Why Exhibit?

Nothing can replace Face-to-Face Interaction!

Trade shows remain the more cost-effective way of face-to-face marketing when compared to doing offi ce or fi eld sales calls.

• Cost per lead from a show averages $212 vs. the cost per lead from a fi eld (sales call) averages $308.*

• Cost per sale from a show averages $705 vs. the cost per sale from a fi eld (sales call) averages $1140.*

(This means it cost 38% less to close a sale from a trade show lead)

• 86% of the attendees visiting your booth will be new contacts.*

• 77% of the attendees visiting your booth will remember your company for up to 10 weeks.*

*According to statistics gathered from The Center For Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR)
