Save some green at your next trade show!

To save some green at your next trade show take a gander at the attached article. It references some tips for those attending. Below are a few to glean:

1- Book far in advance: People who do not travel on business a lot may be surprised at just how much you can save by booking their travel a few months ahead. If I wanted to fly from San Francisco to Dallas tomorrow, I would have to pay about $800. If I want to fly three months from now, the fee is about $300. Check sites like Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity. Great packaged deals, especially in advance, are the norm.


2- Check hotel options: Usually, trade show organizers will reserve discount rooms for attendees, so check and see if this is the case for your show. Yet, very often (depending upon the size of the show of course) the hotel of choice will be connected to the convention center where the tradeshow is being held, so even with a discount, this may still be an expensive choice. Instead, look for smaller hotels a few blocks away. Staying at these venues can save you a bundle, while still being convenient enough to get to the show fairly easily.

3- Start networking prior to the show date: The biggest mistake you can make is waiting until you're at the show to begin networking. Instead, email three people you want to meet in advance, saying, 'I'm really looking forward to hearing your comments

4- Show your badge: Always wear your nametag high on your lapel, on the right side. Nametags make it easy for people to talk to you. Use a well-placed tag to put people at ease.
