Exhibitions and trade shows are the ideal occasion to launch new products and demonstrate them to your visitors. You spent a great deal of time and money on your stand to launch a new product how do you make sure the demonstration goes smoothly.
What are the main benefits of your product. What problem will it solve for your clients? Once you have established this how can you demonstrate this feature in 3 minutes or less? Come up with a few ideas then test them. Which works best? What will impress the customer the most but also be easily repeatable with the minimum chance of it going wrong.
You must have seen product demonstrations go wrong. It can happen but the best way to avoid it is keep the demonstration simple and test it over and over again before the show.
Once you're at the show run through the demonstration again before visitors start to turn up. Also consider having a back up product, just in case!
The best demonstrations are appealing visually, simple and often hands on. Giving the prospect the chance to try the product themselves can be the deal clincher.
Problems can happen so have a contingency plan rather than struggling on. Planning Prevents Poor Performance!
