The Perfect Exhibit Presentation: Introduction

Your exhibit presentation is a very important key to success at trade shows. It gives you and the team an opportunity to convey a clear and concise message to all prospects that enables you to re-focus and reiterate the most important aspects of your organization’s products and services.


The introduction to your presentation must smoothly bridge the gap between your ability to gather information and your need to give information to potential customers. Depending on how attention grabbing your opening is, prospects could be drawn to stay at your display booth for longer in order to become more informed and possibly more likely to use your products or services.
