Setting Goals & Measurable Objectives

There are three types of objectives and goals that can be applied to your trade show exhibition display. You will find it considerably easier to judge your success using measurable objectives however non tangible goals also play a part in determining the overall degree of success attained.

 

1. LOGISTICAL GOALS

Specific examples could include:
  • Generating a sense of excitement both on your exhibit and generally around the show
  • Increasing preshow awareness of your company and/or brand
  • Implementing processes designed to create a desirable traffic flow to your display and/or to specific areas within your exhibit
  • Targeting specific demographics with a goal, for example attracting attention amongst show visitors who previously were not particularly knowledgeable about your company or product
  • Communicate specific products or services to potential customers
