“The Xsnap was recommended to me by one of our sales directors.  It is extremely lightweight, versatile, quick to set-up and visually unique.  I now use them coast to coast (11 complete set-ups).  Overall, I find them cost effective for shipping costs and panel replacements instead of the heavier and more expensive lambda style booth.  Our sales staff loves them after they got used to them.  They are very eye catching and attract attention -- not a bad thing in a sea of booths.   It is important to note they do need to be deployed properly to avoid snapped pieces and the panels need to be folded to eliminate wrinkles.  Both very manageable from a training angle.

The booths are well made but like anything ... they will need ...Read more

So be sure your company isn’t included in that statistic, make follow-up part of your pre-show plan. Collate information packages in advance, generate a mail merge letter thanking visitors and providing them with the name of the sales person who will be contacting them soon, build a personalized email to broadcast, or turn the leads over to an internal or external telemarketing team.Whichever methods you choose to use, strive to implement it within 3 to 5 days following your event.
