Trade Shows… Where Social Media Comes Alive

Social Marketing Leads to Real Life Connections at Conferences & Events
Social media is an essential ingredient of internet marketing and is energizing the field to face to face marketing at trade shows and conferences. New media technologies make it easier than ever to create meaningful relationships prior to, during, and after face to face events.
Integrating social media and trade show (face to face) marketing is a business development strategy that will prove invaluable in the coming years. Many people are actively engaged in social marketing techniques and every few weeks new tools emerge to improve upon this process.
The Virtual Trade Show is a new social media tool that is not talked about too often. Virtual Trade Show venues are high tech through and through, combining webcasting, text, video and group chat, blogging, virtual booth space, forums and ample opportunities for brand marketing.
Virtual Trade Shows appeal to the green market because they reduce the massive carbon footprint of all of the travel and freight involved with a traditional show. They appeal to show goers because of the ease of access. Keynote addresses and conference presentations can be viewed live or on demand.
Integrating the social media technologies of Virtual Trade Shows with Live Trade Shows is already taking place, and this will continue as more people make use of these techniques. One thing is for sure, developing meaningful relationships with potential clients is getting easier than ever.

ExPrT- Exhibit Fabricators for Diamond Nexus Labs
Diamond Nexus Labs, the creators of the 2009 Miss USA crown, chose ExPrT to create a fantastic display to showcase the crown at this spring’s Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas. The owner of Diamond Nexus Labs, Gary LaCourt wanted an “upscale” display to feature the crown as well as the flexibility of being able to re-use the display for other events in the future.
The custom display cases were faced with a mahogany laminate and then wrapped with graphics. This allows the flexibility of using the wood-grained cases for a high-end look, or adding new graphic wraps to tie into future marketing campaigns. The ExpoSpaceSaver backwall hybrid display is portable and can be used separately for smaller shows and conferences. The backwall display features an aluminum support structure and graphics that can be changed to update the display.

Green Tips for Event Organizers
Posted by: | CommentsEvent organizers have the ability to determine the context and culture of the event they are planning. Start your marketing efforts using green materials and commit to staying green. Sometimes the best thing we can do is offer less – by offering less, we all consume less.
Green Show Standards
Maintaining green standards for all exhibitors is essential as well as providing resources to make going green easier. Simple things like changing to organic food suppliers, banning plastic water bottles, offering recycling bins throughout the venue, and following up to make sure that the recycling products are properly sorted are minimum expectations. Additional offerings could include alternative energy to power the show.
Live Up to Visitor Expectations
Visitors to green trade shows are possibly some of the most earth-conscious people on the planet. So, greenwashing will be called out, and sustainable exhibiting practices will be respected.
Visitors will look for easy access to recycling, alternative options for food and water, and feel comfortable talking with exhibitors about how they are incorporating green exhibiting practices in their exhibit.
Practice the 3 R’s of Green Events
Rentals, Recycled Products and Re-usable Products are the three R’s of trade show exhibiting. Renting local exhibit structures can help save on high energy freight costs. Look for recycled products for displays. Some things don’t appear to be greener materials. For example, you may be surprised to see how amazing fabric made of recycled plastic can look. Choose quality products that can give you years of use with the ability to recycle components at the end of their use.
Green Event Suppliers
Most professional exhibit companies are savvy to green options by now. Internet groups like the LinkedIn Group “Greener Tradeshows” are a great source for free information. And, of course, ExPrT is on the cutting edge of green event products, give us a call 1-800-544-4492.
