Packaged food and drink brand owners are often afraid to spend the money to exhibit at a trade show in case they don’t make their money back.

Trade shows are a big investment in time and money, so that’s understandable.

In this episode I talk to Liz Shaw, Exhibition Manager of Specialised Events to help you understand what you must do to make your money back.

In my conversation with Liz, we get to the granular level of setting objectives and how to win turn in orders whilst you’re at the show. 

These are some of the key questions we answer:

1.  How can trade shows help to grow a foodpreneurs business?
2. Where should trade shows should sit in a foodpreneurs marketing mix?
3. What is the one big mistake most first time exhibitors make that can be easily avoided?
