For manufacturing companies who want to publicise their products, trade shows are a great use of time and money. By combining exposure and personal interaction, companies can expose themselves to a large number of potential leads, offering an experience for the business and attendee that no other form of marketing can replicate.
Exhibiting at trade shows however, is not cheap and most likely you’ll find you only have the budget to display at one or two. In this respect, companies must determine which show will be the most profitable for them.
