Social media has the potential to turn your upcoming trade show into a “must-see” event and is an invaluable tool for pre-trade show promotion. It’s also an excellent way to update non-attendees about the latest products, events, news, etc. Social media keeps customers and prospects in the loop so they know what your company has to offer.
If you aren’t incorporating social media into your existing pre-show marketing strategy, you are missing a significant opportunity to reach a large audience. Don’t fret if you haven’t established a corporate presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ or YouTube. Start now. Build pages on these sites and work to obtain followers and connections. The easiest way to grow your social network is through consistent engagement. Reach out to others and they will return the favor.
Once established, here are a few pre-show strategies to promote your next trade show event with social media:
Combine social media with traditional pre-trade show promotions
Encourage people to follow your company on Facebook, Twitter, etc. on your blog, direct mailers, emails, press releases, etc. Entice them with special promotions, contests and event news. Share blog posts and create event postings on social media.
Promote trade show events on social media networks
There’s thousands of ways to successfully promote your trade show event on social media. To begin, discuss the trade show on your company blog, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Share some insight and quips about the trade show agenda, speakers, topics and industry trends. Engage your audience by asking questions about what they would like to see and encouraging discussions on the latest industry trends. Tweet regularly about the upcoming show and find out if there is a specific trade show (#) hashtag. Locate potential attendees based on their posts and bios and send them personal invites. Ask your staff and sales team to promote the event on their own networks. Word will get around.
Be Seen
Don’t be afraid to use videos. Why not create and upload a few noteworthy videos for your company’s YouTube channel? Use the trade show name in the video title so it’s easily searchable. Then, share your videos on your website, blog and across all other social media channels.
Everyone loves a contest
Tempt visitors to your trade show booth with giveaways. Urge attendees to follow you on Twitter or “like” you on Facebook for a chance to win a prize at the trade show. It’s wise to give away a few smaller prizes, and then raffle off a more extravagant item (perhaps a new laptop, iPad or tickets to a sporting event). Require participants to visit your trade show display to claim their prize.
Social media is a phenomenal and cost-efficient way to leverage your online presence. Companies who engage others and stay active on social media sites can attract a much larger audience and increase brand awareness without spending a ton of cash. It’s a win-win situation.

In today’s highly competitive consumer marketplaces, effective customer engagement becomes the key differentiator that can separate an organization from the pack and enable it to quickly win market share over domestic and international competitors. Having the capability to quickly respond to marketplace forces and impactful events to deliver performance improvement is critical to immediate and long-term success.
As companies face commoditization of their product and service offerings, they need to find cost-efficient ways to distinguish themselves. The quality of customer/agent interactions in these organizations’ customer contact centers defines to a great extenthow these customer-focused organizations are perceived. Customer feedback, both positive and negative, has significant impact on organizational performance and standing among their peers, who are vying for top brand recognition and market share. Customer satisfaction ratings and consumer loyalty can make or break these companies.
Progressive enterprises are turning to new analytics solutions that can give them strategic advantages. By tying information and insights derived from the analysis of interactions between customers and contact center agents to performance metrics of all staff in the enterprise, companies can respond quicker and more effectively to marketplace issues and trends. A CallCopy white paper Drive Performance with Big Data Analytics, discusses how analytics enable enterprises to drive performance for greater success.

As companies continue to evolve their CRM strategies to attract and maintain customers, the contact center has emerged as an important strategic asset. The agents staffing these centers have a direct impact on customer acquisition and satisfaction. In order to continue providing excellent service, more companies are turning to advanced analytics to ensure that their contact centers are performing at a high level.
In addition, market leaders are using insights from customer interactions to uncover sales, marketing, and operational improvement opportunities that touch every branch of the business. Contact analytics is now being leveraged to provide more than just performance feedback to front line employees; the intelligence mined from customer interactions is driving continuous process improvement throughout the entire organization.
Today, CRM strategies have become much more integrated – companies want to organize, automate, and synchronize sales, marketing, customer service, and technical support. It’s a complicated dance that requires both accurate and timely data. Market leaders have realized that the intelligence mined from customer interactions can not only provide tremendous insight, it can be used to continuously improve processes throughout the entire business. Insights from analytics are now being used to better target audiences for marketing, improve operational efficiency, and increase sales. Customers benefit from more intelligent offers, quicker delivery, and better service. A CallMiner white paper Continuous Process Improvement in the Contact Center and Beyond, discusses these issues and features a case study on how Saveology was able to reduce costs and increase revenue.

Trade show displays possess the strength to make or break your organization. A dull portable display can kick back trade show attendees while an attractive and mesmerizing trade show exhibit display can exponentially increase the number of attendees visiting your booth area. This is a major reason why custom trade show booths have an edge over other displays
Using a custom trade show booth means one has the advantage to design the booth as per the likings of trade show attendees and company branding purposes. Expert designers must be contacted when it comes to designing a custom trade show booth. One should take immense care that the designing company being hired has enough experience in its niche else your next trade show might prove to be a disaster.
Not only the trade show attendees but also the other competing companies setting up their trade show displays in the upcoming trade show must be studied thoroughly. You might consider your custom trade show booth to be the best but there is somebody all set to outshine you. Henceforth, focusing an show attendees an competition can help set your customized display apart from the rest.

