Last week I had the opportunity to join other #GTM leaders in Manhattan to chat through any challenges we were facing. This group had Sales Leaders of 500 person companies, multi-exit founders, and leaders who are newer to the stage. One thing that struck me is we all agreed on one thing! We HATE conference booths and think they are a waste of time and money. The reason? You spend WAY too much money on a booth, and unless you have a wall of large brand customers, you aren't going to attract the people you want to your booth. This doesn't mean we hated ATTENDING conferences. Some of the best marketing I have EVER seen has been people attaching themselves to conferences, handing out mixtapes, taping a sign to their backpack, and more! One piece of advice someone shared is that you can simply rent a suite (maybe from the Offsite curated marketplace) and invite you ideal clients to the booth for a happy hour, dinner, private snack, or just a place to rest. That will lead to a higher ROI than the booth. Or host a Karaoke night like Offsite did after SaaStr last year! Moral of the story, creating meaningful experiences that lead to relationship building always wins the day. Want to join a get together this week? Offsite is hosting a happy hour in Manhattan THIS WEEK in partnership with Clara Ma and Ask a Chief of Staff. Link in the comments. What examples of incredible conference marketing you've seen? Also shoutout to Loyee.ai for the invite last week.
