Welcome to Social Marketing for the Trade Show Professional. As you may or may not know, Adler Display holds trade show related seminars twice a year. How many people have attended one of our seminars in the past? In previous seminars, we have covered a wide variety of topics pertaining to how to make the most of your trade show budget, how to get people to your booth, and how to have an engaging trade show presence. But never before have we even touched on how Social Marketing fits into trade show promotion and customer engagement. Why? Because Social Marketing, while not necessarily new, is just now starting to take a strong foothold in the way businesses are marketing their products and services. And because this marketing medium is so new, bare with us as we present the information that we know thus far. It is quite possible that we will hear questions that we simply don’t have the answer to. If we do, we will be sure to follow up after the seminar with the answers. With that said, let’s review what we will be covering today.
