What was true 50 years ago remains true today: nothing happens until something gets sold. And selling begins with effective marketing, but most marketing plans fail for two simple reasons:1. They fail to capture the customers’ attention. As strange as it may seem, the big task is not simply getting your message out to customers. In fact, that doesn’t count for much. You can see the evidence for it everyday and everywhere.Look at your mail, read newspaper or email ads. Most of what passes for getting the message out totally misses the mark.

Unfortunately, misunderstandings or disputes with employees also can lead to some of a company’s biggest and most expensive headaches.Workers are turning to the courts in growing numbers with such claims as wrongful termination, discriminatory treatment, unsafe working conditions, and harassment. Employers, sobered by huge jury awards, are increasingly coughing up thousands of dollars to settle even minor disputes.

ALWAYS have a free draw - give away a good prize - it doesn't have to be expensive. Use the draw entry forms to follow up on with a sales letter, or put on a mailing list for future business. I'm always amazed at the number of business people at trade shows who don't have a draw, and then have no way to follow up with potential customers! Create your draw entry form so that it will provide you with more information than just name and address. Get the standard contact information, but also ask questions specific to your products or service. Something like: "are you planning to buy our type of product in the next six months?" or "have you heard of our product before?" - Things like that will give you a conversation starter when you call them after the show. If you worry about "bothering people" by calling them, you can add the following at the bottom of the entry: “I do not wish to be contacted.” – and be sure to leave a check box next to the sentence. This allows those people who really only entered the draw just to get a prize to be easily weeded out. This way you don’t waste your time isn’t wasted calling them, and you don’t bother people who don’t wish to be called. Most people do NOT check off the box that says “I do not wish to be contacted – so don’t worry that you will not have anyone to call. After the show - call or contact all those people who stopped by your booth, and indicated an interest in one of your products or services. Try to get in touch with them within a week at the most. Keep track of those people who find you through the trade show and later buy from you. Figure out how much your expenses were to be in the show (include booth rental, your time, items for your display, gas to get there, parking, etc.) Now figure out the profit (include expenses for materials and supplies to make your product - don't forge
