HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS EVENT as a Visitor

 

The exhibitors are keen to talk to you, so say hello and have a conversation - they will not bite.

 

To get the most out of the expo - plan to stay for 3 hours - and try to have conversations with as many people as possible for around 5 minutes each, so you can build solid connections.

 

Do not just walk past exhibition stands, thinking that does not interest me, you do not know who they know, who could assist you with your business

 

Attendees can bring business cards - but do not bring flyers (you can still book a stand to Show-Tell-Sell).

Remember conversations are Two Way - so listen to people and what they have to say.

 

Do not be aggressive in your sales approach to anyone, the aim is to build relationships and solid leads

 

Be clear in your elevator pitch to describe your own business - there are over 1000 business owners going and that is a lot of conversations that you could have - so be clear and concise – save your energy.

 

Have a goal in mind - if you need to target specific businesses - then focus on finding them first.

 

Bring money for lunch and to purchase items or a credit card - we do not have ATM facilities at the Expo.

 

Bring your SMILE - our expos work so well because people have FUN whilst doing business.

 

Join in the FREE activities to get the most out of the Expo - just say YES and jump on in.

 

Have a game plan – do not just be a time waster on the day – Show Up and Lets Do BUSINESS
We are so excited you can join us.

 

Remember : ENTRY IS BY A GOLD COIN DONATION bring a gold coin donation for the charities and assist us with the set up and traffic management of the Expo. Dont scrimp - you get into the expo for FREE so raid the piggy bank if you have to get a few coins together.’We appreciate all of our volunteers and charities that assist us to put this expo on for you.

 

WHEN TO ARRIVE

 

Please do not ALL try to turn up at 10am when the Expo opens. Consider arriving throughout the day, keeping in mind the average time spent at our Expos is 3 hours - even to get around the 230 businesses showcasing and having a chat will take you a few hours to complete.

We ask you to also co-share a car to reduce the number of cars onsite. You would be doing the environment a favour.
