How to get more customers at shows and events

Shows and events  can be a great expense.    You have to pay for your rented space.
These could include gun shows,  bridal shows, oudoor shows, trade shows, fairs, and festivals.
Once a potential customer passes your table, they will probably forget about you and your company.
Here is a tip. 
With everyone, I mean everyone that passes by your table; hand them a small gift such as a pen, pencil, ruler, small calendar, ect. with your company's name, phone number and web address  imprinted on it,   (these type of products will be more readily accepted than a plain old business card.)
Only give them a business card and/or brochure if they ask for it.
Another Tip:
Do not display your promotional items on your table.  They won't last long.
Kids are the worst about taking a handful of  items at one time.
Keep some of your promotional items  in your hands and give them out idividually to ADULTS only!
You're get more follow-up calls after the event and make more sales.

Using Social Media Marketing for your business

Social Media is a great way to market your business but..... remember;  telling, no selling.

People like to be entertained, amused and learn new things.  They don't like sales pitches.

Do you have information that may be educational or something entertaining? 

Perhaps shoot a video of a parade, or special event in your town like a rodeo.  Upload it up to YouTube.  Put in subtitiles like brought to you by Quality Construction, (555) 555-5555  or  video compliments of  www.GreentreeLandscapers.com

You could also do a slide show and put music to it.  Then upload it to YouTube.

Your YouTube slide show or video can also be placed on your Facebook page

Raised Letter Printing is printing that has a raised surface.  Another name for it is Thermo-engraved printing. A special ink is used for the process. After the ink is printed on the surface,  heat or UV light is used. The ink rises then rises above the paper. The ink thus has the feel and look of an engraved image.
Raised Letter Printing  is classy and  looks very professional.
It is used for business cards, envelopes, letterheads and Invitations.

Inbound links can help you get more web traffic.

In bound links from your twitter, facebook and blog pages to your website can greatly increase traffic. Also contact other companies and ask if they would swap "links" with you.  Do not use companies that sell the same products.

Use links from related companys.

For example, if you are a photographer, swap links with limo services, florist, jewelry stores, ect.
