Congrats on your first expo! Exciting, isn't it? So, you want ideas. Tell us a bit more about the expo and I'm sure somebody here will chime in with all sorts of good ideas (we've got some great "idea people" around here)!

For instance:

Is it indoor or outdoor?

What do the organizers supply with the booth? (i.e. does it have electrical hookups, tables, chairs, ???)

What do you have already in terms of a display?

What's the focus of your business: residential real estate sales, commercial real estate sales, lease/rental, property management?

What results are you hoping to achieve? Are you trying to recruit actual leads or is it just to increase general awareness of your business?

Who are the people who will be attending this expo? Other businesspeople in town, the general public, a mix?

What else can you tell us about the expo itself or what kinds of specific ideas you're looking for?

Digital Videos tend to work well for the Real Estate market.

But I'd suggest answering Torka's questions before moving forward with anything, because the answers to those questions will decide the direction of your marketing push.

Videos and scale models do the trick. Impress people with a really professional looking point of sales and displays. Still, a very helpful and accomodating booth representative is the best factor.

Hi Judy,

A bowl of M&M's is a great draw. People will hang around for your message.
