John Drigalla – Three Ways to Bring in Customers at Tradeshows

Train the sales staff specifically for tradeshows. Selling products on the floor of a large convention is much different than cold-calling or other ways. To convert interactions into paying customers, all sales staff has to know how to interact with customers in this large setting and get to “yes.”

Give away food. Food is a surefire way to attract large volumes of customers to a display booth. In addition to vibrant, custom display signs and graphics supplied by John Drigalla, freebies are great ways to attract attention and everyone loves free food.

Stand out from your display. It’s a good idea to wear clothing that matches the brand logo and marketing materials, but if your display supplied by John Drigalla also matches these logos and marketing materials, it could make the sales team blend into the display entirely. The sales team has to stand out and engage with as many customers as possible.

John Richard Drigalla has attempted to create display materials and products that clients can use effectively at tradeshows. The products he sells match his clients’ goals at tradeshows and their methods of attracting customers.
