aids.

• Send out, ahead of time, direct-mail pieces to potential
attendees.

Trade Shows
• Do your homework on potential buyers from other
countries.
• Assess the impact of trade show participation on the
company’s bottom line. Performance benchmarks may need
to be adjusted when evaluating trade show effectiveness in
different countries since attendees might behave differently.
• On-line information on trade show events is plentiful (e.g.,
www.tsnn.com). A recent phenomenon is the emergence of
“virtual trade shows” (e.g.,www.unisfair.com/Showcase.asp)
