Being an Exhibitionist
It’s many years since I have manned an exhibition stand at the CIPD annual exhibition. I am really looking forward to this year as I return to three exciting days of smiling at people as they walk past our stand. Perhaps I am in a minority, but love the whole exhibition thing!
The only problem I have is making sure I go to the right place… I still think of the CIPD as having their conference and exhibition in Harrogate. Must remember to set the Sat Nav for Manchester!
The work involved in pulling an exhibition like this together seems vast. But for us it is a really good opportunity to tell the world about our Hunt4Staff.com business. As well as catching up with a few contacts I have not seen for far too long. So if you are in Harrogate… Sorry – Manchester this year, then do pop along and visit us on stand C12.
But seriously, going back to being an exhibitionist. It always amazes me how many of the stands have people sitting on the stand, the other side of a table, waiting for someone to approach them. I am sure this is not the way to make you exhibition & marketing strategy work for you. But at its core, this is about getting the right people for the right job. You’d expect us to get that bit right wouldn’t you!
Hope to see you in Manchester,
All the best,
Jason
