Why should my company participate in an EMI trade show?
Regardless of company size an EMI trade show, such as the Multicultural & Diversity Expo, provides an excellent opportunity to be seen and recognized as a company who cares strongly about achieving its diversity goals within the markets that it serves. It also provides a great opportunity to collect qualified leads, make sales and build relationships. EMI EXPO shows will also complement your other sales and marketing mediums. Choose and use them well, and you will realize many benefits. Consider the following:

More Bang for your Buck!
EMI EXPO trade shows are one of the most cost-effective ways for your company to reach qualified audiences. According to recent studies by Exhibit Surveys Inc., the average cost per visitor contacted at a typical trade show is $177, while the average cost of a field sales call is $295. Do the math. Less work, more fulfilling. And by sponsoring/exhibiting at mutliple eGlobalVillage Expo shows, you save more and get an even Bigger Bang for your buck.

Fresh Faces
Studies by Exhibit Surveys show that only twelve (12%) percent of the average exhibitor’s booth traffic have been called on by a salesperson from that company in the 12 months prior to the show; fully eighty-eight (88%) percent are new prospects. Furthermore, trade shows bring you high-quality visitors. Eighty-two (82%) percent of an exhibit’s visitors have buying influence for the exhibiting company’s products or services, and forty-nine (49%) percent of an exhibit’s visitors are planning to purchase those products or services.

Competitive Edge
EMI EXPO trade shows offer your company another unique opportunity to stand out from the crowd by being a part of the "Difference that Diversity Makes” in today’s global marketplace. You can also outshine the competition with a well-trained booth staff, aggressive pre-and at-show promotion, eye-catching booth design, and conscientious, timely follow-up after the show. Also, EMI EXPO trade show attendees use the opportunity to "comparison shop." So this is your opening to point out where your product is superior in performance, pricing, service etc.

Face Time
You will definitely reach more prospects in a two-day period than your sales force can in three months. Meeting prospects face to face is also the fastest way to build relationships.

Customer Bonding
Customer service/satisfaction is a hot topic for many companies. An EMI EXPO trade show is an excellent place to reinforce existing customers relationships. To say "thanks" to key customer with hospitality suites, one-on-one dinners or special services such as transportation to and from the convention center.

Hands-On Learning
How much of your product line can your salespeople actually carry with them and demonstrate on the road? Probably not much. Trade shows are a great place for prospects to "test drive" your products. Also at our eGlobalVillageExpos, you can get all of the latest information on many of the "hot topics" concerning regulatory and compliance issues that must be addressed by businesses today!

Competitive Analysis
The EMI EXPO trade show floor truly provides an invaluable opportunity to study the competition. Where else can you find out so much information on a competitor's new product offerings, pricing and marketing strategies? So much to be learned by just observing and listening.

Media Spotlight
Most shows attract lots of media attention. Use this to your advantage to gain new media attention and exposure. Be sure to invite key press contacts to visit your booth.

Most survey's tell us that trade shows offer a great opportunity to conduct market research. If you’re considering launching a new product or service, for example, you can survey show attendees on pricing, distribution, features and benefits, and minimum
quality requirements, among others.
