EXHIBIT SPACE, SPONSORSHIP & ADVERTISING SALES
 

A key component of all trade shows is the generation of revenue from the sales of exhibit space to exhibitors– but how do you entice them to participate? Exhibit space sales can be challenging at best.

When you wish you had a few sales superstars or a larger sales staff to sell all those exhibit spaces, sponsorships and ads, we're here for you. IEC sales teams provide the perfect solution for your exhibt space sales. Or, we can just be an addition to your own staff.... Either way, we can make your bottom line bigger.

Interexpo also has affiliations with a network of sales offices worldwide that help it to reach out globally.

IEC EXHIBIT SPACE SALES TEAMS

 
IEC Exhibit Space Sales Team members are not your typical telemarketers. Our Account Executives take pride in how they handle each of your potential exhibitors, sponsors, and advertisers. They're Pros. They know how to sell exhibit space and treat your clients. They carefully observe trends in the given show industry and potential exhibitor audience, and appropriately adjust their sales approach if needed.


SALES & MARKETING STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
 
We Develop the Right Sales Strategy and Begin to Sell

The on-point sales and marketing strategies IEC expertly develops serve as the foundation for your overall show marketing message. They're carefully crafted to sell your show to exhibitors, sponsors, advertisers and attendees alike.

By combining an IEC exhibit space and sponsorship tele-sales campaign with our direct-mail lead generating program you can power up your show's bottom-line with a two-pronged marketing punch that delivers the desired result.

Once identified or sold, effective tracking and management of both prospects and clients is extremely important in keeping your overall marketing costs down. ExpoBrand Trade Show Marketing at IEC features professional high-powered exhibit space sales teams that identify, find, track, sell, and serve these key people. Call us... Add a few IEC superstars to your sales staff without adding heavy weight to your marketing budget.


THE IEC SALES PROCESS
 
Sell and Succeed. Here's How We Do It...


We start by expertly determining the target audience and buying influences necessary for the success of your show. This takes some quantative and qualative market research. Then we develop your show's Top Five Selling Points, and the overall USP (unique selling proposition). We compile a current and up-to-date list of decision-makers at the companies in the target audience or specific market sector.

Next, we customize and set-up a contact management database for your show using state-of-the-art software technology to track and measure everything. You will no longer need to spend big-bucks on your in-house sales & marketing staff, ...and live without systematic lead follow-up, or operate without tracking your effectiveness. We verify each lead and maintain the database to reflect a "best practices" sales approach.

Once that's done, we hand-pick a dedicated IEC Sales Team that only works on your show. The Team Leader will be an experienced, professional and accomplished trade show sales superstar. Every Team Member is an experienced, professional sales person who has real professional selling skills, and is either directly experienced in trade show selling or has been specially trained for trade shows--and for your particular show. Unlike some firms, we don't hire just anybody that can fog a mirror and dial a phone to work on your show. You can expect more from IEC. It's why we're different.

If you have opted for the best approach to trade show marketing, the show web site is created and put online, and the lead generation direct-mail program is launched. Key prospects are mailed, emailed and faxed with an effective lead generating message. This also serves as a "follow-up" reason for the telemarketing team to open doors quickly, professionally and honestly.

Having done that, we're ready to start actively targeting precisely the market sectors, companies, key executives, and decision makers that will guarantee success for your show. Immediately, we launch pin-point telephone presentations touting the facts and benefits of your show from the exhibitor perspective.

Legal requirements are met, and contracts are created by IEC legal consultants that protect you, show mangement and exhibitors. In short time, results are experienced. Our sales support staff kicks into action and makes sure everything is carefully tracked and entered into the customized contact management database for your show. Report formats are created, and reporting is initiated by IEC Administrative Management. Financial services are set-up to accept payments in various forms and to account for and manage revenues.

Cashflow begins. Floor plans are updated daily and available on the show's web site. Exhibitors and sponsors are mailed IEC Show Kits and other appropriate materials. Our Account Managers (CSR's) follow-up to assist them with forms, deadlines and important information. Everthing is reported back to the IEC Account Executive who originally sold the client to insure that IEC customer service is above-and-beyond the industry norm.

When the show is sold out, we begin on-site sales logistics planning to prepare to sell the following year's show on-site. Your dedicated IEC Sales Team is on-site during your show to serve your clients and do rebookings for next year. After post-show evaluations and reporting, the process begins anew.

Why take chances... Let us handle all of your exhibit space, sponsorship and advertising sales. We specialize in success.
