How Social Media Can Affect Your Trade Show Success

admin

Web Success Team has a number of clients in the health food and supplement industries. Most of them attend Natural Products Expo West, the world’s largest trade show with more than 60,000 industry members participating in 2012.

Trade shows offer many marketing opportunities to showcase your products and make valuable business connections. The cost of exhibiting and participating in a trade show is high. So if you have a limited marketing budget but need to attend, you can help control your costs and maximize exposure by using social media platforms.

In this article, we’ll share some of the methods we use for our clients to increase visibility: before the show to set the stage, during the show and at the booth to drive traffic, and after the show for follow-up.

1. BEFORE THE SHOW – Draw attention to your brand – Many conversations about events, opinions and ideas from the show are shared through social media channels. Use Twitter Feed to post your program updates and invite visitors to your booth. For example, our client has a book signing by a famous author at their booth and we offer free product samples along with the book. So we’re posting these Twitter updates to your feed and inviting attendees to your booth. Bloggers are also a key element in promoting a brand. Giving them special attention and freebies (for themselves and special show deals for your readers) if they meet us at the booth for a product review helps promote the brand. We have also joined the trade show group on Facebook and LinkedIn and are engaging in relevant conversations and sharing our views to bring more attention to our customers’ products and services.

2. AT THE FAIR – Promotion of your products: Twitter is the best listening tool to use during the fair to publish schedules of activities. Twitter chats and parties are a great opportunity to promote your products at a very reasonable cost. Offer gifts that resonate with your audience. You will get a lot of engagement from your target audience.

One of our clients is also exhibiting a new product at the Expo West Press Event, a great marketing opportunity where we can further promote the brand. This event will allow us to meet with bloggers and members of the press who will review your new product. We will also display the featured product in the giveaway suite and exhibitor hall showcase for more exposure.

3. POST SHOW – Leverage All Marketing Efforts: After the show, when everyone is back in the office, immediately reach out to your new connections. This is also a good time to promote a blogger giveaway to capitalize on the excitement of the show. New product promotions need to be aggressively implemented and posted on social media platforms.

As we roll out for our customers at Natural Products Expo West 2013 March 8-10, we know that the most important activities begin before the show. Building buzz early and making your presence felt via social media can pay big dividends during and after the show. Social media is a marketing necessity for trade shows and will increase booth traffic, visibility and maximize the ROI of your trade show.

Quality stainless steel cookware is a real joy to use and clean.

admin

Some people are afraid to use stainless steel cookware, they are afraid that the lack of Teflon coating will cause the food cooked on it to stick. I bought my first set of stainless steel pans on the HSN sales network and decided to try it myself. These pans are a dream and they clean up beautifully. My experience with these beautiful pans has been nothing but positive, and I have put them to the test. The 20-piece aluminum skillet set I purchased is from Wolfgang Puck, a well-known chef who definitely knows a good skillet when he sees it. Here are some of the highlights of this beautiful set.

My set included a 1 quart saucepan, 2 quart saucepan, omelet pan, 8 quart stock pot, skillet, and large wok. They are all heavy and very well built. Glass lids for all the pots and pans were also included, as well as some beautiful stainless steel cookware including spoons, turners, forks, tongs, a slotted spoon, and even an adjustable measuring spoon. The elegant mirror finish on all pieces makes them worth displaying. My kitchen looks so much more elegant with these pans in use.

Most importantly, these pans cook evenly and quickly. I have gas burners and use the skillets on medium heat for best results. I followed the included instructions, which tell the user to first preheat the pan, then add the oil or butter to the hot pan. Then, add whatever you’re cooking. It worked like a charm, and nothing has stuck. To clean pans, while they’re still hot, I pour water into them and then take a cloth, to wipe up any debris, or run the hot pan under the tap, to remove food. It works beautifully, and quickly.

Before I bought this set, I was a slave to cheap Teflon coated pans. But the coating didn’t cook as evenly as I would have liked and was scratched. In addition, there are currently studies on these types of coated pans that are supposedly bad for your health due to the chemicals that are released when cooking. I have a nice cast iron skillet, but a complete set is too expensive for my middle-class budget. This cookware set was reasonably priced and seeing them on HSN I could tell they were high quality. In person, they are even more impressive, along with the cookware, which is also heavy and well made. I am giving away my cheap plastic spatulas, spoons and forks to someone else now as this set happily meets all my cooking needs. They don’t show any wear with multiple uses, and the food cooked in them didn’t burn or scorch at all. You couldn’t tell that with the old coated pans.

If you want a quality cookware set, Wolfgang Puck’s line of stainless steel pots, pans and utensils won’t fool you. They are worth every penny paid, and more. A professional cook would not put his name and reputation on the line by promoting disgusting pans. Give them a try and see how easy they are to use and clean. You won’t be disappointed.

Sales training and prospecting tips to increase sales with actions I learned from my window installer

admin

Sales training and prospecting tips from the amazing sites I witnessed while watching window installers work on my home. I recently had new windows installed and as I watched what happened I saw some fantastic sales prospecting techniques that just happened naturally because of how prospects think and act. Forget the classroom sales prospecting skills you learn in courses, I saw a steady stream of sales prospects that would fill any salesperson’s diary and make their goal for the month. I am now adapting these techniques with my work sales teams and you can fill your journal or increase your small business sales by doing the same.

The front of my house is on a busy street that leads to the local shops and throughout the day many people walked by and saw the two guys installing my new windows. I saw people slow down and stop to look back at the house and the work being done. Some took the contact details from the side of the window installer’s truck, and many others stopped to ask the guys questions about windows and prices for repairs or renovations. I have to admit, I cringed when I heard the window guys respond to these passing sales leads. They were excellent window installers, but not salesmen.

