Use Your Reach to Help Attract Attendees
Here's what you can do to help build attendance:

  • Encourage your customers to attend. NAPICS is a great venue for building customer relationships. Use your VIP tickets to help attendees defray the cost of attending.
  • Do pre-show marketing. Whether you purchase the NAPICS 2012 attendee list (a great value at just $250) or use your own prospect list, reach out to prospective customers and urge them to see you at the show. There's no more cost-effective way to generate leads and gain new customers than trade shows.
  • Promote the show. If you have trade publication ads scheduled in December, add a "burst" promoting your booth at the show. Add a link to the NAPICS website www.napics.com from your website and any email communications you send to prospects and customers.
