    12 Tips to Expo Success
    Expo Consult

    12 Tips to attract the right clients to your exhibit!

    I exhibited at an Expo last Saturday and took particular note of which vendors and displays were attracting participants and which were not. Some of us had great traffic and others had only a few visitors. Same Expo, same potential audience. So why was there a difference? You might be surprised!

    I coach my holistic business clients to design their Expo displays using my 7 Secrets for Expo Success. After observing exhibitors last Saturday, I decided to expand my list to include an additional 5 tips for a successful Expo experience:

    Tip #8: Go where your ideal clients are. You can have the best display, samples, and attitude, yet if your ideal clients do not surround you, all is for naught. If, for instance, your holistic service provides pain relief and enhanced physical mobility, yet you are exhibiting to teens and young adults, you won't attract many visitors. Switch to an AARP Expo or Alternative Health for Seniors, and you’ll be swamped!

    Tip #9: Set specific goals ahead of time and then plan your display to meet those goals. For me it was (1) attracting 10 potential ideal clients and signing them up for sample coaching sessions, (2) adding 20 new subscribers to this e-zine, and (3) filling all eight 20-minute consult appointments I offered during the Expo. Everything in my display pointed toward those goals, and I met or exceeded all three.

    Tip #10: See what other exhibitors are doing well. Ask them what they do to move their merchandise or entice visitors to sample their services. If it fits, then tweak their ideas to enhance your exhibit.

    Tip #11: Put yourself in the shoes of those who walk by your exhibit. What do they see? Have you clearly identified whom you serve and what benefit you provide? If not, expect the vast majority of visitors to "keep on walking." You’ve given them no reason to stop and talk.

    Tip #12: Set up your space energetically. Fortunately, as holistic entrepreneurs we are pretty good at this. A lovely process for doing this comes from good friends Tom and Katie Hirt of
    Angelic Connections:
    Set up your space energetically as you set up your space physically. On the morning of the expo, visualize participants who would best benefit from your services being drawn to your booth and asking for information or a session. Send out an energetically glowing or vibrating line of attraction that guides people to you, similar to the lights on a movie theater floor that help you navigate the aisle. Extend the line of attraction out of the building to the nearest highways and beyond to attract the best clients to you. Ask the Angels to guide to your booth folks who are good for you and you for them, and then sit back and watch what happens!
