Most companies can benefit from going to exhibitions every once in awhile, but if you aren’t a creative person, it can be difficult to make an interesting booth where people will want to stop. Of course, your exhibition gifts make a huge difference as to how many people will be drawn to your booth, so choosing these items, like the exhibition gifts found at YesGifts.co.uk make a big difference in your success. When choosing exhibition gifts, also remember that your goal is “CASH,” and you’ll be sure to pick the best items possible.

• Cost: Of course, the C in CASH stands for cost, a primary item of concern for all businesses. You want an item that is expensive enough to draw people to your site without being so expensive that you’ll lose money by going to the exhibition. A good rule is to use the “5 times” idea. For every dollar you spend going to an exhibition, you should make it that dollar back five times over in sales. Figure out your transportation and table costs, as well as other expenses (like hotel rooms, registration fees, etc), and then determine how much you’re willing to spend on exhibition gifts. Stick to your budget. It doesn’t matter if you talk to more people if you don’t expect most of them to return to your company to do business later. Really expensive items will simply draw in people who want free goodies.

• Amount: One of the business faux pas at an exhibition is running out of exhibition gifts. When planning your budget and choosing what items to buy, make sure that you will have enough for everyone show walks past your booth. If possible, ask event organizers how many people showed up to the exhibition in previous years and how many people they expect to show up this year. You should have one item for every person in general. Although some people will never grab an item at your booth, others will be greedy and take two or three exhibition gifts.

• Style: Your exhibition gift should reflect the style of your business. If you run a party supply company, giving out stuffy business cards and pens is a real drag. Instead, work with your business image. Never order exhibition gifts that can’t be personalized with your company name and logo. At the end of a long day, no one will remember which items can from which booths unless they have a reminder. If possible, use attractive and similar colors and designs on all of your exhibition gifts, as well as in your literature, on business cards, and on your display.

• How it will be used: Finally, consider how you will use your exhibition gift. If you plan to travel to a bunch of exhibitions and simply set items on a table, order plenty, making sure that you don’t date yourself by including a year on the personalization. Will you be handing these items out in the crowd? Something smaller, where you can easily hold many may be the best idea. Consider all aspects of your exhibition gift carefully, and it should be fairly easy to come up with the perfect gift.
