5 Reasons to Participate in a Bridal Show 1. MEET BRIDES! Where else can you meet so many brides in one day and in one convenient

location?

2. STAND OUT! Bridal shows provide you with the opportunity to show the bride what sets you

apart from the competition. Display your work and your company’s individual personality.

3. FACE-TO-FACE CONNECTION: Do you have a winning personality? Make a personal connection

with brides that can only be made at a bridal show. You can’t create that intimate connection with your potential client through search engines and web site advertising.

4. WELL ROUNDED MARKETING: Many bridal show producers offer great well rounded marketing

packages that may include print advertising, web, bridal shows and more! Take advantage of advertising to as many brides as possible without having to spread your marketing dollars thin!

These packages also help guarantee that the bride will remember you! A consumer must see your name between 3-7 times before it sticks.

5. FUN! Bridal Shows are fun! What a high energy way to reach brides. Enjoy a day or two away

from the office and cold calls. Network with other vendors and fill your calendar with appointments.

Choosing the RIGHT Bridal Show As members of Bridal Show Producers International (BSPI), our goal is simple – to ensure that our exhibitors have the tools and knowledge to be successful. Here are some ideas to consider when shopping for a show to bring you the best return on your investment:

BE INFORMED

QUESTIONS TO ASK

Reviews, testimonials and word of mouth are your best friends. Seek out reviews from different sources to see what people are saying about the shows. Ask fellow bridal business associates about shows they’ve done and why they did or didn’t like them. Most show producers are eager to establish a rapport with their exhibitors, so use that relationship to get a personal feel for the company.

Reviews & Testimonials: 9 Do you have any testimonials and/or reviews you could share with me?

9 What is your average vendor retention rate?

9 How many weddings do other vendors in my category book from your show?

Multiple successful shows prove that the producer not only delivered on promises (bride count, vendor count, etc.), but that vendors actually gained business from it. If the show is new to your area, ask whether he or she has produced shows in other markets. Don’t be afraid to ask those shows’ vendors whether they were successful.

Multiple Successful Shows: 9 How many shows have you produced?

9 How many years have you been in business?

9 Do you have photos or video from previous shows? (look for high CSJEF USBGmD

9 What is your average bride count at this show?

9 What is your average vendor count at this show?

Advertising is the primary way to attract brides to a show, and one of the producer’s largest expenses. Aggressive multimedia and multiplatform advertising is a good indicator that the show producer is legitimate.

Advertising & Promotion To Attract the Right Audience: 9 Where/How do you advertise?

9 How far in advance of the show do you advertise?

9 What time of day are your ads running?

9 8IBU iFYUSBw UIJOHT XJMM CF HPJOH PO BU UIF TIPX PUIFS UIBO WFOEPS booths?

9 How are you promoting this event?

Attracting the right audience is crucial not only to the producer’s success CVU ZPVST BT XFMM 5IF SJHIU BVEJFODF JT CBTFE BSPVOE B iRVBMJmFE CSJEF w Display galleries, fashion shows, celebrities and lounge areas can be nice enhancements, but booths and an atmosphere that facilitates relationships between vendors and brides should always be the main focus, and advertised as such.

Licensing and Insurance of the production company is important as it shows that the company is compliant with all state, city and venue regulations. Insurance is peace of mind, not just for the producer but for the vendors as well.

Licensing & Insurance: 9 What insurances do you carry for the show?

9 Is your business registered?

9 What is your business address?

Verify the business by determining that their address matches up on search engines – that the company has claimed their business on the web.

Consistency in the business is also important when referencing an address, email or phone number.

Verifying with the venue: 9 When verifying the venue, verify the date as well.

9 Are there any restrictions for our booth design regulated by the venue; candles, food, height of displays, etc.

9 How many shows have you produced at this venue?

Verify with the venue that it is hosting the event. The most successful shows are often hosted in the same venue and time frame every year, an JOEJDBUJPO UIBU UIF WFOVF TVQQPSUT BOE CFOFmUT GSPN BO POHPJOH SFMBUJPOTIJQ with the producer.
