Preparing for Winter Trade Shows

We spoke about healthcare trade shows in one of our previous blogs, but health care isn’t the only industry to have events during this time of year. If you’re preparing for winter trade shows, then CMI Promotions is here to help you find the perfect custom promotional products for your booth. Whether you’re looking for apparel, drinkware, tech gifts, or something else, you can find it in our online catalog. Look through our selection today to find your new items!

Are You Driving or Flying?

Depending on the size and scale of your company, you might be flying to a city on the other side of the country for a large trade show, or you might be driving just a few miles down the road to a smaller event. Whatever the case may be, it’s important to know how you’re getting there, and, more importantly, how your trade show giveaways are getting there. If you’re flying, will you pack an additional suitcase full of swag, or will you ship boxes to your hotel? If you’re driving, is there room in your car for boxes full of custom USB drives, golf towels, and other promotional gifts?

Knowing how you’re getting to the trade show can help you decide how best to transport your promotional gifts. You want everything to arrive safe and sound, and taking the time to plan can save you from several issues, such as items not arriving on time or being damaged in transit.

How Many Attendees Will There Be?

If you’re going to a show for the first time, then you might not know how many people usually attend the event. By talking with the show coordinators, you should be able to get a rough estimate of how many people they expect to attend. Once you have that number, you can make sure that you have enough promotional gifts for anyone and everyone who visits your table or booth. It’s unlikely that everyone who attends the show will stop by, since there just isn’t enough time for that, but it’s good to have plenty of items on hand for each attendee.

When Is the Show Date?

If the show date is quickly approaching and you still haven’t decided on what type of promotional gifts to order, there’s no need to worry. At CMI, we offer free mockups and quick turnarounds on every order, which means you can see the products before they’re printed and get them in time for the show. We do have rush service available on certain items, so be sure to ask about that when you contact us.
