Even the most basic trade shows make great marketing communications tools due to the simple fact that they are so interactive. 

Most important is that trade shows offer face time.  Attending a show provides the opportunity to meet in person with prospective customers and get their opinion of your product or service.  You’ll also get face time with existing customers as well as competitors and partners.

While at trade shows always take the time and opportunity to visit the broad spectrum of companies around the area and observe what they are all doing.
Attendees may not realize how much informational products and literature they will accumulate and don’t always come prepared.  A nice bag would prove quite useful to them and your advertising campaign.

Wondering how you can do your part to help reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere?  Change won't happen overnight but at the flip of a switch you can help fight global warming.

Unplug your cell phone charger, TV and other electronics when you are not using them.  Even when some electronic items are turned "off" they still use small amounts of energy.  Make it easy by having everything plugged into a surge protector with its own switch.

Turn off lights and other energy-sucking devices when they’re not in use.  Before turning on any electrical, oil or gas-powered machine, ask yourself:  "Is there another way to do this task?"  Be creative!

Well-placed landscaping cuts energy costs in summer and winter.  Trees should be placed so they will provide shade for your house and help it stay cool in the summer.  An even better idea is to plant fruit or nut trees, berry bushes, garden vegetables and herbs.
