Net XP | Business Tradeshows Sussex

Running any event involves a lot of prior planning to ensure you get it right on the day. This is no truer than with exhibitions. There’s a whole host of factors to cover, including (but not limited to): keynote speakers, choice of venue, catering provisions, event dates & exhibition literature. And what’s more is the organisers also have to put the time in to source the right kind of quality exhibitors for the events, as well as then promote it to potential visitors, all months in advance.

Gamification is a rapidly growing method of adding value to a business and its services. It’s functional, fresh and fun. However it’s not – as some people believe – simply adding games to business, it’s much more than that. It is, in fact, the process of using game-style mechanics to improve and enhance a current business experience. By applying game mechanics to ‘nongame’ company processes, you are adding a whole extra layer to your business and making it stand out from the competition. This is precisely what we’ve done at Net XP.

My last piece focused on the Power of Face-to-Face events, and as you’ll know from having read it, I’m a big believer in networking and creating real-life business relationships. However, this doesn’t mean I think technology has no place in business tradeshows; far from it. There are a number of impressive technological tricks both exhibitors and event organisers can use to create an innovative tradeshow experience, so in this piece, I’m going to name just a few examples that add wow factor to events.

Today’s advances in technology are incredible, aren’t they? It’s never been easier to get in touch with someone across the globe, and the internet means that we can now achieve many of our daily tasks from the comfort of our armchairs and offices. To put it into perspective, we send around 200 billion emails per day, a statistic some might consider daunting, but most would say is an incredible feat of modern tech. And whilst we can converse so freely through emails and phone calls, many would in fact argue that we’re becoming out of touch with one another.

For small business owners, preparing for a trade show or exhibition can be a very daunting experience. Here are a few ideas and concepts to employ at your next exhibition for the smoothest expo possible…

Customer Experience Finalists, Mid Sussex Expo 2018

For the first time ever in its history, Net XP has decided to reveal the finalists of the Customer Experience award ahead of each event, starting with the final expo of 2018 - the Mid Sussex Expo.

Previously the announcement has been made within the busy expo hall, and Sonny has decided that the finalists deserve more recognition! This new process will enable highlighting and shouting about the big six finalists in the lead up to the event to maximise publicity for these businesses.

Success Stories - BBA Couriers

The ultimate dream of Network Xpress is to empower businesses and share in their successes. BBA Couriers is one of those success stories that have emerged from the collaboration of the expos and Net XP.

BBA Couriers were one of Net XP’s Customer Experience Award winners earlier this year, and after presenting them with the highly-esteemed award, the prize and free publicity across our website and social media, we got chatting about what else we could do with them as a company.
