What I Discovered Covering Company Marketing From a Skiing Expo

Earlier this week-end my partner and some friends and I visited a nearby ski expo. When we arrived and saw the area we thought we'd take and out in a hour. Four hours later we were leaving with smiles on our faces. What made it a fantastic experience and how do [hhttp://www.youtube.com/user/DallasRoofingPros roofing contractor dallas] contractors make their home shows more successful and fun?I have worked numerous them, been to a lot of home shows and helped roofing contractors plan them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; But, I have never been to a property show which was nearly as much enjoyment while the new snow show I visited. Now you're probably thinking 'naturally a ski show is going to be much more fun than the usual home show.' Why? Are skiers more enthusiastic about their activity than homeowners? No, I do not think so. People are just as excited about their houses, and they spend much more cash on them than they do on skiing. However, we on the market tend to believe having a good time is not part of the sales equation. I believe when it comes to home shows we must try to make it more exiting and entertaining for your homeowner. How?Here are a few of the things distributors were doing to attract attention and have only a little fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - One vendor had a Plinko game going (you know, like the 'Price is Right ') Complete an info card and get a try to win prizes ranging from nothing to an inexpensive keychain to a free lift ticket.2 - Another had a snow chain installing contest where the fastest installer won a free lift ticket. I'm happy to say I won a free lift ticket!3 - One innovative and low priced game was a beer-pong create with small prizes like chap-stick or soda can insulators for getting the ball in the cup.4 - One organization had a 'horse race' where each person got a number on a horse and they'd a youngster from the group roll dice and transfer the horse forward one slot each time the number was rolled. My wife was thrilled to 'get' a $20.00 off coupon.5 - Many sellers had drawings for prizes if you opted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I've worked home shows previously I hated how people would come by and just look for the freebie to take without even talking to me. These sellers had games that involved the customer and we spent a lot of time talking and listening when we might not have otherwise.We also found that winning a chap-stick was a lot more enjoyable and satisfying than simply picking it up off the table. So, just how can roofing contractors incorporate this within their marketing efforts at home shows? Try to combine anything entertaining, a golf placing match for a totally free roof inspection, or that key chain or coffee pot that you're likely to give away anyway. Anything to obtain the clients to stop and talk in place of run and snatch. I'll guess you'll be the hit at another home show if you are the sole roofing company marketing himself in a great and unique approach. Give it a try, you and your future customers should it!
