Business On Moon

When an individual or group of individuals embarks upon any business venture, one of the most important things they have to cultivate is name recognition.Indeed, one can make the best darned cherry apple cobbler on the market today, but if no one knows about it, this fact does the magnificent pie baker very little good.

A trade show is a great place to get your name out there and establish a foothold in your chosen industry.This is an especially beneficial marketing tool if the goods you are trying to market are unique but extremely useful to the buying public.

Thing is, trade shows can draw hundreds of entrepreneurs who are trying to do the same thing as you - obtain interest in their product.

With so much competition in this varied arena, your product can end up getting lost in a sea of business enterprises.You can avoid this however, by taking a few steps towards making your trade show display eye catching and alluring.

Below are five tips you can utilize to make that happen.

1.Giveaways - Think about it.As a consumer what interests you the most?The ability to try something for free of course.To be sure, giving away samples is a great way to bring the buying public to your booth.Prize drawings and contests are also enticing as they give the consumer a promise of something in return for giving a little of their time to your sales pitch.

2.Sweeten the pot - Another thing that people cannot resist is something tasty.With this idea in mind, candy and edibles would be a welcome treat and a reason to stop by your table.If using candy, do not fill your bowl up as consumers will most likely beeline towards your table in an effort not to miss out on your free sweets.If giving away baked goods, only display a few of your wares at a time for the same reason.Be sure to keep a ready supply of the foodstuffs nearby however, for refills when reserves get low.

3.Interact and get involved - Many trade show goers sit behind their exhibit and wait for interested parties to come to them which is a mistake.People like to engage with individuals who are outgoing and fun, which is why major companies pay millions to celebrities with charismatic personas to endorse their products.If being happy go lucky just isn't in your nature, see if you can hire an attractive female model that has PR experience to address the crowd.

4.A dash of color - human beings are visual creatures, and we respond to colorful things far more often than not.This is why to adding dots of color throughout your display is a marvelous way to attract attention.Make sure to do so tastefully, as too much color can end up being confusing and distracting.A vibrant, easy to read banner or a nice, brightly colored tablecloth is a great way to add pop without being overbearing.

5.Presentation boards and visuals prompts -- a wide screen monitor with a power point or slide presentation of a large presentation board can be one way to draw interested crowds towards your table.If at all possible, make the presentation interactive, for example, if utilizing PowerPoint, allow the public access to the mouse so they can move through the presentation at their own speed.If your presentation is stationary, the rule of color would definitely apply.

Above all have fun - people who appear relaxed and happy are most likely to bring interested consumers to their trade show display on a consistent basis.If this is kept up, the business will create the name recognition and appeal that is so essential in helping any new company thrive!

One of the funny things about humans is we all expect other people to communicate in the same way that we do. However, what researchers studying a science called Neuro-Linguistic Programming NLP have found is that people see and make sense of the world differently.

We each have our preferred ways of representing the world in a similar way that we prefer to use either our right or left hand. The four ways of representing the world are:

1. Visual - all the things we can see with our eyes or mentally in our minds eye
2. Auditory - the sounds that we hear or the conversations we have in our head
3. Kinesthetic - the things we can touch and experience such as emotions
4. Olfactory and Gustatory - Smell and taste.

Smell and taste are the least used systems by people and are less under our conscious control, so when we are trying to understand someone we focus mainly on visual, auditory and kinesthetic VAK.

Each person has a dominant or preferred method of communicating - some people are visual, some are auditory and some are kinesthetic. But what does that mean

If you want to build rapport with your customers in order to get them to make a decision to buy your product or service, one of the ways you can do this is through speaking their language. If you speak someones language you boost their trust in you as you are "just like them".

There are many different ways you can determine a persons preferred language. You can listen to their voice tone high tone is generally a visual, a medium an auditory and a lower tone a kinesthetic. You can check out their eye movements visuals eyes tend to go in a certain direction when they are remembering an image which is different to an auditory person.

You can watch how they use their hands as each preference tends to use their hands while they are talking in a certain way this is hilarious at election time when you watch candidates who have been drilled in this process trying to move their hands in ways outside their preferred patterns. You can watch where a person breathes from in their chest - high, mid chest or belly breathing.

The easiest and simplest way you can understand a persons preference is you can listen to the verbs, adverbs and adjectives people use when they speak. Each preference uses certain words in preference to other words.

A visual person will say "Lets look at this issue". An auditory person will say "How does this solution sound to you" and a kinesthetic person will say "How do you feel about this issue"

Here are some other words typical of each type:

Visual words and phrases
Appears
Focus
Hazy idea
Illustrate
Imagine
Minds eye
Perspective
Picture
See eye to eye
Vision

Auditory words and phrases

Clear as a bell
Call on
Discuss
Earful
Hidden messages
Loud and clear
Rings true
Sound
Tuned in
Unheard of

Kinesthetic words and phrases
Active
All washed up
Feel
Firm foundation
Get a handle on
Grasp
Lay your cards on the table
Not following you
Slipped your mind
Solid

Now you have a basic idea of the different languages, go back and look at your marketing and communications materials. If you are like most people you have written your marketing using your preferred communication style. That means you are appealing to people of one type only and missing the other two types preferences.

To say it another way - you are not speaking the language of 2/3 of your customers. To be most effective in your communication you need to speak the language of all of your customers. You need to be clear in your communication each one of your customers otherwise they will feel rejected or not connected to you. If you look closely at this paragraph you will be able to identify all 3 types of preferences touched in the messages.

It is as simple or as hard as ensuring each of your communications covers all of the preferences of your clients.

When you speak your customers language you will achieve more powerful sales results as well as building stronger relationships with your customers. This is a win-win for both your business and your clients.
