Before participating in the exhibition, businesses need to have a long-term overall marketing strategy, and a tactical (short-term) marketing plan at the exhibition. In order for a trade show to be a powerful marketing tool, the trade show marketing plan and the overall marketing strategy must match.
Specifically, businesses need to clearly define what their goal of participating in the exhibition is? To increase market share from existing customers, to introduce new products or services to existing and new customers, or to introduce new products to new markets?
Develop a promotional program in line with the set goals
Before, during and after the exhibition, activities to promote brands, services and products must be carried out appropriately, this is an important part of marketing. At all three stages, promotional activities must be coordinated with each other.

Sending invitations to current and potential customers according to the available list, is an effective form of attracting customers to the business's booth. Invitation cards must be designed impressively in the direction of emphasizing the benefits when customers visit the exhibition booth.
If businesses use email, they should remind customers once or twice a week before the trade show takes place.

Typically, customers will be interested in learning about something new and will be enthusiastic about learning the latest apps, or anything that saves the customer time and money.

Give meaningful gifts
Gifts are also an incentive for customers to visit the business's fair booth.
