Corporations often need to exhibit at simultaneous trade shows in different localities and for different reasons. They may even have two trade show exhibits in the same city at the same time. Going one step further, a company may even have two separate trade show exhibits at the same trade show. Flower suppliers are an example of a companies exhibiting at two trade shows. Why does this happen?
Quite simply, each trade show appearance has a different objective. One trade show exhibit concentrate on new lead generation, while the other trade show display’s focus on new product launches. Even though these trade shows differ, message needed should be consistent in presenting their corporate brand. Trade show visitors may have a different agenda for attending each trade show, but the corporate message must remain consistent and easily identified with the corporate DNA.
Every aspect of trade show exhibit presence also must match up with company promotional materials, advertising, public relations, online marketing, website and direct mail. Companies lose identity when they dilute their image with mixed messages. Marketing pros say the golden rule is to stay true to your corporate message, reinforce the brand, and let everything else follow suit.
