The TCI EXPO attendee list can be a powerful tool for generating buzz around your booth and creating connections prior to the show to make the most efficient use of your time at the event. Here are some best practices for utilizing the attendee lists before, during, and after the event.

1. Get to know your prospects. Qualifying and targeting your leads might take more time, but when people feel like you understand their business, they’re more likely to respond.
2. Get personal: Reach out with a personal email or phone call to let them know you’re glad they will be there and invite them to stop by your booth or one of the social activities.
3. Target and segment your prospects: Send a targeted email to your prospects to share what your company will be doing at the show and give them a good reason to stop by.
4. Offer a special show-only price or discount on your product or service to generate traffic to your booth.
5. Use your analytics to see who is opening your email and make sure to follow up with whoever opens or clicks on links.
6. Use social media. Reach out or connect with prospects on social media, for example on LinkedIn or Instagram.
7. Differentiate yourself! Be creative. Be clear. Make it simple and professional. People are overwhelmed with information and inquiries and over 250 exhibitors will have the same list of attendees.
8. On-Site: Use your lead generator on the TCIA Connect app to connect and create a lead list.
9. Follow-Up: Plan targeted follow-up with your connections made at the show.  You can download your contacts through TCI Connect.
