TSNN LinkedIn Group
Join TSNN's LinkedIn Group today to network and stay informed with over 2,000 trade show industry professionals. It's viral! Join the helpful and informative discussions.
From LinkedIn Group Member Debra at cooperstepp.com:
"Many of our national clients scaled back this year, but as the 2010 budgets are being created, we are being advised they are going back to the original schedule of Trade Shows. This means they will be attending national, state & local city shows.
They too are feeling they lost the face to face interaction with attendees/clients. Social media may fill a gap but we are showing clients branding giveaway campaigns to work in conjunction with their social media & trade shows to draw more traffic when they are exhibiting."
