Maximise your time at the show...

...with this simple visitor checklist

With so many stands to visit and people to meet, you need to carefully consider how you will make best use of your time at Let's do Business. 
 
Preparation will help you get the most out of your visit. There will be a lot of information thrown at you on the day, so why not use the checklist below to help maximise your visit to Let's do Business.  
 
Plan
Make the most of this website.  Check who's exhibiting on the "Confirmed Exhibitors" page and where they are located in the venue.  Use the updates we send you by email.  How long have you planned to spend at the exhibition?  Who do you most want to see in the time available to you?  Remember the show is open for visitors from 10am until 5pm. Be realistic about how much time you will need to spend at the show.  
 
Identify
What is it you want to achieve from your visit? Are you after business advice or information?  Do you simply want to make contacts with the business community or are you targeting a specific sector?  Once you've decided who you want to see, identify their location within the venue.  
 
Network
Take plenty of business cards.  There will be a lot of information available on the day.  Collect as much as you can at the show and filter out what you don't need afterwards.  The businesses you meet on the day could become your preferred suppliers, or you're a valuable customer.
 
Follow-up
Touch base with prospective contacts immediately after the exhibition either by phone or e-mail.  Don't let your warm leads go cold.