What I learned was the power of marketing that created this situation. This was much more effective than expensive television or newspaper advertising. It triggered a reaction from anyone passing by who had the slightest need for the guy’s services. This was a salesperson’s dream, prospects lining up to speak to someone. It got to the point where it kept the guys from working and they didn’t have time to deal with all these people. What a waste of sales leads, I bet there are home improvement direct sales people working all month to get that many leads, more on that later.

There are several reasons these prospects stopped and talked to working window installers, and within these reasons we can find valuable prospecting and sales training ideas.

The main reason people felt comfortable was that someone else took the first action and decided that these professionals were the ones to contact and hire. So, prospects follow someone else’s first action.

Another reason is that these were working merchants, not sellers. When a window salesman knocks on your door, he is doing it for his benefit. When you stop a guy who works on the street, you’re doing it for your benefit. Imagine what a salesperson could have done with all those leads.

Buyers will always take the easiest action. What’s easier, looking through ads, directories and the internet and having to make a decision about which company to contact. Then talk to someone in a sales line and wait to be ambushed to set up a sales appointment or even a sale. Or stop in for a casual chat with a guy who works who can see that he really knows what he’s talking about? If I wanted information and advice on installing new windows, who would I talk to? A guy in overalls who adjusts the windows every day or a savvy salesman who knows more about the credit contract than the windows? So what sales training lessons can we learn from the actions of passing sales prospects and my window installers? Without knowing your line of business, it’s hard to give accurate sales advice. But consider the following ideas and think about how you might adapt them for your sales role.

If you were a salesperson for the company my window fitters worked for, how would you like to get your hands dirty and spend some time with the guys who fit the windows? Put on overalls and talk to every prospect who walks by and wants information. From what I saw outside my house, I guarantee you will fill your sales journal.

Small business sales can be boosted by motivating all of your frontline staff to sell. Set up a rewards plan and provide each member of your staff with informational and sales brochures. Offer them a lead pad to take details of any potential sales opportunities and reward them for each sale they generate.

Salespeople are perceived to be doing their job and contacting people for their own benefit. People working in non-sales roles are considered to be able to offer information that will benefit the buyer. If you are a salesperson, how do your prospects perceive you? What can you do to be seen as someone who can benefit the buyer, and how will you get a queue of prospects wanting to talk to you?

Inflammatory Foods: Gas in the Fire

admin

In my previous article titled Inflammation… It’s a vessel. I discussed how inflammation cooks the body like an egg or a piece of meat in a crock pot. This article is a continuation to describe the particular foods that can ignite that fire and speed up the degeneration of tissues and organs in the body. This can lead to increased back pain and joint pain, as well as other damage, as you’ll see. I’ll keep the food list short and sweet (no pun intended) to make your diet changes easier to remember.

The top three sources of gas (no, not that kind of gas)

1) Sugar: Sugar in the blood in the wrong amounts negatively affects our hormones, especially insulin. Therefore, do not eat simple sugars in large amounts and focus on carbohydrates that are very complex, such as colorful fruits and vegetables. It is important to note that grains and breads are also sugars and they increase blood sugar and also increase insulin response. So limit the amounts of breads and starchy foods as much as possible. Try, if you can, to stick to whole grains, as they are more anti-inflammatory, but can be a problem due to the gluten content, which in some people can cause even more problems. If you want a starchy food, potatoes are our top pick: sweet, red, white, and sweet potatoes.

2) Meats: Protein should be eaten with each meal as it creates balance with carbohydrates and helps keep blood sugar levels regulated, but try to eat fish or grass-fed beef or lamb and try to avoid fatty meats. The main reason why meats can be bad is that the omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids can go two ways. The omega 3 fatty acids found mainly in fish follow a non-inflammatory pathway and actually reduce inflammation, but the omega 6 fatty acids can follow two pathways and one of them is very inflammatory so obviously fish is a good source of protein.

Diets that are low in Omega 3 and high in Omega 6 fatty acids will tend to result in higher levels of inflammation, especially if the diet is lacking in important nutrients such as magnesium and B vitamins. Remember that both Omega 3 fatty acids and Omega 6 are essential fatty acids and both are necessary for the body to function properly. The American diet can have an Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio as high as 20:1 or even 40:1. A healthier ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 is around 4:1 or as low as 2:1. As you can see, a healthy diet still has more Omega 6 fatty acids than Omega 3 fatty acids, but certainly not the ratio we commonly see in our diets here in the US.

3) Vegetable Oils – (soybean, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, and cottonseed oil) and trans fats found in almost all packaged foods and fried foods like potatoes fries. Push the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio the wrong way so that you are hurting your inflammatory levels as described above.

The human body goes awry when we eat the wrong foods and in the wrong combinations. Biochemical and inflammatory damage occurs to tissues when we eat a diet deficient in fruits and vegetables, and contains excess sugar, meats, vegetable oils (not olive oil), and trans fats found in almost all packaged foods and fried foods like french. French fries Inflammation associated with a poor diet can initially start without symptoms, making it very difficult to detect; However, over time, this chronic diet-driven inflammation can lead to the chronic diseases that affect us all, causing chronic aches and pains. and endless suffering. Every time you eat the wrong foods, you create inflammation in your body that will slowly but surely lead to chronic pain, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and many others. Therefore, your diet and supplements are key to preventing and treating this problem. In short, we need to eat vegetables and grass fed meats and fish and take appropriate supplements (like Omega 3 supplements) and reduce our intake of sugars and grains, bad oils and wrong meats and we need to exercise more… these are the things What should we do to promote an anti-inflammatory lifestyle?
