Just returned from a week on the road, attending Exhibitor

2012 in Las Vegas and Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim

this past week.

 

At Exhibitor, I worked in the Classic Exhibits booth

alongside their crew, chatting about Social Media Event

Marketing U, the new membership site that just launched on

Monday, March 5th, the first day of Exhibitor.

 

It seemed that the various videos I put together to promote

Classic Exhibits' new booth at Exhibitor 2012 were well

received. As many as 20 people recognized me from the

videos (I guess that's a good thing!) The Classic Exhibits

crew loved the responses, as well as the series of videos,

and we all charted the show as a success in many ways.

 

Over in Anaheim, I spent a couple of days walking the

floor, meeting and greeting people and signing folks up to

my tradeshow marketing newsletter (if you're one of them -

WELCOME!).

 

Check the most recent blog posts on the TradeshowGuy Blog

here. One post that got a lot of comments, and was passed

around Twitter, as well as picked up by Social Media Today

(and was even retweeted almost 300 times...yeah, damn), had

to do with my musings on why some exhibitors don't return

to shows:

 

During the course of the two shows, I posted nine short

videos, six from Exhibitor and two from Expo West. It seems

people like the videos and will share them, as well as ping

me on Twitter about them.

 

Here's the YouTube feed for the most recent videos.

 

One other thing I noticed at Expo West is that exhibitors

are still using QR Codes, and they're using them better!

Watch for that blog post in a few days...

 

Enjoy,