If you’re managing a large or distributed workforce, are you asking yourself “what are my people doing all day?” In many cases, the answer is that people aren’t doing what they should. Some workers are performing below, and sometimes substantially below, their potential. Perhaps they don’t know the best way to do the job. Maybe they’re just working to a target and then slacking off once they hit it. To get the most from your employees, you need visibility into what they are doing. But getting visibility is tough, especially when workers are remote, or managers have large teams.
Enkata’s solution provides visibility, and lets you see what kinds of workers you have on your team. Their white paper, 4 Types of Employees That are Costing You Money shows you how you can see what your workforce is doing and how to improve it.
The goal of getting leads might be the same today, but the process is conducted in a very different atmosphere, characterized by interactive displays that are bright and eye-catching. Current trade show trends for 2013 reflect today’s fast paced culture and how people process information using technology.
Wowing The Sound Byte Generation
We live in a world of sound bytes, where people are attracted to products through catchy slogans, compelling graphics, and quick videos. Modern tradeshows play on these trends by depending less on the custom-built displays of the past and more on minimal displays with high-tech lighting and easily changeable banners. Even major exhibitors, whose booth occupies an area equivalent to a city block, count on the “wow” factor to woo visitors.
Engaging Through Interactive Displays
As an exhibitor, you must be friendly and show a willingness to engage, but interactive technology is now what gets people into the booth and promotes conversation. Touchscreen displays allow visitors to the booth to get information about your product and try it out. Many times, visitors come to the booth as a result of social media invitations to view demonstrations, not just endless loops of the company video. Some companies even offer interactive presentations via smartphones, which allows the attendees to play with the application long after the exhibitor has packed up and gone home. Booths might offer exciting games and contests, money blowing machines, and appealing giveaways in return for customers stopping by and giving up their contact information.
Giving Visitors Their Space
Your display might be a conversation starters for some attendees, but just as in a retail store, others are “just looking” and don’t want a salesperson hovering around them. Some exhibitors have created small areas where people can view information uninterrupted and then seek out a booth representative if they had a question. These companies have found that this approach increased the level of engagement with people who were looking for information on their own timetable.
Going Green
Gone are the days when an exhibitor would measure the success of a tradeshow by the amount of literature they distributed, while the attendee measured the value of the tradeshow by the pound collected! Rather than distributing costly brochures, companies are adding QR codes to their displays that attendees can capture on their smartphone or tablet and be directed to a website with the information they want. The approach is greener, costs exhibitors less, and cuts down the amount of literature that overburdened visitors throw away at the trade show exit.
Social Media For Trade Shows
Social media, both modern and green, allows marketers to do pre-show, in-show and post-show trade show marketing with a smaller trail of paper and minimal environmental impact. Your company can set up a page via your social media site that is a living piece of show history, which offers information about the show and your products, offers promotions, and allows for interaction with customers.
Modern trade show displays are more visually appealing and engaging in a way that is comfortable to their tech savvy visitors.
According to Nemertes Research, five key trends are reshaping customer-‐experience management:
Increasing adoption of mobile devices enables engagement with customers and business partners across broad array of devices.
Big Data and speech analytics delivers new and insight into contact center performance and allows companies to improve customer service experience.
Popularity of consumer social services such as Facebook and Twitter are emerging as a new interaction channel for customer engagement providing new ways for buyers to learn and share information
Personalized, multimode self-service enables customers to choose how they interact with their vendors through mobile, web, phone or custom app interfaces
New browser-‐based technologies broaden the ability to deliver rich media interaction to any user on any device without the need for custom software.
Taken together, these trends underscore a need for those responsible for contact centers to proactively prepare for a rapidly changing environment. Do you agree with these top trends?

After U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) introduced the Wireless Tax Fairness Act, which would place a five year moratorium on any new and discriminatory taxes and fees imposed on wireless consumers’ monthly bills, and the companion to H.R. 2309, I said:
“We greatly appreciate the leadership of Senators Wyden and Toomey for sponsoring this bill. It’s unfair for local and state governments to balance their budgets by choosing to levy disproportionally high taxes on wireless users. In fact, in the last year, the average wireless tax rate has increased from 16.3 percent to 17.2 percent even though the average sales tax rate stayed steady at seven percent. On behalf of the more than 300 million wireless users in the U.S., we hope the Senate moves quickly to put a freeze on these discriminatory taxes by passing this bill.”

Time and money are the most important virtues which any organization would love to preserve so as to be prepared for bad economic times. The preference for portable trade show displays during these trying times is obvious, not only do you save time and money with the use of portable booths but you also have additional savings on dryage and labor costs.
Portable trade show booths have two unique features. Firstly they setup and dismantle easily, saving you valuable time on the show floor. Secondly most portable displays are built to be lightweight and can be compacted for shipping purposes. In return saving you money on shipping and dryage costs. In addition most shows will allow you set your portable exhibit yourself as long as it completed within the first half hour.
It is always a better choice to start on a cheaper note if you are new to trade show business and this is when portable trade show booths prove to be most helpful. One famous type of portable trade show booth are pop up displays which take up less space and do a fine job of promoting your products and or services.
