the preparation for the exhibition must be clearly understood that participation in the exhibition should be recouped through the agreements that could be concluded by your organization, not by selling pieces of any goods from the stand.
Pay due attention to the printed materials to be presented at your booth (business cards, brochures, flyers, etc.). All of this should be done at a high level printing, differ thoughtful presentation and readability. Scarce black-and-white promotional materials are capable of spoiling the view of you as a potential partner.
Recently, exhibitors offer visitors such promotional and informational materials as computer disks with information about the company, product, pricing, etc. Therefore it is desirable to prepare in advance these discs and burn the right amount of them.
You can prepare the presentation materials on the computer to show them on the stand during the exhibition. This would also be desirable to establish the stand one or more high-quality wide-screen displays.
Do not forget to prepare the German version of your web site. Note that the potential German partners after a conversation with you will most likely visit your web site to get more information about your organization.
People who work at the stand must be specially trained and instructed in accordance to the special characteristics of this particular exhibition. Each member of the team who is working on the stand, should know at least one foreign language (German or English).
The team that works at the exhibition, should have at least one special translator, who should be familiar with deep industrial (special) terminology (German or English), which exhibition is devoted to. It is inadmissible when the leader of the stand and potential German partners who visited the stand, have no possibility to specify technical or economic aspects because of the language barrier.
Samples not only should be represented on the stand but also occasionally accompanied by demonstration and comments of the experts. Statically standing samples with no specialists who could characterize them, can just stay out of the attention of potential partners. Sometimes it is desirable to supplement show pieces information boards with photos and descriptions in German.
Many German companies during the exhibitions are drawing prizes, lotteries or different similar mass events for visitors of their stand. That is not necessarily, however in case if your products are designed for the mass market, local advertising campaign during the exhibition sometimes extends the range of people familiar with your products, and attracts attention.
Consider possible ways to attract more visitors to your stand: it may be booklets distribution to visitors at the entrance or inside the exhibition hall or additional advertising panels, and others advertisements which do not contradict the rules of the exhibition.
Remember that booth is representation of your organization. The visitor should distinguish the design of corporate identity, visual and informative exposition, friendly and competent staff.
