Co-Marketing Nick Craig Waller Marketing Director
Introduction How would you react if we decided to raise the price for stand space by 750%? Extensive research Exhibitors that invite their own prospects to their stand before an event on average meet 3x more new prospects at the event than the exhibitors that do not These same exhibitors convert 2.5x more meetings at their stand into follow up appointments after the exhibition

I do not invite my clients and prospects, they might go to my competitor Who here does not know your competitor s top five clients? Can you name one client that does not know your competitors? Do you think your competitor knows your top five clients? Theodore Roosevelt In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
The Pledge Made the decision or thinking about exhibiting at Ipex Secret of success is inviting prospects and customers As organisers we encourage all of our global visitor network to register in advance Award winning (2008) Case Study from another IIR show
