How To Incorporate Social Media Into Your Trade Show
One way to enhance your trade show game is to incorporate social media into your plan! But, if you’re just starting out or if you’re unfamiliar with how to effectively use social media that can seem overwhelming. That’s why this week, we’re breaking down the best ways to incorporate social media into your trade show from start to finish!
Incorporate Social Media Before The Event
Firstly, you should be consistently utilizing social media before the event. Combining social media ads along with your usual marketing plan will help you to reach a wider audience. And you don’t have to stop at simple awareness ads. Posting about a crazy, cool offer a week or two before will get people interested in you and keep your brand fresh in their heads.
What To Do While You’re There
Next, you should be utilizing social media during the event. Always remember that with social media, consistency is key! Posting and updating live during your trade show keeps people in the know. This will help raise awareness about your booth and giveaways. It will also get your information out there to people who weren’t able to make it.
Have fun with it and engage with your visitors! Have a custom geo-filter on Snapchat, which you can buy for a small area and get people to post on a snap map or local snap story, which everyone can see. A great idea is to make it a contest or game somehow about getting people to take a pic of something with the filter and win a prize!
What To Do After
Then afterward, all ways do follow up! Retarget ads with a limited offer (X% off if you book/buy in the next two weeks, the more you buy, the better the deal is, etc.). That combined with a good performance at the show will get people to stick with you and your brand. Get creative and have fun, and your visitors will remember your booth.

Make Your Visitors Feel Special!
To your visitors, trade shows can seem like seas of endless tables and booths. And you are right in the middle of that mix, trying to get their attention. Whether you are a veteran in the tradeshow world or just starting out, the hardest part is always: How do I make my booth stand out and stick in my visitor’s minds?
Make Your Visitors Feel Special
The key to making a lasting impression on your visitors is to make them feel special. Our resident trade show expert, Eric Wenning, has a foolproof method to get people not only invested in your booth but to keep them coming back: VIP Lanyards!
At his booth, Eric often gave out a “VIP Lanyard” to visitors who stopped and talked at his booth. Then at the end of the day, he randomly picked someone who still wore it to feature in a small clip and gave them a prize!
This technique has many different benefits. First of all, it makes your guests feel special and welcomed by your organization with a unique gift and incentive to wear the lanyard all day. Also, it’s free marketing! You will catch the eye of other guests who have not seen your booth. The exclusivity of the badges will make them want to find out where everyone is getting them.
It also will slightly intimidate the competition, since guests go to their booths already wearing your branded merch. Not many other businesses do lanyards like this. So, it’s a great way to set yourself apart from the crowd.
Layer On The Prizes
Once your visitors return to your booth, it’s time to layer on the prizes! This is a perfect opportunity to have some fun with your branded items. Maybe you give your branded pen out to everyone who stops by but only those who come back with their VIP passes can get one of your more special branded items. Or if you really want to stand out, do what Eric did and hand out Amazon gift cards.
Whatever you choose, just make sure you stand out at your next trade show and leave a great first impression!

Attention Grabbing Trade Show Tips
Attention Grabbing Trade Show Tips
After a year of being out of commission, trade shows are back and better than ever! But a year off has made all of us a little rusty in terms of our trade show tricks. It’s hard enough getting back to regular social functions, let alone selling and pitching yourself and your brand to strangers. Have no fear! The experts at Wenning Branding are here to help with tips and tricks on how to break the ice with potential clients and hold their attention to get them interested in your brand.
Break The Ice in a Creative Way!
The number one tool that you should be sharpening before you get to your trade show is your opener. This is the beginning of the crucial first impression. So, make it memorable!
For example, our leading expert on trade show tactics, Eric Wenning, has a signature opener for new clients. He would hand prospects a pamphlet and say: “Can you throw this out for me?” This funny one-liner caught their attention and made them feel comfortable enough to approach your booth.
Turn Your Brochure Into a Game!
Once you get people to your booth, you obviously want to keep them there. Try living up your materials! For example: turn your brochure into a game! With every booth handing out their own pamphlets, people are loaded up with so much stuff that they don’t even look at all of it. By putting a game on your brochure, people will be interested in your content and others will flock to see the fun booth with the game. It’s a great way to get people to look closely at your content in a memorable way.
Keep your mind on being creative. Get unique with your opening lines and your brochure. Tailor them to your specific company or brand and have fun with it! The more fun you’re having the more fun your potential clients will have. So get creative!

New Customizable Water Bottles!
Tailor Your Branding To Your Business
When creating marketing and branding plans for your business, you have to tailor your advertising to your specific company and audience. For example, if you’re a gym, odds are that a branded coaster probably won’t be the best investment to grow your business. Always consider what your consumer would use often and how it fits in with your brand. That’s why this week we are introducing these uniquely designed iconic sport water bottles by Elemental.
Water Bottles in The Gym
Gyms are the perfect place to feature these new branded water bottles! Encourage healthy habits with your patrons and market yourself at the same time. With a variety of colors and patterns, customizing these water bottles is a breeze. This water bottle can feature your business name or logo in bold and vibrant printing along its body. This will help your brand to make a clear statement.
Water Bottles in Everyday Life
These water bottles are perfect for the gym and everyday life. Your patrons are active people. That is not just exclusive to the gym. They hike and bike and do other outdoor activities that require lots of water. Refresh your workout instantly without interruption with just one hand. The convenient side strap makes it easy to keep hydrated during any activity!
It is essential that you always consider what your consumer would actually benefit from when choosing a branded product. Every time your consumer uses the product you brand your business on is one new impression. The more impressions you are able to get, the more free publicity. So always keep in mind what they will use often and how it fits in with your brand.

How To Utilize Video Properly
Are You Utilizing Video Properly?
Is your online marketing plan stuck in static images and text posts? Do you have videos already in your arsenal but aren’t satisfied with how they look? This is a major hurdle to jump if your company doesn’t already have an in house video editor. Figuring out the language of videos and what types of videos work best on which medium is a full time job in and of itself. A more convenient way to reinvigorate your marketing plan with well made videos is to go through our tried and trusted video editing service Videotter!
But why do you even need videos in your marketing plan? Why aren’t static images and texts enough.
Why Utilize Videos Anyways?
Human’s eyes are naturally more attracted to movement. So, biologically, video captures your potential customers eyes better than static images. The more attention grabbing the video, the more engagement your brand gets overall!
“But I Already Have Static Ads, Why Should I Add Videos?”
You might be thinking to yourself that sure, you get it video is important. But is it really THAT much better than regular images? Statistically, video posts are more likely to increase engagement and clicks than static images or text. So unless you want your online engagement to flat line, get with videos!
So, now that you know how video’s will transform your marketing and social media presence, where do you go from here? Editing videos is hard. Trying to make engaging video content takes a lot of skill and time to master. So save yourself your valuable time (and the head ache of teaching yourself new software) and sign up for our video editing service Videotter!
