TOP 10 REASONS TO EXHIBIT IN 2007
1. The number one reason buyers come to IWCE is to find NEW PRODUCTS. (Will they find yours?)
2. The second biggest reason buyers come to IWCE is for EDUCATION.
(Educate them at your booth or through an individual company sponsored seminar or your competitor will.)
3. The third reason is to find NEW SUPPLIERS. (Will you be there for them to choose from?)
4. To strengthen relationships with existing customers. (If you're not there to talk to, another company will.)
5. New businesses or new owners begin in this industry every year. (If you aren't there to open an account with them, someone else will.)
6. Up to 40% of attendees did not attend the previous year. (Do you want to rely on what they saw from you 2 year's ago?)
7. One of your competitors is bound to be exhibiting. (Do you really want to leave the door open for them?)
8. It costs 25% less to reach a prospect at the show as compared to a traditional individual sales call in the field and 50% less to close them. (How many sales calls do your reps make in a day?)
9. A certain percentage of your customers are going to make a change this year. (Baltimore provides the prospects to replace them).
10. Window Fashions 10-point plan to make this your best show ever.
(Ask for details!)
