- 2. DO: Connect With Your Audience To begin building a successful story foundation, understand answers to questions like: What are their titles? Are they decision-makers/influencers? What are their care-abouts?
- 3. DON’T: Overlook Your Objectives Incorporate supplemental research & input from key stakeholders to create a cohesive messaging strategy that supports your overall objectives.
- 4. DO: Make It Mean Something Creativity for creativity's sake won't achieve your messaging goals. Make sure your story is a good one—relevant, powerful, and compelling.
- 5. DON’T: Forget to Maximize Your Message Reach 76% of trade show attendees have a pre-set agenda of "must see exhibits." Integrate your message throughout multiple pre-event marketing channels to build story momentum!
- 6. DO: Keep It Simple Make sure your key message is easy to follow. A lengthy or complicated message can cause guests to lose focus.
- 7. DON’T: Underestimate the Power of a Physical Journey Look for ways guests can have hands-on interactions with your products or solutions. Experiencing an "aha" moment brings your message to life in a whole new way.
- 8. DO: “Edutain” Them! Ensure your story has staying power— integrate your product message with an "edutaining" learning activity!
- 9. DON’T: Rely on Technology Alone Your message should be supported—not overshadowed—by any cool new technology you use. Use technology to enhance the story you're telling so your key takeaway remains top of mind.
- 10. DO: Keep the Story Going As you build your story, think about ways to leverage the messaging you created for future campaigns. From newsletters, emails, and talking points, to internal assets for training and sales meetings, to post-event marketing and social media, tactics like these will help create buzz, extend your reach, and add long-term value to your story.
