As many trade professionals will appreciate there is a lot of jargon, acronyms, and "consultant speak" in the international trade promotion industry. Here is one that I absolutely love: "TIPO". Lots of talk about "accessing global supply chains", "leveraging market insights", "understanding business etiquette" and of course everyone needs a "market-entry strategy". At our Connect 2024 International Lounge, you will meet real people with real stories and experience, who don't talk like that; and who have travelled a really, I mean a really, long way (well some longer than others - sorry New Zealand Trade and Enterprise) to meet our Indigenous businesses and trade show participants. They want to meet you and have a yarn. Please don't let them down.

Finally, let’s talk about the main point – efficiency. You are always having to evaluate the efficiency of your visit or participation. And never trust the marketing people who are trying to explain to you that the trade fair process is the result already. Of course, it depends on the goals you were setting before for this action. So, you have to start the analytic process before you participate in the trade show. 1.   Analyze the efficiency of previous fairs a.    Cost per contact b.   Cost per lead; c.    Cost per sale; d.   ROI and so on. 2.   Set trade fair marketing goals based on previous experience: amount of contacts, leads, deals; cost per contact, lead, deal) 3.   Agree the KPI-s and measurements for every team member on the fair/booth After the trade fair, you have to evaluate: -       % of visitors in our booth -       Amount of contacts -       Cost per contact -       Cost per lead -       Cost per purchase -       Did the company over/underspend? -       Did they win because of the export consultant? If you are not satisfied with your results – go through a small list of main mistakes and try to analyze and fix the problem for the next fair. 1. Unclear goals 2. The target group was not visiting 3. Bad location 4. Inefficient booth 5. Passive staff 6. The company is not working with the contacts after the fair 7. Ignoring competitors 8. Company not recognized 9. Weak administration 10. Bad conditions for staff 11. Bad budget management We hope now you know more tricks and are ready to participate in the Business Olympic Games – Trade Show.
