Industry leading expos like VMX provide exhibiting companies with a powerful opportunity to use the before, during and after expo cycle to rapidly increase brand awareness in the Veterinary marketplace while also driving quality face-to-face interaction with Veterinarians. Register now for this all-new webinar that will walk you through the many awareness things you can and should be doing on your own, along with an overview of the VMX advertising and sponsorship programs organized by which marketing objectives they best support and by budget range. This is a “can’t miss” webinar for every exhibiting company wanting to maintain or build brand awareness and drive qualified booth.

How to Make Your VMX Booth Staff a Competitive Advantage

Your VMX exhibit is about getting quality face-to-face contact with veterinary professionals. Only your booth staff can manage this critical part of your exhibiting program.  People use trade shows not only to evaluate products, services and solutions, but equally important, to evaluate the people behind the brands.

If your staff is fully prepared and understands the expectations and needs of veterinary professionals and the unique dynamics of communicating in the challenging exhibiting environment, they will make a huge difference in the quality of your interactions, quality of your leads, your brand impression and ultimately your return on investment.  Make sure your booth staff are fully prepared to put your best foot forward by viewing this exhibit staff training workshop developed by tradeshow productivity expert Jefferson Davis of Competitive Edge.
