Frequently asked questions

What's the highest-ROI pre-show tactic?

Named-account meeting booking — emailing target accounts 4–6 weeks out with a specific demo offer and a 20-minute booth-meeting calendar link. Consistently outperforms paid show ads.

How do I drive traffic to my booth?

A clear value prop on the back wall (readable from 30 ft), one anchor demo, scheduled mini-sessions, and presence in the show's mobile app and email blasts. Branded swag alone doesn't qualify leads.

What does a good post-show nurture look like?

Same-week handwritten note or LinkedIn to A-tier leads, week-2 personalized email with demo link, week-4 case study, week-8 meeting ask. Most pipeline closes between weeks 6–14.
